Chapter 448 Qin Zhizhi meets Mu Xuan for the first time!
Qin Zhizhi was carrying her daughter when she met the maid sent by the Mu family halfway.
"Young Madam, the Second Madam sent me to tell you that we should go to the Old Madam's courtyard for dinner. The Second Madam's second brother has arrived at the mansion."
The maid didn't expect to meet Qin Zhizhi on the way, and it seemed that she was heading towards the second lady's courtyard.
"Nian Nian and I are going to my mother-in-law's yard. Let's go!"
After hearing what the maid said, Qin Zhizhi knew that this was the maid sent by her mother-in-law to inform her. Since she was here, the maid naturally didn't need to go to her yard anymore.
"Yes, Madam!"
The maid bowed and followed Qin Zhizhi to Mu's courtyard.
As soon as Qin Zhizhi entered the yard carrying Gu Nian, the little girl started shouting happily.
"Grandma, Nian Nian and mother are here!"
"You just entered the yard, how could your grandmother hear you?"
Qin Zhizhi tapped her daughter's forehead helplessly. She had been out playing for the entire afternoon, and she was still so energetic.
"Grandma, you'll hear me. Please recite it louder!"
"Grandma, I'm here!"
After saying this, the little girl raised her voice a little, making the maids and servants around her laugh. The young lady was so cute.
The maid guarding the gate heard Gu Nian's voice and hurried to report to Mrs. Mu.
When Qin Zhizhi and her daughter arrived, Mu Shi and Mu Xuan were already waiting for them.
"Mom, grandma, I heard it!" Little Dumpling was very happy to see his grandmother.
"Meet mother! Who is this?"
Qin Zhizhi first bowed to her mother-in-law. Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law usually didn't care about these formalities, there were people around today, and Qin Zhizhi naturally didn't want to be criticized for her mistakes.
"Zhizhi, this is your second uncle!" Mu introduced him to Qin Zhizhi.
"Meet second uncle!"
"Good boy, no need to be polite!"
Mu Xuan was very satisfied with Qin Zhizhi because she was well-educated, respectful to her mother-in-law.
"Second uncle, you are the elder and Zhizhi is the younger. How can we ask you to come out to greet us? It's not allowed."
Qin Zhizhi felt a little guilty when she saw her mother-in-law and second uncle coming out to greet her and Nian Nian. After all, they were the elders, and this dynasty was ruled by filial piety.
"I heard Nian Nian's voice and couldn't help but come out to see, Nian Nian, come to your second uncle for a hug!"
The little dumpling was not shy, so Mu Xuan reached out and smoothly took the little dumpling from Qin Zhizhi's hand.
"Come in!"
Mrs. Mu invited everyone into the house. Mu Xuan held Gu Nian in his arms, and Qin Zhizhi supported her mother-in-law and walked behind.
After they sat down, Mu told Qin Zhizhi in detail about herself and her family.
Qin Zhizhi had suspected her mother-in-law's background before, but her mother-in-law didn't mention it. She thought there must be a reason, so she didn't ask too much. Everyone has the right to choose whether to speak or not.
She didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that her mother-in-law and second uncle met in the capital. Maybe this was fate, they were destined to be an inseparable family.
"Uncle, since you are in the capital, please stay at your house for a few more days. Mother has been away from home for so many years, and I'm sure she has a lot to say to you."
Qin Zhizhi looked at her daughter who was smiling happily in her second uncle's arms, and sincerely invited Mu Xuan to stay at her house for a few more days.
"I finally found my little sister. I need to go back and tell your grandparents."
Mu Xuan couldn't wait to tell his family the good news right away. This was great news for the whole family.
"Uncle, you can write a letter to grandpa and grandma first!" Qin Zhizhi suggested.
"Yes, I was so happy that I forgot something so important!"
Mu Xuan was so happy to find his younger sister that he completely forgot about this.
"Uncle, don't worry. Why don't you write a letter to your family now? I'll find a way to send it back for you and ensure that your grandparents receive it as soon as possible." Qin Zhizhi suggested with a smile.
"Is it really possible?" Mu Xuan asked happily.
"Second brother, why don't you write it now? You can trust Zhizhi to do it!"
Mrs. Mu was also very excited and wanted to write a letter to her parents immediately.
"Okay, then let's go write the letter now!" Mu Xuan was a little excited.
"Then come with me to the study!"
"good!"
"Let's go to the study!" Little Dumpling also wanted to go with them.
"Niannian, can you please go to the kitchen with mother so that grandma and uncle can write the letter properly?"
Qin Zhizhi was afraid that her daughter would cause trouble in the study, so she planned to take her to the kitchen and prepare some Jiangnan dishes to entertain her second uncle.
This is the first time that my mother-in-law's family is visiting, so we must treat them well.
Although the little girl was a little reluctant, she agreed without hesitation since she wanted to accompany her dear mother.
"Accompany mother!"
The little girl reached out to her mother to hold her, which made the Mu brothers and sisters laugh.
"Qiuju, go call the housekeeper over. Once the letter is written, send it out as quickly as possible."
Qin Zhizhi instructed her mother-in-law's maid to call the housekeeper over to help mail the letter.
"Yes, Madam!"
Qiuju accepted the order and left. Although it was not the Second Madam's order, it was related to the Second Madam, so she had to listen to the Young Madam.
Everyone in the mansion knew that the Second Lady doted on her daughter-in-law.
Mu took his second brother to the study. Mu Xuan was still a little awkward, but he was a little surprised to see that his younger sister was familiar with the place and came in without any obstruction.
"Little sister, is this the study in the mansion?"
"This is my husband's small study. Don't worry, second brother. It has all the necessary pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. Jing Huai also has a small study in his own yard. There's also a large one in the mansion, but it's a bit far, so I didn't take you there."
Mrs. Mu thought that her second brother was worried that the study room didn't have all the necessary writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, so she explained it to him.
"That brother-in-law really loves reading!" Mu Xuan said with a smile.
"He usually studies in the study when he's free, and he also helps Jingshu and Jingyao with their schoolwork when he's free."
"However, Jingshu and Jingyao still prefer their eldest brother to teach them, and they usually spend their rest time in Zhizhi and Jinghuai's yard."
When Mrs. Mu said this, her face was full of smiles, and it can be seen that she has a good relationship with her husband and children.
"So Jing Huai is even more powerful than my brother-in-law!"
"Of course!"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Mu was very proud. Although her husband was the third place in the imperial examination, her son was the first place in the imperial examination.
Moreover, her son’s current official position is higher than her husband’s, so in her heart, her son is of course more powerful.
When Mu Xuan saw the smile on his younger sister's face, he felt happy too. As long as his younger sister was doing well, his parents would feel more at ease. Fortunately, his brother-in-law had never let his younger sister down.
The two came to the study, which was fully equipped with everything. Mu personally ground the paper for his second brother, and Mu Xuan began to write a letter home.
Mu Xuan quickly finished writing the letter. While the ink was drying, he asked Mu, "Little sister, do you want to personally tell our parents that you are safe? They really miss you!"
Mrs. Mu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then picked up a pen to write a letter home and sent it back together with her second brother's letter.
The two came out of the study. Mu gave the letter to the housekeeper, asked him to make arrangements, and then took her second brother back to her own courtyard.
The housekeeper didn't dare to delay and hurried to make arrangements with the letter.
