Chapter 80 Guanyin prays for a child
Mu Junyan thought it was just a young boy's impulsiveness, and said, "The autumn exam is approaching, and you haven't even reached adulthood yet, so you can't be distracted at this time. Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words, and you can't make the decision on your own."
Mu Feng was anxious. A girl like Gu Huan must be coveted by many people.
She was hiding in the boudoir before, but now she lives with her cousin's wife in the Duke's Mansion. Isn't it just to have more opportunities to meet outstanding men?
He had the opportunity to see it earlier, so of course he had to make a decision early.
"Don't worry, uncle. My mother and father don't care much about a girl's background. They say that as long as she has good character, it's fine. If uncle helps to ask for it, there will be no problem."
Mu Feng's tone was pleading.
Mu Junyan was inexplicably upset and no longer wanted to talk to him.
He hummed absentmindedly.
Seeing that his second uncle, who usually refused to agree to things easily, actually agreed to it, Mu Feng was so excited that he almost jumped up.
He quickly moved closer and whispered, "I will definitely repay my second uncle's kindness. My father wanted to come today, but he was afraid that my second uncle would be angry. I will find a time and I will host him. Please do me the favor and make peace with my father."
Mu Junyan glanced at him and said, "Don't get involved in the affairs of your elders."
Mu Feng chuckled: "Yeah, nephew will listen to second uncle."
He felt comfortable when being scolded, and was extremely happy. He felt that he would be able to win the beauty soon.
After listening all the way, the old lady looked at her silly son helplessly.
The old woman pretended to be crazy and stupid just to protect her son.
She knew very well why her son separated the second and third rooms and why he did not marry.
It's all because of those greedy and selfish guys in the palace.
But as a mother, how can I not feel sorry for my child?
Everyone can see how good Miss Gu Huan is. If she doesn't care about her status and is willing to stay with her son, she will definitely not let the little girl suffer any grievances.
But she also understood the discomfort in her son's heart.
The old lady secretly looked at her granddaughter-in-law. If the little girl didn't have such a sister, things would be much easier.
Mu Junyan supported the old lady in silence.
But my heart is very complicated.
It was the first time that Mu Feng saw her, and he wanted to marry her like crazy without even saying a word.
Pei Yi was the same. He trusted her after only meeting her for a few times and gave her money and a yard.
Could it be that Gu Huan was seducing her intentionally?
Like she was trying to seduce me?
Gu Huan knew that Pei Yi had no intention of treating her as a mistress, and she also knew that Pei Yi had a powerful wife.
If she knew that this silly boy Mu Feng wanted to marry her as his wife, wouldn't she be tempted?
The boy is full of youth and is about the same age as the girl...
Looking at myself again, I realize that not only am I old in age, but my heart is also old.
After decades of being a powerful figure, he felt tired for the first time.
Hearing the young man beside him chattering excitedly about his future plans, he suddenly thought, wouldn't it be better if Gu Huan could marry a passionate young man as her legal wife?
Gu Wanru, who was following behind, listened to the whole thing, and her gloomy eyes were filled with some inexplicable thoughts.
It is indeed a nuisance for this little devil Gu Huan to stay in the Duke's Mansion.
Everyone had their own thoughts and unknowingly arrived at the Xuanyun Hall in the front yard.
Jiang Ruoxi was dressed like a peacock and saw Mu Junyan coming in with the old lady.
There was no trace of the old lady in her eyes. She went straight to greet him eagerly and said softly and sweetly, "Brother-in-law, I have always wanted to come and visit you, but my grandmother called me into the palace to accompany her during this period, so I can't be free."
Mu Junyan's face darkened.
Mu Silang, Mu Yong, Mu Liulang and Mu Feng, who followed in, also frowned slightly.
Regardless of your status, since you are here to celebrate the birthday and you are a junior, shouldn’t you pay your respects to the old lady first?
Jiang Ruoxi was glanced at indifferently by Mu Junyan's gloomy eyes. She paused in her steps and came to her senses belatedly.
She quickly bowed to the old lady: "Ruoxi greets the old lady. Ruoxi specially selected a top-quality jade Buddha for you to celebrate your birthday. And your grandmother also asked me to bring you a birthday present."
Two attendants carrying a large brocade box came forward behind her, opened the box, and carefully carried out a half-human-high white jade Guanyin.
