MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 920 Eighteen years of Yongkang
Chapter 920 Yongkang eighteen years
Mu Zhan had just finished burying his father-in-law when he received an urgent letter from Duke Qian calling him back to Kuncheng, saying that his aunt was gone.
Mu Zhan was horrified, and hurried back to pat his horse. On the way, he only changed horses and did not stop. When he came back, he only saw his aunt who was put in the coffin and was in the nunnery.
After listening to the servant explain the reason, the whole person was terribly silent. Even Qian Guogong didn't see him, he stayed in front of the coffin for three days, and then left with his aunt's coffin.
Gong Qian didn't even go to the meeting hall these days, he just locked himself in the study.
After learning that Mu Zhan went straight to the nunnery, without even questioning him, he left with his aunt's coffin, and the whole person was even more silent.
After being persuaded by Mu Ang for a long time, he raised his head and said, "I sent someone to pull her, but she didn't want to come out, right?"
Mu Ang sighed, "Second Brother, Aunt Jun is determined to die. Both you and Yan'er sent people in to pull her in. It was she who gave up her life on her own initiative. You don't need to blame yourself."
Aunt Jun asked Yan'er to go to the nunnery, and she was ready to die together. Even if the second brother and Yan'er pulled her out in the end, based on what she did, she would definitely be rejected by the second brother.
Even Zhan'er and Wang'er will be rejected.
In this way, even if she dies, she can still take root in the second brother's heart, making the second brother feel guilty, not to mention erasing all her sins, but also desperately trying to make it up to her two sons. But also a motherly heart.
It's a pity that the smart mind is not used on the right way.
Da Fang, Huo Xi and Mu Yan were also talking about Aunt Jun.
"Aunt Jun devoted herself to her death in the end, I'm afraid the Duke would feel that he owed her and would turn to Mu Zhan."
Originally, the evidence presented by Mu Yan, although every piece of evidence was done by the Jun family, but Mu Zhan was not innocent. But now that Mrs. Jun chooses to die, Mu Zhan's fault will also be erased.
Even Mu Yan will not confront Mu Zhan again, let alone the Duke.
Huo Xi couldn't help but sigh. It was only after I became a mother that I realized the feeling of being a mother who is planning for her children.
"Let him go, I'm not afraid." Mu Yan said flatly.
He also didn't expect that at the last moment, Aunt Jun really didn't want to choose to live, but threw herself into the flames. After that, I'm afraid he and Mu Zhan will lose face. Mu Zhan's methods might not be as gentle as they are now.
He is not afraid, but... Thinking of Mu Wang, Mu Yan feels a little complicated.
"Are you worried about the sixth brother?" Huo Xi asked him.
Mu Yan nodded, "Over the years, I can see that the sixth brother really treats me like a brother."
With such a change, I wonder if there will be a change in his heart. At the beginning, I also thought of Mu Wang, so I didn't take Jun's life. But keeping her, I didn't expect such an accident to happen.
"Sixth brother will come back to give her a ride, right?"
Mu Yan shook his head, "He probably won't let the sixth brother come back."
Mu Wang was placed in the army by himself. Over the years, with his own efforts, his official position has been promoted quickly. He is a **** and has no chance of a title. In the future, he can only rely on himself. Fortunately, Mu Wang is smart and capable.
Gong Qian will not let Mu Wang come back, it will affect his official career. If Aunt Jun is the main wife, that's another matter. Mu Wang's aunt is in the capital, and she is by his side. What are you doing back in Yunnan?
Huo Xi doesn't know what's going on in his heart. In this age, there is a clear distinction between his father and mother, even if it is his biological mother, he can only cry in secret, and can't do anything.
Aunt Jun died, Duke Qian lost his smiling face, Mu Zhan took his wife and children to bury Aunt Jun, and stayed in Zhuangzi without even returning to the mansion. Duke Qian did not send anyone to urge him.
