5. Chapter 5 It’s over, something bad is going to happen



At the hour of You, Mu Nanjin returned to the Tang family and saw Emperor Wenzong of Tang and his wife standing at the gate, seeing off the guests who came to visit the Tang family to their cars.

Among the guests were both men and women, middle-aged elders and young boys and girls. Everyone was dressed appropriately. The attitudes of the elders varied from distant to intimate, while the faces of the younger generations all had a hint of shyness.

Mu Nanjin could tell even with a glance that the Tang family was looking for a partner for their younger generation again.

[Oh, the Tang family is holding another large-scale matchmaking event. This time, they are willing to lower their standards and no longer invite the families of officials above the fifth rank. They also invite the families of officials of the sixth and seventh ranks to visit the Tang family. Have they finally realized that it may not be a good thing to let their daughter marry high? ]

The officials present froze and hurriedly urged their families to get on the carriages: "Go, go."

The wives of the officials said unhappily, “We haven’t said goodbye to Lord Tang and the others yet.”

"No need to say goodbye, Master Tang will understand us."

The smile on Emperor Wenzong of Tang's face froze.

Damn it, something bad is going to happen.

Mu Nanjin is back.

[Eh? Why are these people running faster than each other? Don't they want to become relatives with the Tang family? Although Tang Wenzong is only a fifth-rank official, he is a good person. His wife Jiang Zhenru usually speaks harshly, but she is actually a kind-hearted mother who protects her daughters. If you marry your daughter to him, she will definitely not be treated unfairly.]

Mu Nanjin sighed inwardly when he saw the Dali Temple Shaoqing's carriage leave the Tang family first.

【The Dali Temple Shaoqing slipped away really quickly, but it was good that he slipped away. The Dali Temple Shaoqing was a timid person. If the Tang family encountered any problems, they would immediately shut themselves up and not see them. Moreover, the Dali Temple Shaoqing was a position that was prone to getting into trouble, and the Tang family, a small family, really couldn't handle it. In addition, the Shaoqing's wife was mean and tortured her daughter-in-law to death. Her eldest daughter-in-law was the best example. She beat her body black and blue every day, or made her kneel from morning to night. Any daughter who married into them would be tortured to death sooner or later. It's better not to become their in-laws.】

【Tang Wenzong and Jiang Zhenru are really bad at choosing in-laws. Take the Imperial College Priest for example. Although his family background is good and everyone has good character, his family education is too strict and everyone in the family has a stern face. How can Tang Zhiyue, who is innocent and lively, be suitable for the child of the Imperial College Priest?】

[In my opinion, the child of the sixth-rank imperial physician Miao is the most suitable. Not to mention that everyone in his family has a gentle temperament, but also that his family has been doctors for generations, and both men and women have studied medicine. If you have a minor illness or pain in the future, don't be afraid, there is a doctor at home. If you get injured, don't be afraid, there are too many medicines at home to use up. If you have a difficult birth, don't be afraid, there is a female doctor at home to help deliver the baby. What is the most important thing now? Of course, life is the most important. If you have a relative who can treat illnesses, you can live longer. ]

That makes sense.

The officials present nodded subconsciously.

The officials' wives asked, "What are you nodding at?"

The official coughed lightly: "Nothing."

Mu Nanjin walked towards the Tang family after seeing everyone leave: "Master Tang, Madam Tang."

Tang Wenzong looked at her with complicated feelings.

In recent years, he had never treated her well, thinking that she would hate him in her heart, but he didn't expect that he would have such a high opinion of him in his heart.

[What's going on when Emperor Wenzong of Tang looked at me with the expression of 'seeing a daughter he hasn't seen for many years'? Could it be that he had a daughter with another woman outside, and this daughter disappeared, so he looked for her and mistakenly thought that I was his missing daughter? ]

"Cough cough cough." Emperor Wenzong of Tang was almost choked to death by his own saliva.

Jiang Zhenru patted his back: "Are you okay?"

Tang Wenzong waved his hand.

Jiang Zhenru looked at Mu Nanjin and snorted, "You are so shameless that so many people wait for you to eat every day."

Mu Nanjin agreed with her words: "Madam is telling you that Tang Jingrui is even more shameless than me, asking me and so many people to wait for him to have dinner."

Jiang Zhenru was so angry at her: "I'm talking about you, what does it have to do with Jingrui?"

Her son is a man who does big things, so it's normal for him to come back late.

"You mean we don't have to wait for Tang Jingrui to eat? Then let him eat cold rice."

"Why should my son eat cold rice..."

"That's enough." Tang Wenzong interrupted Jiang Zhenru and said to Mu Nanjin, "Nanjin, go back to your room and change your clothes before coming out for dinner."

