Chapter 122: Chapter 122(1/2)
Chapter 122 122, Another incident happened
After coming out of his eldest cousin's room, Mu Yunjiang ran to Baiyuan to visit his third cousin, Mu Yunjie.
If the first cousin is a high-spirited husband, then the third cousin is a gentle gentleman.
As a concubine, he has been kind to others since he was a child, even if he is a little too honest, he is an out-and-out good man.
Because he was poisoned, he couldn't see, but he had long heard that Xiao Qi from his second uncle's family was proficient in medical and poison skills. Now that he knew she was here, he was happy and asked directly:
"Seventh sister, how is my condition? Is there still a chance of recovery? The Third Highness came to see me before and said that I was poisoned, but the doctor couldn't cure it. Do you know how to detoxify it?"
He was not in a hurry at all and spoke calmly.
She checked her pulse carefully and said, "It can be solved, but it will take a long time. It can take up to a year before my third cousin can see normally!"
Mu Yunjie is a happy-go-lucky person, as long as he can be cured, he immediately thanked:
"Seventh sister, I'll leave my third cousin's eyes to you... Just in time, I can take advantage of this period of time to learn touch typing on an abacus... Before, my mother had been forcing me to study and had no time to play. Now, I can finally do it.
Just playing with the abacus..."
This optimistic spirit surprised Mu Yunjiang.
"Third cousin likes to dial abacus very much?"
she asked with a smile.
Today, she had a completely new understanding of this third cousin.
"Yes, actually, I don't like reading, I like doing accounts... My ambition is to manage accounts..." He smiled shyly.
Aunt Qi sighed helplessly on the side: "What's the point of doing accounting?"
This child really cannot be saved...
Mu Yunjiang smiled and said: "Auntie, why is it useless? The Ministry of Accounts is in charge of money and calculates the accounts of people all over the world. Third cousin, why don't you dial the numbers for me and let me see how many blind typing skills you have?
sharp?"
Mu Yunjie immediately asked someone to bring an abacus and asked Mu Yunjiang to dial the numbers at will. He dialed the numbers blindly, not to mention that he never dialed the wrong number.
Mu Yunjiang suddenly felt that in the future, when Mu Yunjie's eyes healed, he could be trained to be an accountant.
A small person can manage a business, and a large person can manage the accounts of people all over the world.
She thought whimsically, wrote a prescription, and withdrew, only to hear Aunt Qi scolding her son: "What kind of account is this? Study hard and become an official, so you can have a future."
Mu Yunjie was smiling: "Mom, then I will try my best to work as a clerk in the Duzhi Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs..."
Aunt Qi immediately cursed: "What's the point of that?"
Mu Yunjiang listened happily, he was quite honest and just wanted to do some simple things.
Or, only those who are willing to keep their feet on the ground will be able to achieve great results in the future?
With this thought in mind, she came to the front yard.
Mu Jiangxing hurried in from outside. When he saw her, he immediately smiled and said: "Xiao Qi, thank you for your help today. You came to see your two brothers. How are they doing?"
He asked about his two sons and found out that they were all disabled for the time being. They looked very decadent. He sighed secretly and said:
"This is really a disaster coming from the sky. Why did those people attack our Mu family for no reason? Alas!"
Mu Yunjiang couldn't explain it. The other party probably came for her, and the rest of the Mu family was really implicated by her.
She bowed and prepared to leave.
But Mu Jiang hurriedly stopped him and shouted: "Xiao Qi, there is something that my uncle shamelessly wants to ask you for..."
"Please tell me."
It doesn't feel like a good thing.
Mu Jiang said with a serious face: "Before, your aunt and your grandmother did something excessive to you. I am here to solemnly say I'm sorry to you..."
"The Third Highness has already punished them, so we can ignore this matter and forget about it." Mu Yunjiang had no intention of holding on to the East Courtyard issue.
For her father's sake, she couldn't kill her grandmother and the others. She was her father's biological mother after all.
"If this matter has been revealed, can you persuade your father and brother to move back here? I will have people repair the west courtyard and buy some things for you, so that you can live more comfortably."
Mu Jiang mentioned this matter again, with a look of earnest pleading on his face.