The central support of the Mu Mansion was entrusted to the third wife, Duan, who took Mu Jun's wife, Che, and the second concubines, Jin and Bai, to manage it.
Huo Xi only said that his body was not well maintained, and he refused to take over the donation.
It's the end of the year in a blink of an eye. The day before New Year's Eve. Waner a hundred days.
Governor Qian Guo swept away the decline and was full of energy to organize Wan'er's hundred-day banquet in person. The guests for the big banquet invited all the famous people in Kuncheng. Guests, big and small, crowded the Mu Mansion, and the whole mansion was filled with the laughter of young guests.
Duke Qian was very happy. He held Wan'er in his arms, shuttled among the guests, and showed them his granddaughter.
Wan'er has been a bold person since she was born, not afraid of strangers, being hugged by Duke Qian as she shuttled through the crowd, she was willing to stretch out her hand to anyone who hugged her. A pair of **** eyes, still staring at the guests, making the guests unable to put it down, even boasting that they are cute and smart, and within a short time, they received a bosom full of gifts.
Mu Yan, the father, never had a chance to touch his hands.
Watching her daughter being hugged by this and that, the little girl was still cheerful, wanting to be hugged by anyone, and her eyes never looked for her parents, which made Mu Yan feel annoyed.
After Wan'er's Hundred Days Banquet, the next day is New Year's Eve.
Gong Qian personally sent his confidants to Zhuangzi to pick up Mu Zhan's family, but they didn't come back. He only said that he missed his deceased mother and was not in the mood to celebrate the New Year. It is necessary to recite the scriptures of the dead mother on Zhuangzi, so that she can marry a good family and become a real wife of a wealthy family.
Hearing some angry words, Duke Qian's heart was blocked.
In these years, why did he ever treat Aunt Jun as a concubine, and Mu Zhan and Mu Wang as concubines? He didn't invite Mu Zhan to be the crown prince once or twice, and Mu Zhan would agree to everything he wanted.
What else is he going to do?
Since I don't want to come back, I won't come back. Duke Qian was also angry. "Assuming I'm willing to pick him up! I'm thinking of my grandson!" Even though Mu Ang persuaded him that he would pick him up in person, Duke Qian did not agree.
In the eighteenth year of Yongkang, due to the matter of Aunt Jun, the Mu Mansion was quite deserted this year.
The Yu family of Dafang also refused to go down the mountain. He said that he would recite some scriptures of the past for Aunt Jun, so as to alleviate her sins, so that she could be reborn as a kind person in the next life.
The main hall of Shuixin Nunnery was burned down, and Mu Yan wanted to take her back to the mansion, but Mrs. Yu didn't agree, and only said that she was used to living on the mountain, and it was quiet. Mu Yan had no choice but to follow her, and sent some more people to go up the mountain to repair the main hall of Shuixin nunnery.
After the new year's day, Huo Xi, in the name of the wife of the eldest son of the Mu family, called together prominent merchants in Kuncheng and its surrounding areas.
"I invite you to come here today. I want to discuss with you the position of the chairman of the Kuncheng Chamber of Commerce, and to set some regulations for the Chamber of Commerce. To ensure the interests of the merchants in Kuncheng, and work together to prosper the economy of this side. I hope everyone will work together and speak freely .”
In the chamber of commerce, more than a hundred people sat, looking at the darkness. Everyone looked at Mrs. Shizi who presided over the meeting above, and felt a little strange.
In the hall of this guild hall, there were occasional women, but who ever saw a woman sitting at the head and presiding over a meeting?
It seems that something is really different.
After listening to Mrs. Shizi's words, there were buzzing noises below, and some merchants suggested: "Madam's north-south goods store has opened well, bringing convenience to the people and small traders in Kuncheng, and prospering the economy of Kuncheng. The position of the president It's up to Madam to take care of it!"
"Yes, Madam should be in charge!" All the merchants below echoed.
