Chapter 4 Mr. Mou's Children Are Full of Children

Seeing this, Mu Bin felt relieved, hummed with a stern face, and ordered,
"Dinner!"

Several aunts standing on the side hurriedly stepped forward. The first aunt and the second aunt first served two bowls of clear porridge for Mou Bin and Liu respectively, and then served or served to the young masters and ladies below in order of age. It was porridge or noodle soup, etc., and it was only the turn of Master Mou Ba. Fifth Aunt served a bowl of freshly steamed rice early in the morning, and then put two small bowls, one bowl was translucent red, the color of agate Dongpo There is also a bowl of roasted chicken drumsticks in honey sauce. There is a big fat drumstick inside. The grilled skin is crispy and the meat is tender. As soon as it is put on it, Master Mou Ba stares straight at him!
He was not polite, he grabbed the chicken leg and gnawed it. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious in the mouth, and he tore off a large piece of meat in one bite, which greatly benefited Master Mou Ba who had eaten the fish soup for several days. After five times and two, one chicken leg disappeared, and it was replaced with the fat and thin Dongpo meat. Everyone at the table looked as usual when they saw it, and they seemed to be familiar with it. laughed,

"It seems that the child is in good health, and the meat still tastes so delicious!"

The Eighth Young Master in Mou's Mansion has a good appetite since he was a child. Since he was prescribed meat when he was young, he has had to eat meat every day. He has to eat meat even early in the morning. People have long been used to him like this, he was beaten a few days ago and didn't come to eat together, and everyone didn't see Lao Ba eating meat, it seemed that something was missing, even the food was not delicious!
Everyone nodded when they heard it. The second sister, Mou Xiujuan, is a descendant of the Liu family. She is always bold in front of her parents, so she answered with a smile,
"Watching Lao Ba eat meat is delicious... I eat better with him in front of me!"

As he spoke, he raised the porridge bowl that was only half the size of a palm in his hand, and said to the people behind him,

"Auntie please give me another bowl!"

Aunt Gong hurriedly laughed and said,
"Okay, give Second Miss some more!"

This room served a bowl for Mou Xiujuan, and then asked the young lady at the side,
"Miss, do you still want to use it?"

Mou Xiumei nodded and said softly,

"Please trouble Auntie!"'

Auntie smiled until the crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes.

"This is a matter of concubine status, you don't have to be polite, Miss!"

This eldest lady was born by herself, so she naturally wished that the child would use more!
The aunt was a girl brought by Mou Bin's family in the early years. After Mou Bin married the Liu family, she was raised as an aunt. After the mistress gave birth to the eldest son and the second son, she also became pregnant. Make things difficult for her, let her give birth to the child smoothly, and only then did she have a concubine eldest lady.

At this time, Mrs. Liu said to Mou Xiujuan with a smile,

"You are happy to see your brother, and you have to watch more. After half a month, you will be married. It will not be so cheap to see your brother in the future!"

Mou Bin is nearly forty years old, he is in the prime of his life, he has one wife and six concubines, but he works hard and has many children. The eldest daughter, Mou Xiumei, was only one month older than the second daughter, Mou Xiujuan, born to the first wife Liu, and the third daughter, born to the second concubine, was only two months younger than Mou Xiujuan. Fifth Miss, Second Aunt gave birth to Fourth Miss. After all, there are more wives and concubines, and the girls here are jumping out one by one, and Commander Mou can afford to support them, so they enjoy it.

In this way, the young ladies of the Mou family are about the same age, so they have all reached the age of marriage one after another. Ordinarily, Mou Xiujuan is ranked second, so she should not be the first daughter to marry in the family. Mou Bin felt sorry for her, so she wanted to keep her for two more years, and then choose a better family for her eldest daughter. Therefore, Mou Xiujuan first made an appointment for marriage, and prepared for a few months. She is going to get married after the new year!

Speaking of her marriage, Mou Xiujuan blushed immediately and said angrily,

"Mother, even if my daughter is married, she still has to come home from time to time!"

Liu smiled and said,
"It's good that you want to come back, just remember to bring my uncle back with you!"

As soon as she said this, Mou Xiujuan's face turned even redder, and everyone laughed when they saw it. Only Young Master Mou Ba, who was eating his food, slid a pair of big black eyes at the aunt and elder sister. His face swept across, and the two of them also smiled, but the smiles were a bit forced.

Mou Biao sighed inwardly, and muttered secretly,

"Everyone says that if you don't stay in a female university, if you stay or stay, you will become enemies!"

He knew about the future of the eldest sister. After the second sister got married, distant relatives came to the family, and they lived in the backyard in the capital for the exam, so there was the old drama in the drama. The eldest sister hated her marriage. , met a man with a seven-point appearance and a three-point talent, so he fell in. After that, the auntie begged the mother for a long time, but the mother finally let go and married the eldest sister to the boy.

The two had been in love for a few years after they got married. The boy relied on his father, and after the imperial examination, he found a job in the capital. Once he gained a foothold, he started to move forward, and took three concubines to his house. The eldest sister was originally in poor health and not big-hearted, she was so angry that she fell ill, and then she went away after a few years, but she didn't even have a son and a half daughter left behind!

