Yueyue was very sad at first, but now she felt much better after seeing her father like this. She said to Mousse, "If you don't listen to your mother, sleep in the study by yourself."
Yueyue's words made everyone else laugh, and Mousse also started laughing. He thought that next time he talked to his wife in private, he should avoid his precious daughter. She dared to say anything out loud, and he couldn't say it, hit her, or scold her.
Mu Siyu rolled his eyes to the sky. He knew that his father was afraid of his mother. He always boasted in front of him and his brothers, saying that he was the head of the family. Now the truth is exposed.
Seeing that Rong Qing was not angry, Mu Si happily took Murong Shu, Yueyue, and Mu Siyu to the western suburbs to ride horses. As for the others, each of them had their own things to do.
Mu Sishu had to stay in the mansion to accompany Liu Ruyan. Recently, except for being on duty, he basically followed Liu Ruyan closely. For this, Murong Shu teased him for a long time, and told him to relax.
Mu Siqing made an appointment with Jun Mingyue to go out and play today. The two of them made the appointment on the first day of the new year. After seeing off the senior brother, Mu Siqing said hello to Rong Qing and went out.
Mu Siyuan made an appointment with Cheng Xuan, the eldest son of the Cheng family and Cheng Zhi's brother. He had a very good relationship with Cheng Xuan. When Cheng Xuan was a child, he often showed off his sister to Mu Siyuan. Once, he even secretly took his sister out to show Mu Siyuan, and almost lost his sister.
When Cheng Xuan returned home, he was beaten by Mrs. Cheng, but he did not confess that it was related to Mu Siyuan. In the past few years, Mu Siyuan went out to study, and the two often exchanged letters.
Cheng Xuan knew that the Cheng and Mu families were planning a marriage. He felt that Mu Siyuan's real intention was not to marry him, but to his sister Cheng Zhi.
So after Cheng Xuan accepted Mu Siyuan's invitation, he asked his mother for permission and took his sister out to meet Mu Siyuan.
Madam Cheng understood her son's intention and was very happy with this marriage. She and Song Wei had already discussed it, so it would be good for the children to get along with each other for a while. Besides, she felt relieved to have her eldest son with her.
Mu Sijin had an appointment with his classmates to visit his teacher's home today, so he did not follow his father and sisters to the western suburbs for horseback riding.
Rong Qing said that he was going to the shop just to give Mousse a way out. Song Wei knew it well, so she took Rong Qing to her yard and asked her to help prepare Murong Shu's dowry.
The first month of the year is over.
The Mu family and the Wen family started to get busy. In order to prepare for Murong Shu's marriage, Rong Qing rarely went to the shop recently and stayed in the mansion to help his sister-in-law Song Wei. Master Rong and Rong Yunnan also fully supported him.
During these busy days, the Mu family welcomed their first newborn.
The first child of Mu Sishu and Liu Ruyan was born. Although it was their first child, the delivery process went smoothly and was faster than Murong Shu had expected.
When Murong Shu came out of the delivery room holding the baby to show everyone, Mu Si said with emotion, "The crying sound is so loud, it's obvious that he is the boy of my Mu family."
Everyone had the same idea as Mousse, but Murong Shu's words shocked everyone, "We are little girls, Second Uncle can't make a mistake."
Mousse was the first to be stunned. Why could his eldest brother give birth to a daughter, and his eldest nephew also have a daughter, but he couldn't? Then he looked at the baby with joy, then glanced at Mu Siqing with resentment, and put the pressure on his eldest son.
"Hurry up and tell the old lady the good news. Our Mu family has a new little girl." Song Wei was also very happy and ordered the servants to inform the old lady.
Even Mu Shi, a big man who was usually not good at expressing himself, came over with a happy face and looked at his little granddaughter with joy in his eyes.
When Murong Shu wanted to give the child to her eldest brother to hold first, she found that her eldest brother was missing. Rong Qing saw Murong Shu looking for Mu Sishu again, and smiled and said to her, "Your eldest brother has gone in to accompany your sister-in-law."
Murong Shu nodded, and then handed the child to his mother, "Let grandma hold the child first. He will be as gentle and virtuous as grandma in the future."
Song Wei carefully took the little granddaughter, took a closer look, and said to Mu Shi excitedly, "Husband, look, isn't she exactly the same as Shu'er when she was a child?"
When Mu Shi heard his wife say that she looked like their daughter when she was a child, he quickly went forward to take a look and found that she really looked like her daughter when she was a child as his wife said.
Mu Shi also wanted to hug his granddaughter, but was rejected by Murong Shu, and then said to Rong Qing, "Let your aunt hug her first. The baby is smart and clever."
Rong Qing didn't expect that he would hold the baby before his elder brother. He happily took the child from his elder sister-in-law's arms and said, "It looks just like our Shu'er."
After Rong Qing held the baby, it was Yueyue's turn. Mu Siyu asked curiously, "Fifth sister, if the pretty one holds the baby, will the baby grow up to be pretty in the future?"
Murong Shu originally wanted to tease a few people, so he smiled and nodded. Then the men of the Mu family started arguing about who was the most handsome.
Song Wei was afraid that they would disturb her granddaughter, so she took the child directly to find her son and daughter-in-law. She had to let the child's father hug her first. Her silly son probably didn't know that Liu Ruyan had given birth to a daughter for her.
By the time the people outside the door finished arguing, Mu Sishu had been holding his daughter for a long time, smiling like a fool. Song Wei was a little reluctant to admit that this was her son.
"Shu'er, your mother will take good care of Ruyan, and the child has a wet nurse to take care of her. You should hurry to the Liu family to tell them the good news and make your mother-in-law happy." Song Wei was very happy to have a granddaughter, and urged her son to hurry to the Liu family to tell them the good news.
After being reminded by his mother, Mu Sishu finally realized that he had to go to the Liu family to announce the good news. He said to Liu Ruyan, "Yan'er, you take a rest first. If you feel uncomfortable, tell your sister and mother. I will go to announce the good news to my father-in-law and mother-in-law first."
"Husband, I'm fine, you can go without worry." Liu Ruyan knew that the Mu family did not favor boys over girls, but when she saw how much her mother-in-law and second aunt liked her daughter, as well as the quarrel outside just now, Liu Ruyan felt relieved.
Mrs. Liu arrived very quickly and was very happy to hear that her daughter had given birth safely. She felt a little nervous when she found out that it was her granddaughter, but she felt relieved when she saw the excitement and joy on her son-in-law Mu Sishu's face.
After arriving at the Mu Mansion, Madam Liu felt that she had been narrow-minded before. Her daughter was well taken care of, and the whole family was vying to see the child. She even suspected that if she had given birth to a grandson, he might not have received the same treatment.
When the wet nurse handed the child to Madam Liu, Madam Liu had to admit that her granddaughter was a blessed person. The child looked neither like a daughter nor like a son-in-law, but rather like her aunt Murong Shu.
"Isn't she cute?" Song Wei sat next to Mrs. Liu, her eyes and heart filled with her newborn granddaughter. She thought she was cute no matter how she looked at her.
"She looks exactly like Shu'er when she was a child. She is such a blessed person." Madam Liu loves her granddaughter very much. Just because she looks like her aunt, she will definitely be favored in the Mu family.
"Who said it wasn't? I missed Shu'er's growth, but I didn't expect Ruyan and Shu'er to make my life complete." Song Wei was extremely satisfied with her son and daughter-in-law.
"This is your blessing, Wei'er. There are good days ahead." Madam Liu was also genuinely happy for her friend. Song Wei nodded, and then she and Madam Liu played with the child.
