”That's right, I've heard that many of the roofs of the people outside the capital have collapsed. The Ministry of Revenue is being blocked by officials every day, and they're trying to pull out the money for a disaster.”
Mu Rousang replied as she pulled out the copper fire pincer to remove the Matriarch Yang's smoke cage.
”Grandmother, do you have enough silver carbon here?”
The Matriarch Yang said happily: ”It's enough. Sigh, only we were born in a wealthy family, so we can't suffer such hardships. How about we set up the porridge house earlier this year?”
In the past, he would set up a shed at the end of the month and continue to make porridge all the way until the fifteenth day of the first month.
This is already a common practice. Mu Rousang agreed without thinking, ”Alright then, I will inform Zi Xuan about this matter later. I'll have him send a few people to handle it.”
”I called you here today because I have something important to say.”
The Matriarch Yang indicated for his to smell the fragrance of it before he put on his reading glasses. Only then did Mu Rousang realise that there was a small book on the table beside her.
What was he trying to do? Mu Rousang suspiciously scanned through before obediently lowering his head to drink his tea.
”The Prince has arranged for Xuan'er to work in the Ministry of Revenue. That department is the fattest yamen of the six divisions, and Xuan'er will probably have a lot of social benefits. That's why I allowed you to move out and open your residences.”
Mu Rousang answered: ”Grandmother, Sun's daughter-in-law will come to pay respects to you everyday.”
”You're finally done. Once you have opened the house, you will be Owner Mother, and will have to meddle in trivial matters all day, no matter where you have free time. When you have time, come over and take a look at me, this old woman.”
Although Matriarch Yang said this,he felt very satisfied in his heart. Looking at her old face filled with wrinkles from laughing, she knew it.
”Sun's daughter-in-law has remembered it, it's only a little more than a month from the new year. Sun's daughter-in-law is afraid that Grandmother might not be able to make it in time, how about I come in the afternoon to help Grandmother with some family matters?”
Mu Rousang acted this way purely out of filial piety towards the authority of the Matriarch Yang.
”Sigh, after marrying a few wives and accepting a few Sun's daughter-in-law s, each and every one of them became different.” Matriarch Yang could not help but sigh.
Mu Rousang found it hard to continue speaking. After Su Waner abandoned her family and returned home, she heard that life was not going well for him. His mother's family name was spread far and wide because of her, causing the unmarried girls to not be able to talk about marriage.
Furthermore, there was no need to talk about Princess Chung, she heard that her condition had worsened again in the past few days, and said that she couldn't even get out of bed, she reckoned that Matriarch Yang would probably not let her live too happily.
Look, on this namelist, I, Han Xiang and the others, have secretly asked around before writing. They are all girls from innocent families, or direct daughter s from other families.
Matriarch Yang passed the booklet on his hand to Mu Rousang!
She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, Mu Rousang who was in the midst of blossoming was feeling very uncomfortable with the sudden change in status.
”Grandmother said that Sun's daughter-in-law would definitely send someone to settle this matter and pick a good wife for brother.”
Matriarch Yang waved his hand and said, ”What character does your big brother have? ”We can't ruin the daughter of someone who has an official title.”
They were afraid that Yang Zizhi would fight with his wife again in the future. When the time came, without Princess Chung suppressing him, he would be old, and would not have the strength to suppress them anymore.
”Sun's daughter-in-law will definitely do this job diligently.”
Mu Rousang thought about it clearly. It was okay for her to come to the mansion to help everyday, but she couldn't help her eldest uncle out. It's not a nice thing to say.
”Come over and look at me when you're free!” Your Eldest Aunt, Third Aunt, and I have been separated from the people of this house. Ever since we split up, it has been very rare for any of them to visit. ”
The Matriarch Yang indicated for Han Xiang to bring out a small box and sent everyone out.
He stretched out his hand to touch the small red-faced golden embroidered peony box. He could tell that this box was quite old. The material inside was probably something that would only be found a few decades ago.
”This old woman finally got a good look at them. Just because my family is so small, they already think that I don't have much money left.”
Mu Rousang's heart skipped a beat. That's right, that day, the division was divided into the businesses of the Yang family, then what about the Grand Matriarch's private property? How many, and what, who knows?

”I only had two sons, Jun Hua and Jun Hui. However, neither of my wives were willing to marry me. I never thought that Xuan'er would have a good wife of her own.”
After saying that, the Matriarch Yang looked at her meaningfully, then continued, ”The amount of assets you and Zi Xuan have in hand is already quite a lot, even if I gave all of you these little things, they would only add to your wealth, but if I were to leave them to your big brother, I'm afraid that he would lose.”
The Matriarch Yang's dowry would be given to Yang Junhua and Yang Junhui in the future. Now that she took it out, it should belong to Yang Junhua.
”Grandmother, you still have to ask Father first.”
Mu Rousang was not greedy for the things in her hands, she was still worrying about the mountain of pearls in the space! In order to digest those things, she had sent a lot of pearls to her relatives and friends, so much so that everyone thought that she only liked elegant jade and pearls!
What a beautiful misunderstanding!
In fact, she, Mu Rousang, was just a normal person.
Mu Rousang accompanied Matriarch Yang for a while longer. After all, Matriarch Yang was worried about Yang Zizhi's marriage, with his reputation, Princess Chung was the one who lied to the Su Family when they came to the capital, and because the Su Family coveted the Yang Family's prosperity, the two families matched up immediately, and that was how Su Waner married Yang Zizhi.
Then, on the eighth day of November, it was time to move and settle down!
Mu Rousang flipped through her old books and picked this auspicious day. On this day, Yang Zixuan also went on leave, and busied himself with helping his family. Actually, it was a busy day, as the couple went to the new residence early, they busied themselves with receiving the couple who were congratulating Qiao Qiao on moving.