Another maid was also holding a brocade box, and when she opened it, she found a century-old ginseng.
For the Empress Dowager, this gift is not good enough.
Mu Junyan didn’t mind it, it was the same whether he gave it or not.
Mu Silang and Mu Yong's eyes moved slightly.
When he arrived, his father ordered him to observe who else came to celebrate his birthday, as this could represent the attitude of the royal family and other prominent families towards Duke Yong.
The old lady seemed not to notice the Empress Dowager's gift. She pointed at Jade Guanyin and clapped her hands happily.
"Wow, Guanyin, Guanyin is praying for a child. My son is going to have a son? I am going to have a grandson."
Jiang Ruoxi blushed shyly, walked to the other side of the old lady, and reached out to hold her arm.
He said, "The old lady wants a grandson, and she will get what she wants soon."
Unexpectedly, before her hand touched the old lady's sleeve, the old lady suddenly turned around, and her dancing hands turned along with her.
Bang!
A crisp slap landed directly on Jiang Ruoxi's face.
Everyone was shocked.
The hall was silent for a moment.
"Ma'am, why did you hit me?"
Jiang Ruoxi covered her delicately made-up face, feeling embarrassed and angry, but unable to vent her anger.
"Where's my little fairy? Hurry up and ask her to come and pray so that I can have a child soon."
The old lady didn't seem to realize that she had hit someone, and she pulled Mu Junyan around in circles to look for him.
Mu Junyan's originally cold face couldn't help but crack a smile, and he played along with the old lady.
"Mother, be careful, slow down, who are you looking for?"
The old lady stamped her feet like a child in a tantrum and shouted, "Quickly call the fairy to come and pray, or it won't work."
No one in the whole room cared about the beaten county lady.
Those who know know that it is Gu Huan, while those who don’t know are curious about which little fairy it is.
Jiang Ruoxi was so angry that her face turned red, but she couldn't help being curious and jealous, so she asked, "Brother-in-law, who is the little fairy the old lady mentioned?"
Mu Junyan glanced at her and said, "She must be the younger sister of Mu An's wife. She has been accompanying the old lady a lot recently."
Gu Wanru was stunned.
Gu Huan often accompanies the old lady?
Does she really want to become the proper mistress of the Yongguo Mansion?
Jiang Ruoxi's eyes widened: "That little vixen!"
Mu Junyan's face suddenly darkened: "Be careful with your words."
Jiang Ruoxi was really angry now. The little vixen actually hooked up with her brother-in-law!
"Brother-in-law, she is Mu An's sister-in-law, how could you be interested in her..."
"County Princess, be careful with your words!" Mu Junyan's sinister voice made her feel a chill down her spine for no apparent reason.
"I...I'm doing this for my brother-in-law's own good." She hesitantly said.
Mu Feng looked at his second uncle in confusion.
How could such a pure and innocent second sister get involved with her second uncle?
It's impossible?
Zhou Zhilan went to the kitchen to deal with matters concerning the birthday banquet. Gu Huan had just returned to the room and had not even sat down when a maid came to call her, saying that the master asked her to dress formally to meet the guests.
Gu Huan was stunned.
Let her dress up formally to meet Jiang Ruoxi?
What does this mean?
When Donghua and Dongqing heard that it was the master's order, they started to get busy.
Gu Huan didn't know what happened in the front hall, but as a man's tool, she had no reason to refuse.
She obediently let the two maids take care of her.
She had already put on exquisite makeup, so she changed into a more dignified and gorgeous skirt, added some jewelry, changed her earrings, and after a busy quarter of an hour she was out.
Everyone in the room had different expressions, waiting for the little fairy the old lady had mentioned to arrive.
Mu Feng looked a little unhappy and looked at the door nervously.
Gu Wanru sensed danger.
She guessed that Gu Huan had successfully climbed into Mu Junyan's bed, but she didn't expect that she not only won Mu Junyan's favor and protected him everywhere, but also won over the old lady.
The old lady would slap any girl in the face when she saw her. She had been beaten before, and the county lady had also been beaten by her, but she treated Gu Huan differently.
Especially Mu An, who did not hide his greed for Gu Huan at all, even though he knew that his father had slept with that bitch.
She was filled with anger and glared at the door.
While everyone was daydreaming, three figures slowly passed by the carved wooden window.
