Chapter 61: Misfortune
"Miss, where are you going?"
Yu Jin put on a silver coat for Mu Tianxiang and asked curiously.
Mu Tianxiang turned his head and glanced at Yu Jin, his eyes just swept over the green bamboo that silently helped Yu Jin arrange his collar, and said in his heart, when can this Yu Jin be the same as Lu Zhu, just do things without saying good?
But then I thought about it, if the two of them were as boring as Luzhu, I was afraid she would be bored to the point of depression.
"I'm going to find Uncle Jiang for some business, you two are optimistic about the yard, don't let outsiders in. Tugging the hem of her clothes, Mu Tianxiang opened her mouth to reply to her, but she didn't expect Yu Jin to immediately purse her lips and muttered reluctantly: "Miss has something to say, let me go and invite Uncle Jiang over, Miss hasn't rested yet, and it must be very tiring to go out again." β
"Yujin girl, Miss has her own plans, how can you be a little girl to question it. Just when Yujin whispered, Mama Zhou pushed the door in, and said angrily: "Besides, now our yard is full of women, although Uncle Jiang is a housekeeper, but in the end he is also a man, but he goes in and out of the young lady's yard all day long, and Yu Li doesn't know if he is in harmony!"
Yu Jin doesn't want to be like Mama Zhou, she thinks about a lot of things, she just thinks that a slave is a slave, how can she let the young lady go to see it in person, and her young lady was not only frightened during the day yesterday, but also tossed a night to put out the fire, and before she had time to rest, she had to go out again, how could her body bear it?
Yu Jin was unhappy, but Mu Tianxiang smiled.
My mother found such a caring little girl for her and thought about herself wholeheartedly, she was really lucky.
"Okay, Mama Zhou, don't complain about Yujin, you are good for me, she is also good for me, Tianxiang is grateful. Zhou really had something important to discuss with Uncle Jiang this time, so I left first. β
Mu Tianxiang comforted the two of them with words, and wanted to go out.
"Then let the old body accompany the young lady, if you go alone, the old body is not at ease, let these two girls follow. The old body is even more worried. Mama Zhou glanced at Yujin and Luzhu with disdain, and turned back to Mu Tianxiang.
Her words immediately made Yu Jin unhappy, and she shook Mama Zhou's arm aggrievedly, and asked endlessly: "Mama Zhou, how can Yu Jin make you feel uneasy, people are very serious and take care of Miss!"
Mama Zhou didn't want to answer her, so she smiled and let her flick her sleeves, turned around and tied a hairpin on Mu Tianxiang's head, and finally sighed: "If you have the quiet of a green bamboo girl." I'm a little relieved!"
"Roar, I understand, it turns out that Mama Zhou thinks I'm arguing. As soon as Yu Jin heard Mama Zhou's words, he immediately glanced at the green bamboo standing next to him and smiled lightly, and with a look of enlightenment, he immediately loosened Mama Zhou's sleeves and turned around to fight Luzhu.
"Sister Luzhu, you can't do this in the future. It's too quiet to make people feel bored, and you have to come and amuse everyone from time to time. That way it doesn't look like I'm noisy, okay?"
Yu Jin said to Luzhu seriously.
Everyone was ashamed.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you to talk a lot. Mu Tianxiang patted Yujin's head and ordered: "You two will rest in the courtyard today, I'll let Mama Zhou accompany me, and turn around and lock the courtyard door." Don't let anyone else in. β
Mu Tianxiang knew what Mama Zhou meant, firstly, because she thought that Yujin couldn't hide it, and secondly, she wanted to tell the group of maids and daughters-in-law in SΓΉ Mansion that her eldest grandmother in Mufu was back. is now serving the eldest lady, which means that the current head of the shogunate is her Mu Tianxiang.
Thinking of this reason, Mu Tianxiang suddenly pondered, walked through the corridor, and when he saw that there was no one around, he lowered his head and asked: "Mama Zhou, forgive Tianxiang for being stupid, I want to ask Mama some words, I hope Mama will not be surprised."
"Miss, you just command. Mama Zhou nodded respectfully at her.
Tianxiang asked. Mu Tianxiang spoke: "Although I don't know what to do about this inner courtyard, I still don't want this mansion to go up and down, I really can't afford to mention it, and I give the Mu Mansion to outsiders." β
"The eldest lady still doesn't understand this, according to the old man, it's time to find a time to make rules, otherwise these servants in the house who have no eyesight will really be clumsy and mistaken for the master, but it will be funny. "Mama Zhou mentioned yì to Mu Tianxiang.
Mu Tianxiang nodded, from the death of her mother to the present, it is because she is too casual about this matter that she will be abandoned by some minions, and because her father is a hindrance, she now only has Yujin and Luzhu two girls to serve, those minions, I am afraid that she will really treat her as nothing, and turn their minds to people with foreign surnames.
Remembering what Mama Zhou said about establishing rules in my heart, when I saw Uncle Jiang's eyes, I mentioned it by the way, as for those unknown minions, how to deal with them, anyway, for that kind of bridgehead grass, disloyal minions, keeping it is just a hidden danger that may explode at any time.