Mu Yunjiang disagreed:
"Uncle, I think it's good for our family to live alone. In this way, you can live comfortably, and we can live comfortably. There is no need to stay together.
"Actually, I think that even brothers should live in separate houses when they get married. If they live together, it is easy for them to have verbal disputes.
"In addition, my father's monthly salary is small. With you, whenever a powerful person invites you to a banquet or something, if you invite the eldest lady, you must also invite the second lady. When you go to the banquet, you must give a gift. If this gift comes from the general ledger, it will be a big deal.
My wife will definitely be dissatisfied. If we were asked to rent out this room, we wouldn't be able to afford it.
"It's better to live separately. We don't have to go to the second room for some unnecessary banquets. Although we lose some interpersonal relationships, our life will be easier."
She refused directly and explained her reasoning clearly.
Mu Jiang listened and felt that it made sense. In fact, Mrs. Zheng had told him more than once before that the second bedroom took advantage of the larger one in terms of cost.
Muhe also said that he didn't like that kind of social interaction.
But now, he was thinking that it would be good to let the second room take advantage of him, so he was willing to help him because he was soft on others:
"Xiao Qi, it's like this. The main reason is that your grandmother and your eldest aunt were both sent to the nunnery. None of the concubines in the family have ever been a concubine, but Yunchu has been a concubine, and you are also very capable.
, if you can all live in the house, help me manage the various expenses of the house, and calculate the accounts, I will be able to be at ease outside..."
Mu Jiang was not at ease with his concubines.
Except for Aunt Qi who gave birth to a son, the other two, one has adopted a daughter, and the other has just given birth to a little son and is busy taking care of the child.
The point is, they are not very literate, how can they manage such a big family?
His family is neither big nor small, and the family business still needs someone to take care of it carefully.
"Can't Yunxiang be taken care of?"
Mu Yunjiang didn't want to take on such a big responsibility.
The eldest sister is weak and is the master of the family, which is an offending job. How can she stand on her own and live a simple life realistically?
"Yunxiang is just a spoiled girl. If she is asked to settle accounts and manage the family shop, she likes buying jewelry so much, and the family's money will definitely be wasted... No, no, no..."
Mu Jiang waved his palm and did not recognize this daughter who was both "civil and military" at all.
"Uncle, it is up to you how you handle your family's affairs, but I am the concubine of the second wife, so I can only take care of the second wife's affairs if I want to...
"If you feel that no one in the family can take on this important task, let the eldest cousin and the third cousin do it together. The eldest cousin can be the eyes of the third cousin, and the third cousin likes to settle accounts. Let them take care of it. It will definitely work.
...gone..."
Mu Yunjiang is not so kind and is willing to bear the mess of the East Courtyard on his shoulders - this is a completely thankless task.
She waved her hand and walked away without hesitation.
Mu Jiang listened to Xiao Qi's idea, but felt it was not appropriate.
The eldest son is now depressed, and the third son is blind. How can they manage their accounts well?
well!
It would be great if the eldest daughter-in-law is still here!
It's a pity that the eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to a child many years ago and died, and the eldest grandson died due to illness two years ago. However, the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law had a deep love and vowed not to marry again within five years, so the house is still empty.
Or, maybe we can buy another room for our eldest son as soon as possible?
But the distant water cannot save the near fire!
He is about to leave for the border...
Sad!
It really worries him to death.

When Mu Yunjiang walked out of General Mu's mansion, he happened to see Mu Yuntao and Guan Guan driving a small carriage and stopped in front of the door.
"Hey, third brother, where did this... carriage come from?"
Although it's a bit small, it looks pretty good.
"Dad asked me to take the money and just buy a small car. He said, we left the east courtyard, and there are mostly women in the house, so we must have a car. So I went to buy a car, let's go, the third brother will take you home...
"
Mu Yuntao was delighted.
Mu Yunjiang looked at it and smiled slightly: The contented look of her third brother made her feel that it was good to be born in a small family. Only by being content can you live happily. Otherwise, even if you become a female county princess, you will not be happy.
Thinking about her previous life, she had everything she wanted, but she was never truly happy.
"Then please trouble Third Brother to drive me to the Third Prince's Mansion! I'll go do something!"
To be continued...
