On April 16, the 31st year of Dahua Qianyuan, the famous general Zhenyuan Hou Mutianhe died of illness.
The government and the public were shocked. The emperor was in great mourning when he heard about it. He decreed to confer the posthumous title of Zhongyi and sent the eldest prince to Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion to read an article and pay tribute.
The prince offered sacrifices. This kind of treatment was higher than that of ordinary princes, and made many noble families envious.
However, those who were interested discovered that when the Minister of Rites asked for the decree, he also asked about the succession of the Marquis. However, whether it was due to lack of energy or grief, His Majesty seemed to turn a deaf ear and sent him away with a wave of his hand, asking who would inherit the position of Marquis. Not a word was mentioned.
When the Mu family received the imperial edict, they also received the news.
Everyone¡¯s expressions changed drastically.
The eldest brother, Mu Jizhong, stared at the third child, Mu Jiren, for a long time. His eyes seemed to burst into flames. He turned around and asked, "Mom, look at this"
Mrs. Xiao was silent for a moment and then sighed and said: "The prince is going to offer his sacrifice, so we have to make good preparations. Jizhong, I will leave all the funeral arrangements to you and Jixiao. We will discuss the rest after the first seven days. No decree." It is better than issuing an immediate decree to lower the level, which will always drag on for a while."
Mrs. Xiao's eyes looked at the dejected Mu Jiren aside, with a hint of resentment that iron could not become steel. She pointed at his face and said, "Your father's illness could have been delayed, but it was all because of you, the villain." Yes. It turns out that I indulged you too much. Look at the good things you have done From now on, you should reflect on yourself in the house and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
"Mom, isn't there still"
Mu Jiren muttered, but Mu Jizhong cut him off.
"I thought that by sending someone in to find his place, I would be able to smooth over your stupid and bad debt. Don't think about it. For this matter, His Majesty issued an edict to reprimand the eldest prince. It sounds fair and honest, but it is hard to guarantee that he is not happy in his heart. There will be knots. What I said to you at the beginning, you have agreed this time. After all, it has dragged down our whole family!" Mu Jizhong said angrily.
It was originally going to be a smooth transition to the title, but I didn't expect that something would go wrong in the end. If he were demoted to uncle, the status of the Mu family would plummet in the future.
Mu Jiren was not happy after hearing this, and shouted: "Stop talking sarcastically. In the final analysis, it will only hinder your ability to succeed to the title. How can you say that I have harmed the whole family?"
"Shut up, everyone! Master Hou just left, are you two going to piss me off too?"
Mrs. Xiao slapped the table and shouted: "Why do you want the eldest prince to offer sacrifices but don't send ministers as usual? Why do you grant a posthumous title but don't mention the title? The royal family has slapped itself in the face, and it has to do something to make amends. The prince's sacrifice has given us enough face and gained us a reputation as a humble and polite person who knows his mistakes, can correct them. But look at you again, the Marquis's body is still cold, and you are quarreling. When word gets out, the virtues of the descendants of the Marquis family are unworthy. Da Ren, you can kill us with just one sentence. The Marquis Mansion has been demoted to the Earl Mansion, let¡¯s see if you all have a bright face."
"Mother¡ª¡ª" Seeing that Mrs. Xiao was extremely angry, Mu Jizhong and Mu Jiren knelt down at the same time, "My son has realized his mistake."
Mu Jixiao also came to smooth things over, "Madam, don't be angry. The whole family just pointed at you when the Marquis left. Didn't you say last time that I have some friendship with Prince Luoxi?"
Mrs. Xiao was confused and asked, "What does Jixiao mean by this?"
"I heard Wang Zengming say that the prince and the eldest prince are on good terms. I estimate that my uncle will come over today. You can talk to him and see if you can get out of the prince's family."
??Mr. Xiao is a housewife. She doesn¡¯t know who Wang Zengming is, but Mu Jizhong knows that the second child has been in the Southeast Army for many years. This news is most likely true.
He hurriedly explained to Mrs. Xiao: "Wang Zengming is the nephew of General Youwei of the East Road. General Youwei was promoted by King Luoxi."
Mrs. Xiao thought for a moment, then waved her hand and said: "Oh, that's it, I'll talk to my eldest brother today. You can leave now. There will be more people coming soon, and there are many things going on in the front yard. Xiuwen and the others are afraid that they won't be able to cope with it. Come."
The three brothers of the Mu family stood up and left.
Mother Wang helped Mrs. Xiao to the back, changed into plain white clothes, sat down, and handed her a cup of tea.
Mrs. Xiao took the tea cup and took a sip, shaking her head and sighing, "The second brother has also made a name for himself in the south in the past few years Look at my two evil deeds, one has high ambitions and low intentions, the other is idle, and a good girl. Andin the end, that bitch Yao Yi got an advantage."
While Mrs. Wang was rubbing Mrs. Xiao's shoulders and back, she said softly: "Madam, please don't be angry. The second master is just taking advantage of his brother-in-law. It's only because the fourth mother's fate is bad. You had no choice but to send the fifth mother there." .After all, even if the second master and fifth wife are born to him, they are not all your children in name. The second master was also anxious to give you some advice just now. When the uncle inherits the title, you don¡¯t have to work so hard. , you can enjoy the cleanCan I go to pay homage to the Marquis? "
"Mother Liu, I am not belittling myself. Although my surname is Mu, I am not a direct relative of the Mu family. How can I explain my identity to outsiders? Besides, even if the Marquis and Madam are ashamed of my mother and treat me like this, more than ten Nian Chenghuan, how can I, a granddaughter of unknown origin, compare with my biological granddaughter? If you look at the furniture and furnishings here, the boudoir of a serious lady in the house is nothing more than this"
Hua Xi sneered, and the Mu family left her and her mother alone. Back then, when my mother left, only my second uncle and a few mothers came to handle the funeral. Where is the Marquis, where is the wife, and where are the uncle and third uncle? If she was given a similar treatment casually, she might not think too much about it and settle down with peace of mind, but now she doesn't want to think too much about it.
Mother Liu was stunned. Although she felt a little distressed when she heard Hua Xi say that her origins were unknown, but thinking about it carefully, she felt that Hua Xi's words were reasonable, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious. She thought that after living for so many years, she might as well not have spent a day in the Hou Mansion. The girl was so clear-eyed that she was both ashamed and relieved for a moment, and then said: "I will turn around and ask the old people in the house to inquire."
Huaxi thought for a while and said, "Well, you haven't been here for more than ten years, and the people in the house have also changed a few times. Even if there are still a few familiar people, they may have stayed in the house for such a long time, and not all of them are familiar with you. We don't have much money to reward people. In this way, you can first see if the people you know are still there, and you can also give more tips to Dingxiang, there are always those girls who talk a lot"
Huaxi didn't know Liu's mother's complicated psychology. She only knew that she had to be careful every step she took from the moment she stepped into the Mu family. The people here must have other plans to pick her back. She must understand the situation of the Mu family as soon as possible and try to avoid Something bad happens to you.