Someone said, how could the daughter of the family be angered by Jin Yiwei's reputation of scaring the court, and Mou Bin didn't take action to punish the eldest son-in-law?

In fact, this is not the case. Firstly, Mou Bin is an upright person and disdains to do things that use power to oppress others. Second, in his opinion, it is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. He himself has one wife and six concubines. The son-in-law takes a concubine, the eldest son-in-law is the only son in the family, and it is human ethics to spread branches and leaves. No matter how domineering Jin Yiwei is, it will not make people sleep with women and have children!

After all, the eldest daughter of my own family is too small-minded, so she can think more openly. Although she is a concubine, she is still the daughter of the Mou family. If she has nothing to do, let a man carry one room after another into the door , this seat in the main room is always hers, and she holds the children born to the first few concubines to her knees, and when she gets old, she will still be enshrined by her sons. Don't they dare to be negligent?
Commander Mou thought so, and Mou Biao and other brothers also thought so, so although it was annoyed, it was up to Mou Biao to take the lead and join hands with the brothers to beat up his eldest brother-in-law, that's all!

Everyone has gone, what else?

After that, Mou Biao often regretted it,
"If I had been a matchmaker for Big Sister earlier, and I hadn't met that kid, maybe she wouldn't have died so early!"

Now when he was ten years old, when he heard about his second sister's marriage at the dinner table today, he remembered it, turned his head and glanced at the fifth aunt standing behind him, the fifth aunt would be wrong I mean, when my son wanted extra food, he hurriedly asked,

"Master Eighth, do you need some more?"

Mou Biao didn't want to say much, so he gave her the bowl in his hand and muttered in his heart,

"The fifth aunt's natal family is from the capital. I heard that my uncle is still an official, so he might be able to find a good marriage for my eldest sister!"

Someone said, is Young Master Mou Ba looking down on his elder sister who is born from a concubine? Why does he want his concubine, who is an aunt, to find her natal family's relatives and matchmaking for the elder lady?

In fact, Commander Mou is a bit patriarchal. In his heart, sons are the heirs of the family, daughters are to be married off, and he has always respected the rules. The male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside. Sons are taught by their fathers. The daughters are under the control of the mother, so the marriage of the daughters in the family is naturally decided by the main wife, Mrs. Liu!

Moreover, Mou Bin's family background was not very noble, his ancestors were only from military households, and later he married the Liu family. When they first got married, the family was also in a difficult situation. Thanks to the help of the Yue family, he is what he is today. Therefore, Mou Bin treats the Liu family extremely Respect, never meddle in the affairs of the backyard, as long as Mrs. Liu doesn't nod to her daughters' marriage, Mou Bin will not talk too much.

And although Mrs. Liu is a virtuous woman, she doesn't care as much about her concubine's children as she does her own children. She gave birth to the eldest son Mou Wen, the second son Mou Liang, the second daughter Mou Xiujuan, and the fifth daughter Mou Xiulan. She disciplines the children strictly, and dare not neglect them. Although the rest of the children in the family are not bad in food and clothing, they never care about the rules and knowledge. Just close your eyes!
To put it bluntly, the concubines cannot be allowed to pass over the concubines, so the marriage of the concubine's children is naturally not as high-profile as the engagement to the biological one, and the family is almost done!
If not, since both Mou Bin and the Liu family are very disciplined people, how could someone hook up the second lady in the residence of the Commander of Jin Yiwei?

even……

Mou Biao didn't understand when he was young. After he grew up and lived alone in the government, he recalled the things when he was young because of certain things, and then he suspected that his wife, Mrs. Liu, connived on purpose, which made the big sister end up like that...

But... Mrs. Liu is famous for her virtuous conduct, she has always been impeccable in her work, and occupies Dali. Like this time, she wants to keep her eldest sister for two more years. It is Mrs. Liu who speaks to Mou Bin.

"This woman's childbirth is a life-and-death test. The eldest sister is in poor health. It is harming her to marry early. It is for her good to keep her for two more years!"

Mrs. Liu persuaded Mou Bin, and Mou Bin also felt that it was reasonable, so he naturally nodded in agreement. Afterwards, Mou Xiumei's heart sprouted and she clamored to get married, but she couldn't blame Liu Shi at all.

In this way, no one in the mansion suspects Mrs. Liu, even Mou Bin has never doubted it!

Now Mou Biao is aware of the funeral, after all, it is not good for her elder sister to let her entrust her life to others in such a vague way, but it is not good for her to jump in front of her father and tell the truth, so she Hit the idea on the mother,
"Aunt Zuoyou is favored, and when she finds a good family, let her blow the wind by Daddy's pillow, and it will happen!"

He was making up his mind, but he didn't stay idle, and ate two more bowls in one go, then threw away the bowls and chopsticks, and said to Mou Bin,
"Father, when do you go to the yamen, you can delay for a while, the son has something important to talk to dad!"

Mou Bin looked amused by the serious look on his chubby face, but he didn't show anything on his face, and replied with a straight face,
"You don't do business all day long, what important things will you talk to me about?"

Mou Biao replied,

"My son is really serious!"
