Chapter 323 Don't you like me like this?
Xu Muhua didn't say much after hearing what Xu Jinyu said. A cousin she didn't know at all should be treated well. If she was really a troublemaker, she wouldn't get used to it.
If she really made too much noise, it couldn't be her fault! It's not like her parents who gave birth to her should get used to her, right?
If anyone scolded her, she would kill everyone who stopped her equally!
If a guest is coming, then preparations must be made. The yard for the guest to stay in and the items that the guest will use must be cleaned up. Especially her cousin, who will take the imperial examination in the spring, so she can't be careless.
This ancient imperial examination is like the modern college entrance examination, and it must be treated seriously. So the yard prepared for this cousin must be a bit sophisticated.
It should be quiet so that he can study, but it should not be too remote, otherwise people will think that the Duke Cheng's Mansion deliberately neglects him. The room should not be too cold or too hot, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable. He should be careful about food, drink, clothing and other things.
Xu Muhua simply went to the old lady and told her about the matter.
The old lady was very happy that there were guests at her house. After thinking for a while, she said, "Just arrange for him to live in the courtyard where your eldest brother lived when he took the exam. That courtyard is nice!"
Although Xu Rui is the son of the Duke Cheng's Mansion, he is also a serious person who has passed the imperial examinations honestly and his grades are quite good.
Fortunately, he was not very active after passing the exam, otherwise the person in the palace might have exiled him to some corner.
Later, the yard was vacant. Xu Nan was not willing to live there. He had his own yard that he liked to live in.
Usually, there were servants to clean up and take care of it. Now, after a little tidying up and arranging, it would be very suitable for her cousin to live in.
Xu Muhua thought about it and remembered that there was such a yard in the mansion. She smiled and said, "I knew that it would be right to ask grandma for this matter. Grandma's memory is better than mine! I even forgot the small yard where my eldest brother lived."
The old lady laughed and scolded, "This little mouth is like honey. You just say nice things to fool me. I think you probably want to ask me for something again!"
Xu Muhua pretended to be angry and said, "Grandma, you say this to me, I will be sad! I am so filial, and you still say this to me!"
The old lady laughed and pointed at her, "Speak nicely to me!"
This pretended timid posture makes people want to hit her!
"Grandma, don't you like me like this?"
The old lady couldn't bear it any longer, and looked around to see if there was anything she could throw at her.
The old lady next to her couldn't help but smiled with her hands covering her lips.
The eldest lady is really a live treasure! No matter who it is, as long as she wants, she can make people lively.
Xu Muhua saw that the old lady seemed to be serious, and was afraid that she would really pick up something and throw it at her. At that time, it would be wrong for her to hide, and it
would be wrong not to hide! She quickly begged for mercy, "Good grandmother, the best grandmother in the world, your granddaughter knows that I am wrong, please forgive me this time, I will never dare to do it again next time, I will be serious and stop playing tricks, okay?"
The old lady stopped her action and glanced at her.
Humph, she didn't believe it!
This girl used to be lively, but you can also feel that she has defined a range for herself and will never go beyond that range. But now, she really has no scruples.
Sometimes she can really make people laugh to death, and sometimes she can really make people angry to death!
Xu Muhua didn't feel embarrassed at all. He sat next to the old lady and coaxed her again, saying all kinds of nice words as if they were free. The old lady laughed continuously, and she didn't care what she wanted to do.
She was her granddaughter, so she could do whatever she wanted!
After Xu Muhua left, the old lady came back to her senses and slapped her thigh fiercely, "Oh, I've been fooled again!"
The old nanny next to her said, "Old lady, don't worry. Although the eldest lady always runs out, she hasn't caused any trouble, has she? The eldest lady is so smart, she will definitely protect herself."
The old lady glanced at her, "I'm worried that she is too wild, won't it be hard for her to get married in the future?"
The old nanny said confidently, "But it's because the eldest lady is about to come of age, so she should seize the time and enjoy herself! After all, when she comes of age, she will have to talk about marriage, and it will be settled." The old lady
choked.
After reporting to the old lady, Xu Muhua arrived at the Princess's Mansion early that day. This time it wasn't her own desire to join in the fun, it was the Princess who asked her to go along.
After they dressed up, they left through the small door.
Unfortunately, Ling Hongge came right after they left.
When Aunt Qi saw him, her eyebrows jumped, and she stepped in front of him when he came over, "Young Master." Seeing
Aunt Qi, Ling Hongge came back to his senses and smiled subconsciously, "Aunt Qi, I'm here to pay my respects to Aunt. Aunt is inside, right?"
As she was about to step in, Aunt Qi moved and blocked his steps.
"Aunt Qi, what are you doing..."
Ling Hongge was a little surprised.
"Young Master, it's not convenient for His Highness to see people now. You might as well go back first and come back tomorrow!"
Ling Hongge was stunned. Not convenient to see people?
"Are you sick, Auntie?"
"She is feeling a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Miss Xu came here and is accompanying Your Highness in there now. Thanks to Miss Xu's visit today, Your Highness finally has someone to talk to about his worries."
Aunt Qi did not give a clear answer to Ling Hongge's question, but the hint was very obvious in her words.
Ling Hongge did not doubt anything, and he understood something after Aunt Qi said that.
He immediately said, "In that case, I will go back to the Ling Mansion today and come back tomorrow." It was
also the eldest princess's idea to let Ling Hongge stay in the Ling Mansion temporarily after returning to the capital.
Her original intention was that Ling Hongge was not her son after all, and he had his own biological parents and close relatives. He usually stayed by her side, and now that he rarely returned to the capital, he should be allowed to go back and show his filial piety.
But if the princess had known about the prince consort, she would have refused to let Ling Hongge return to the Ling Mansion. She would have ordered him not to have any contact with anyone in the Ling Mansion.
Nanny Qi looked at him with a complicated look, "You are thoughtful. You have always been a filial child. His Highness knows it."
Ling Hongge was suddenly praised and smiled a little embarrassedly, "This is what I should do. Auntie is good to me, I remember it all."
Hearing this, Madam Qi said meaningfully: "I hope you will always remember that His Highness is kind to you."
Never hurt His Highness's heart for someone who is not worthy.
Ling Hongge thought that what Madam Qi said was a little strange, but he did not think much about it. He nodded and gave Madam Qi a few more instructions before turning around and leaving.
