Chapter 91: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
At the back of the Mu family's garden, there is a dilapidated yard, which has been deserted and uninhabited for many years, and the copper locks that lock the courtyard door have been rusted, and the yard can be vaguely seen overgrown with weeds through the crack in the door.

This is the courtyard where Mu Jin's mother-in-law, Luo, lived back then, which was sealed more than ten years ago and never opened again.
Mu Jin stopped in front of the courtyard gate for a moment, sighed, speaking of which, when Luo Shi died, she was only three years old, and she didn't remember things very well, but vaguely remembered that in Luo Shi's last years, she always gently held her in her arms, saying sorry over and over again, saying that I brought you into this world, but I can't grow up with you.
Every time he said this, Roche's expression was always extremely complicated, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Mu Jin had the impression that Luo should be a good mother, but in the Mu family, there was no yard left by Luo, and this yard had already been blocked.
Mu Jin never thought of going into the courtyard to have a look, because deep down in her heart, she always felt that the Luo family should be the same as her, she didn't want to live in the Mu family, and she didn't want to have the slightest involvement with the Mu family.
This courtyard no longer has the slightest breath left by Luo, it is just a deserted and abandoned courtyard.
"Lady, there is a jade building in the northwest corner, it is already outside the garden, it has always been sparsely populated, where can the lady go to read the book, if it is to be held, it is good to enter the garden directly from where. Ruolan saw that Mu Jin was stagnant and proposed.
Mu Jin thought about it, and seemed to have some impressions, she seemed to be in the direction of the Shuyu Building when she got lost a few days ago, and she had also flown to the roof of the Shuyu Building to see the direction.
.......………
Mu Qingfeng accompanied Zhou Yi for a walk in the garden, and both of them were a little absent-minded.
Zhou Yi has always only liked plum blossoms, and he can't put down the little lady like plum blossoms, but he really can't be interested in chrysanthemums.
Seeing that most of the garden was also visited, Zhou Yi looked around in the garden, but found a graceful figure flashing by in the corridor.
Zhou Yi's sharp eyes saw the corners of his clothes embroidered with plum blossoms, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
After looking in that direction for a moment, I could vaguely see a pointed eaves in the shade of flowers and trees.
"What kind of place is over there? Surrounded by flowers, it has quite a beautiful scenery. Zhou Yi casually pointed in the direction of the northwest corner.
Mu Qingfeng raised his head to identify it, and a light flashed in his eyes, "Over there is a small gate in the garden, where the minister has placed a smaller rockery and built a jade building." ”
Zhou Yi nodded and said nothing.
Mu Qingfeng looked at his expression and carefully proposed: "Where has it always been quiet, why don't you accompany His Highness to rest for a while?"
Zhou Yi thought for a while and waved his hand, "Uncle Changping doesn't have to accompany me all the time, there are many guests today, you just go and entertain, and I will walk around for a while." ”
With that, he walked forward with the attendant who had come with him.
Mu Qingfeng stood in place for a moment, carefully observing the direction of the prince's departure, and the corners of his mouth curled.
Shuyulou is a small building sitting on the second floor, the first floor is through the hall, there are four independent bedrooms on the second floor, which can be used for people who are tired of playing in the garden to take a rest, there is a platform extending outward outside the window of each bedroom, you can drink tea and read books on the platform, the rockery at the door is hidden, you can't see the people upstairs in the garden at all, but the people upstairs can vaguely see the scene in the garden.
Mu Jin knew that this was the design of the Luo family back then, but after the Wang family took charge, he abandoned this building and sat in a small building at the main entrance of the exit of the garden.
There are very few people who come to this jade building, just because it is at the corner gate of the garden, it is not easy to be deserted, and the Wang family only sends people to sprinkle and sweep it regularly.
"Lady, you go upstairs to the platform to read, the slave is waiting for you downstairs, if someone comes, the slave will go up and inform you. Ruolan said softly.
Mu Jin withdrew his gaze from looking at Shuyulou, nodded, and went straight to the second floor.
Casually pushing open the door of a room, Mu Jin walked in, and saw that although the room was poorly furnished, it was very clean, probably because there were guests today, Mrs. Wang specially sent someone to clean it, a couch and a table, a few chairs, and the fragrance lingered.
Mu Jin's eyes turned to the delicate and small incense burner burning on the table, and his brows frowned slightly.
After staring at the incense burner for a while, Mu Jin walked to the window and opened the window, and looked downstairs, Ruolan was still standing quietly downstairs.
………………
In less than a cup of tea, a delicate figure walked into the Yuyu Building, Ruolan stepped forward and stopped, "Second lady, third lady is reading upstairs, do you want to change places to rest for a while?"
The person who came was wearing a colorful thousand-colored silk yarn plum blossom skirt, which was Mu Yun.
Seeing Ruolan blocking in front of him, Mu Yun frowned, stepped forward and gave Ruolan a slap.
", are you the one on the card, and you dare to stop me?
Ruolan might as well Mu Yun suddenly made a move, Mu Yun made a big effort again, and half of Ruolan's face was swollen in an instant, and the five finger prints were very obvious.
Ruolan bit her lip aggrievedly, and tears fell.
Mu Yun glanced at Ruolan with disdain, and proudly raised his head to the second floor.
Ruolan downstairs stomped her feet, covered her face and ran away.
After a while, another man came out of the corner door, stopped downstairs for a while, and Shi Shiran went upstairs.
Soon after the man went up, another tall man came, and the man looked left and right, and walked straight to the Yulou.
Soyu's downstairs finally quieted down.
The rockery opposite the Yuyu Building is one and a half stories high, and a half-human-high stone stands on the top of the rockery, which is overgrown with vines.
At this moment, the vine Luo showed her head, then stretched out an arm, and moved her arm, Song Yanzhao couldn't help but sigh: "There shouldn't be any more people, right?"
Downstairs, there was another sound of footsteps and talking.
Wouldn't it, there are still people? Song Yanzhao looked down in astonishment.
Mu Yu stood downstairs in Shuyu, his face was a little unsightly, "You said that Madame asked me to check the layout inside?"
Han Liu smiled and bent over, "Well, Madam said that there are too many distinguished guests today, and I am afraid that if a guest makes a mistake, it will not be good to come here to rest, and it will not be good to neglect the guests." ”
Mu Yu's face turned a little pale, and she was very worried, could it be that her mother found out about some of her arrangements?
At this time, Mu Jin's dead girl should be upstairs, right?
Mu Yu thought about it, turned his head and instructed Han Liu, "You go back to your mother, I'll go in and check, and after the inspection, I will go directly to the garden to welcome the little ladies into the table." ”
Seeing that his task was accomplished, Han Liu bowed and withdrew.
Mu Yu lingered downstairs for a moment before entering the Shuyu Building.
When Mu Yan followed Mu Yu to the bottom of Shuyu, Song Yanzhao, who was squatting on the rockery, almost couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
"Flutter. There was a sneer from the side.
Song Yanzhao turned his head and suddenly crashed into a pair of dark and bright eyes.
"It seems that this Shuyulou is a good place, there is a big excitement to see!"