Mu Nanjin turned around and went back to the backyard.

Jiang Zhenru stared at Mu Nanjin's back and said angrily, "Master, why did you let her leave?"

In the past, Emperor Wenzong of Tang would have scolded Mu Nanjin together with her, and would not let her go until his unhappiness had subsided.

But today, Emperor Wenzong of Tang not only did not reprimand Mu Nanjin with her, he also stopped her from reprimanding Mu Nanjin. His words and actions were somewhat abnormal.

Emperor Wenzong of Tang could not tell her the truth, so he could only find a reason to intimidate her and tell her not to bother Mu Nanjin again, so that Mu Nanjin would not complain in her heart and expose all their family affairs to others.

Jiang Zhenru was just a woman, and her face turned pale when she was threatened. "I can say that my son is a fifth-rank official, but Mu Nanjin is just a small ninth-rank official, so why can't he be said to be?"

Emperor Wenzong of Tang kept a straight face and said nothing.

Seeing her husband's serious look, Jiang Zhenru was immediately frightened. In order to prevent her husband and son from losing their official positions because of her, she could only bow her head and compromise: "I understand. I will say less about her in the future."

The two returned to the hall.

Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang asked with a sour face: "Is Mu Nanjin not back yet?"

Jiang Zhenru didn't say anything.

Tang Wenzong said: "She should go back to her room and change her clothes."

Mr. Tang was even more unhappy: "She is just a ninth-rank Jinyiwei. What can she be busy with? She makes us elders wait for her to eat every day. Does she treat us as elders?"

Old Madam Tang continued, "If she doesn't regard us as her elders, then let others be her elders. She is fifteen years old, and it's time for her to find a husband."

"This is a good idea. Once she gets married, she won't bother Jingrui anymore." These words were said by Tang Jingrui's eldest brother.

Madam Tang looked at her silent daughter and said, "A Zhao, what do you think?"

Tang Liuzhao did not object: "Ayi will not agree."

Mr. Tang snorted coldly: "He is not the master of this family. He has to agree even if he doesn't agree."

Tang Jingrui's sister-in-law said, "If Mu Qinyi doesn't agree, we can marry Mu Nanjin off while he's away. He's often on business trips, and he'll be gone for ten days or half a month at a time. By the time he comes back, the matter will have been settled."

Madam Tang said calmly, "Girls always have to get married. He can't keep Mu Nanjin forever. It's decided. Zhenru, you'll have to pay more attention to this matter. With her status, she can't marry into a wealthy family. Just find her an ordinary person to marry."

Jiang Zhenru glanced at her husband.

Emperor Wenzong of Tang moved his lips as if he wanted to say something but he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Zhenru took it as his tacit approval of Old Madam Tang's approach: "Yes."

Seeing that everyone was taking the initiative to find a marriage for Mu Nanjin, Tang Zhiyue couldn't help but mutter, "If you don't want to wait for Mu Nanjin to eat, then you can eat separately. Why do you have to bring up marriage?"

Jiang Zhenru, who was standing next to her, heard her words, turned around and glared at her, and whispered, "When the elders are talking, you should keep your voice down."

Do you really think that Madam Tang and the others don't want to wait for Mu Nanjin to eat? They want Mu Nanjin to get married quickly to avoid ruining Tang Jingrui's reputation.

Not long after, Mu Nanjin changed her clothes and came to the hall.

Tang Jingrui just got off work and returned home.

He looked a little dazed. He was absent-minded when Jiang Zhenru talked to him. He only came to his senses when he saw Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin frowned when he saw that Mu Qinyi didn't come back.

[My uncle has been out for several days and he hasn't come back yet? ]

Hearing this, Emperor Wenzong looked up and asked his sister Tang Liuzhao, "Has there been any news about Qin Yi since he left for so many days? Did he say when he will be back?"

Tang Liuzhao swept his cold eyes over Mu Nanjin and said calmly, "No."

Old Madam Tang frowned: "He is away on business trips for longer and longer periods of time. Hasn't he ever thought about the fact that he has a wife at home waiting for him to come back?"

Emperor Wenzong of Tang said: "He is just a small yamen runner of the Six Gates. Even if he wants to come back, the head of the police must release him. He can't come back whenever he wants."

"Let's eat." Old Master Tang didn't have the patience to continue this topic and directly asked the servants to bring the food to the table.

Mu Nanjin was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting each other. He quickly finished his meal and went back to his room to wash up and go to bed.

However, she couldn't fall asleep again when she woke up at midnight, so she had to turn on the system to watch TV series.

Darlings, have you collected anything today?