"Uncle Jiang, I really can't bother you, it's just that Tianxiang has too many things hidden in his head, if he doesn't deal with them in time, I'm afraid I'll go crazy." β
Sitting on the top seat, Mu Tianxiang took a sip of tea, glanced at Jiang Bo and said lightly.
"Miss, please rest assured, I have found a reliable person to investigate the frightened horses yesterday, and I believe that it will not be long before I can know the truth.
Mu Tianxiang nodded, knowing that this matter could not be rushed for a while, so he opened his mouth and said: "My yard is too small, and those strange things left by my mother are always placed in Master Liu's yard, which is not a good thing, Uncle Jiang, you will send someone to have time to rebuild your mother's yard, just follow the original pattern." β
Jiang Bo nodded and wrote down the matter, then stood aside respectfully, looking at what else Mu Tianxiang had to say.
"Oh, by the way, there is still something in the shop, please reply to Shopkeeper Pei, and call those masters to our house to stay for a while, the matter of sacrificing incense, I'm afraid it won't work if you don't hurry up." β
Mu Tianxiang sighed faintly, out of the shop, one thing she hadn't sorted out until now was that those arsonists were obviously going for those incense utensils, but she didn't know what the purpose was, whether she didn't want her to complete the incense sacrifice, or didn't want the festival to go smoothly?
But no matter what, in the end, it was her and Mu Fu who were the victims.
She didn't want this to happen again in the next few days.
It's just that Mu Tianxiang didn't expect that she thought of preventive measures, but before she could implement them, something happened.
She knew that after more than an hour, she received the news that when Master Zhao's car was traveling, she accidentally fell into the ditch next to the road because she was avoiding passers-by.
The moment Mu Tianxiang heard the news, he immediately woke up, immediately made a carriage, and went to the Zhao Mansion in person.
It's just that there is something that she never expected, that is, when she arrived at Zhao's mansion, she realized that just last night, Zhao Wencheng and Master Xiao Zhao didn't know what they had eaten, and they vomited and diarrhea until they collapsed.
This is also the reason why Zhao Fu knew that the shop was on fire, and he didn't have time to send someone to help fight the fire.
Mu Tianxiang took care of the families of the two Master Zhaos, left a considerable amount of silver taels, and left the Zhao Mansion.
Just when she stepped out of the gate of the Zhao Mansion, she suddenly slapped her head, turned back to Pei Zongze, who came with her, and ordered: "Brother Pei, send someone to Xingchun Hall to invite Doctor Qi to come over and take a look, I always feel that only he can save Master Zhao." β
The doctor that Zhao Fu is using now is the same doctor Tian who treated Mu Tianxiang before, if it were someone else, maybe Mu Tianxiang would not say anything about inviting Dr. Qi again, but she is now 200% uneasy about this Dr. Tian.
It's not because of medical skills, but because of all the things he used to see him in Mufu, which made him feel that this person must be on the same path as the person in the mansion who wanted to harm her.
If Master Zhao's life is entrusted to him, it is very likely that this Master Zhao will die innocently because of her.
Pei Zongze nodded at her, and then said: "Don't think too much, if you don't worry, I will send someone to protect the other two masters, after all, there are still two to help, first implement the matter of sacrificing incense, don't delay." β
Mu Tianxiang nodded: "Then invite the two of you to the mansion, there are secret guards sent by the palace to protect the mansion, there should be no more problems." β
"Secret guard?' Pei Zongze was stunned, although yesterday the Mu Mansion was guarded and protected by officers and soldiers, and Mu Tianxiang thought it was too ostentatious, so he changed his order to withdraw the people, but he didn't expect that there were still secret guards in the Mu Mansion.
"Well, when I went back this morning, I heard that those people had been with me, and when I arrived at the house, I tried it and found out. β
As for what method was used, Mu Tianxiang didn't elaborate, pointed to the alley on the side, and smiled at him, meaning that there were also people who were with her to protect her.
Only then did Pei Zongze understand that now that Mu Tianxiang and Mu Fu were safe, he was a little relieved.
So when he sent Mu Tianxiang back home, he went to the door to invite two perfumers in person according to his address.
When he returned to Mufu, more than an hour had passed, and Mu Tianxiang, who had been sitting still, heard that he had invited someone to come, and immediately got up and went to the door to greet him.
It's just that when she saw Master Zhai behind Pei Zongze, she couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Pei Zongze suspiciously.
"Let's go in and talk about it. Pei Zongze shook his head at her and didn't let her speak.
Mu Tianxiang's face sank, and he immediately invited people into the courtyard, and instructed Uncle Jiang to arrange a place to live, so he looked at Pei Zongze with a surprised face, and asked, "Brother Pei, why didn't Master Zhang come?"
Knowing that something must have happened, Mu Tianxiang was incredulous, but she still tentatively asked.
Pei Zongze's face was not very good, he glanced at Mu Tianxiang and said: "I went late, and when I arrived at Zhang's house, I found out that half an hour ago, a yacha took Xiao Zhang away, on the grounds that he was sued by the former head of the yamen for the crime of deceiving the teacher and stealing the party."
