Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

On this day, Jinfeng, Jinbai and Jinxi finally showed up at Xu Jingshu's side.

As for Xier, she had already sent someone to tell her that she didn't need to come to pay her respects and to let her have a day's rest.

After all, they had just finished learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting yesterday, and Xu Jingshu was afraid that Xier would be exhausted.

Now she looks at her three sons in front of her with great satisfaction in her eyes.

Even if Jinfeng cannot take the imperial examination, she can still pursue the path of a military general. With the help of her mother's family, the general's mansion, her future is limitless.

The person who will inherit the master's network resources in the future will be between Jinbai and Jinxi.

She felt that marrying the master was the right choice!

Where Xu Jingshu couldn't see, the brothers' expressions were all different.

Mu Jinfeng looked down on his other two younger brothers and resented them. It was obvious that they were not as smart as him, nor as favored by their father as he was. It was only an unexpected disaster that ruined his qualifications!

Mu Jinbai looked a little unnatural when he stood with his elder brother. He still remembered the scene yesterday when his father praised his elder brother.

Doesn’t father intend to give up on my eldest brother?

Then what should he and they do!

Mu Jinxi's eyes were blank, and it was obvious that she had not recovered from yesterday's teaching.

He got up early this morning to pay his respects to his mother. When he was woken up by the servant, he thought he was going to his father's study again!

Fortunately, his father went out for something today, so he could finally relax.

"By the way," the mother suddenly broke the quiet atmosphere, "Do you still remember the prince of Jingyang Marquis Mansion?"

"He played well with you guys before, and after hearing about Jin Feng's injury, he wants to come visit you tomorrow."

"Be prepared. Don't be rude."

Mu Jinfeng's eyes darkened. Have fun? As long as it can bring benefits to their family, can't they play together?

You have to be nicer to your future allies.

Mu Jinfeng laughed at himself.

This time he came, maybe he just wanted to find out who will be the future heir to the Prime Minister's Mansion!

Mu Jinfeng felt suffocated at the thought that his former playmate would ignore him or even despise him from now on.

Aren't heirs supposed to hang out with heirs?

It was, and it is now.

Mu Jinbai was a little distressed. He knew the prince of Jingyang Marquis's Mansion, but that guy was too arrogant, so he had never met the prince Gu before.

Mu Jinbai felt a headache when he thought about meeting someone with a cold face tomorrow.

Mu Jinxi had never seen the prince, but only heard of him in rumors. It was said that he was familiar with the Four Books at a young age and could recite them word for word.

He is also handsome, and is always surrounded by people who want to make friends with him.

Although there have been rumors that he always has a sour face and ignores people, these are just rumors and should not be taken seriously.

Xu Jingshu thought that the prince of Jingyang Marquis's Mansion was exactly thirteen years old this year, and was about the same age as her Xier. If she could not marry the prince, then the prince would also be very good.

Let Xier and Master Gu meet tomorrow.

Her daughter Xier was named Princess Chaoyang by the Emperor, and she is a perfect match for Prince Gu.

correct!

She had to buy some new clothes for Xier so that she would look more decent.

Naturally, the three sons in front of her also needed some new clothes, but it was too late to make them now.

"Yu Luo, go buy some clothes for the young masters and young ladies."

Mu Wenyu didn't know yet that the prince of Jingyang Marquis's mansion would come to visit tomorrow, and was still wondering to whom this child would inherit.

He knew that the child was swapped, so...

The successor of Xu Jingshu?

Indeed, Xu Jingshu was born in a general's mansion. She was not good at studying and only knew how to wield swords and sticks.

But Mu Lianxue's thin body doesn't seem like she inherited Xu Jingshu's talent?

Could it be that I didn’t inherit anything?

Mu Wenyu didn't know what to do with Mu Lianxue for a moment.

Forget it, with several masters teaching together, I will eventually learn it.

Teach etiquette first, he really can't stand it anymore.

He left Mu Lianxue alone and after leaving the study, he happened to run into Lin Xueruo who was holding a plate of pastries.

She looked at her husband with surprise, his expression was a little irritated. You know, her husband usually doesn't show obvious emotions, so what happened?

When Lin Xueruo thought of Mu Lianxue, who had just left with her husband and was now nowhere to be seen, she immediately understood who the culprit was.

But she couldn't figure out what Mu Lianxue had done to make her husband leave her alone.

"My dear, come and try the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made!"

Lin Xueruo pretended to be unaware and approached, looking at Mu Wenyu expectantly with her clear eyes.

Mu Wenyu paused, looking into Xue Niang's eyes, he suddenly felt that he shouldn't be angry because of that child.

Anyway, he has more than one daughter.

The corners of his lips curved up, and his mood calmed down, "Okay."

As long as he didn't have any expectations of her, he wouldn't be angry.

Mu Lianxue was still smearing ink on the paper at this time. Sometimes she applied too much ink, sometimes too little, and the ink was gone before she finished writing a single word.

She impatiently tore up the scribbled paper.

She didn't trust anyone, so the poems in her mind could only come out of her pen.

But writing with a brush was too difficult for her.

You can only practice slowly.

Shen Qiu left the young lady and continued to go to the concubine's mansion. Now he was asking the little beggar nearby for information about this family.

Of course you have to pay.

Although Shen Qiu had his face covered and did not look like a good person, the little beggar thought he was a good person because he gave him money.

He asked Shen Qiu to wait there first while he went to ask other beggars. He only took half of the money and ran away.

Shen Qiu was not afraid that the little beggar was deceiving him. After all, the money he gave to the beggar was not much for him, and the information he wanted was not difficult to obtain.

Sure enough, not long after, the familiar little beggar came back again.

He looked at Shen Qiu in surprise. When the people he had met before saw him running away, they would chase after him while scolding him.

How could this person trust him so much?

Because this man was so stupid, he told him all the information he had heard.

"I asked about this family and they seemed to be quite wealthy, but there were only a mother and daughter living there, and they hired some servants to do the work."

"Anyway, the beggars nearby have never seen a male owner appear, so I guess this mother and daughter are the woman and child kept by a certain official."

"Where else do they get the money? We have never seen them working."

"They moved here ten years ago. At that time, the woman was the only one living here. She was pregnant and she was not wearing any clothes, which showed that her husband had not just died."

"Oh, just now, the servants of that family suddenly went to find a master to teach etiquette."

Shen Qiu listened with shock on his face. How did this little beggar guess that this family had a mistress?

Shen Qiu finally witnessed the beggar's intelligence ability and gave him the remaining money with satisfaction.

He also stuffed some extra money into the bag and said, "Little brother, can you help me keep an eye on this family?"

"Okay!" The little beggar stared at the money and nodded quickly in agreement.
