Chapter 13 Xiuzhutang
Mu Zhiyan is already twelve years old, and girls who have not yet decided to marry at this age will always be said to have something unknown to everyone, so Mrs. Mu is really anxious, and she gives Mu Zhiyan a family affair with great fanfare. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but it is also limited to Fengyang, if it is not for the Xia family's affairs, relying on the momentum of the Mu family and the status of Master Mu, you can find a good family in the capital. Mrs. Mu really can't understand her granddaughter's temperament, she is really a weird person when she says she is steady but can break up her family affairs, and she is reckless and cautious in her words and deeds.
Several girls played in the bamboo forest for a while before they dispersed today's tea party, because in addition to Mu Zhiyue and Mu Jingyun who lived in Fangxie Courtyard, and Mu Zhiyan who lived in the main courtyard, the other girls lived in the East Garden, so only the three of them said goodbye and left.
Out of the East Garden, the maid beside Aunt Yan walked over, Mu Zhiyue's eyebrows were almost undetectably wrinkled, she was now very sensitive to the contact between Aunt Yan and Mu Jingyun, as long as the two of them came into contact with her, she had a feeling of a cool breeze behind her.
Mu Jingyun and the maid whispered a few words next to them and then came over to say goodbye, "Second sister, sixth sister, my aunt seems to have broken something, I'll take a step ahead to take a look, I'm sorry" and then Fu Yili took his maid and left
Mu Zhiyue quietly gave Su'er a color, Su'er was lively, and immediately understood what the girl meant, but it was the first time that the girl had the intention of spying on Aunt Yan's mother and daughter, Su'er couldn't help but be a little excited, quietly half a step behind everyone, and turned around and walked away from the corridor on the other side.
None of this escaped Mu Zhiyan's eyes, and Mu Zhiyue didn't want to hide it from her, if there was no means in this inner house, how could she go further, she believed that Mu Zhiyan also understood, otherwise she wouldn't have reminded herself of Aunt Yan last time.
Mu Zhiyue didn't go back to Fangxiyuan immediately, but went to Xiuzhutang, as if only there could she really calm down and think about the problem.
Today, I feel a little chaotic inexplicably, I have been back home for several days, but I can't do it, I can't do what I want to do, and I think everything is too simple.
After the rain, Xiuzhutang has a unique flavor, the air is full of the fragrance of magnolia flowers, and occasionally there are residual raindrops dripping from the wide leaves, and the mind seems to be rendered by this unbridled refreshment.
Mu Zhiyue exhaled a long breath, sucked it back hard, and looked at the Xiuzhutang after the rain. These magnolia trees face the corridor on the east side of the main entrance, the corridor extends to the north, and then there is a row of inverted seats and a hanging flower door, and I have come to Xiuzhutang so many times that it seems that I have never been to the courtyard inside.
My brother should be studying with Master You at this time, and there is nothing to do when he goes back to Fangxi Courtyard, so it is better to visit this Xiuzhu Hall.
Mu Zhiyue, who had made up her mind, asked a little maid who followed her to see if the weeping flower door was locked, Ling Yan looked at the closed courtyard door and asked, "Does the girl want to go in and take a look?" This Xiuzhutang has been abandoned for a long time, and someone can only clean it once a month, I'm afraid it will dirty the girl's clothes."
Mu Zhiyue, who was full of curiosity, said happily, "It's okay", and saw the little maid who checked the door lock shaking her hand and gently pushed open the door, which was unlocked.
Mu Zhiyue lifted the hem of her skirt and walked forward, and said, "I'll go and see, let's go." Lingyan, who followed behind, and another little maid walked together with her to the courtyard she entered.
Walking in, you will see two old ginkgo trees, tall and dense branches, which can grow so strong without special care, and you can see the tenacity of vitality.
Looking further inward, it is not unsurprising that the three main rooms and the wings on both sides are connected by two hand-copying verandahs, which are standard interior house layout. Because it is uninhabited, there is no greenery in the courtyard except for the two trees at the entrance.
The first interest was gone, Mu Zhiyue stood under a tree at the door and pulled the branches boredly, did not go in again, and there was no need to go in at a glance.
Ling Yan sighed on the side: "This is too deserted, fortunately, there are no weeds in the yard, and it is not deserted."
Mu Zhiyue lost interest and said listlessly: "Go back."
But at the moment of turning around, her footsteps suddenly stopped, and she turned her head sharply in the direction where the verandah and the main room met on one side, and shouted softly: "Who is it?"
The maids who followed beside him were all startled, and looked in the direction that Mu Zhiyue was looking at, the green bricks and tiles, the pillars were straight, and they didn't see any difference.
Ling Yan stepped in front of Mu Zhiyue and asked in a low voice, "What did the girl see?"
Mu Zhiyue frowned suspiciously, the moment she just turned around, she clearly saw a soap-colored figure flashing from the depths of the verandah, looking at the few little girls following behind her, she decided not to risk probing.
Then he shook his head and said, "It's me who is dazzled, let's go", and took the lead out of the hospital.
Ling Yan cautiously glanced back again, cautiously chased Mu Zhiyue away, and did not forget to tell the little maid to close the door after going out.
Mu Zhiyue returned to Fangxi Courtyard full of concern, she was sure that she was not dazzled, but she was a little girl who did not dare to delve into the reason.
I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, since I can appear in that idle yard and still hide in the dark, there must be something that can't be known, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, although she is not a gentleman, but she really dare not and cannot take risks when she is not sure.
As soon as she sat down in Fangxie Courtyard, she lifted the curtain and came in, she looked at the little maid who was tidying up the toiletries on the side, and said in a deep voice, "You all go down, I'll serve the young lady."
Although Su'er is only ten years old, the love of growing up with the girl since she was a child is different, and she will inadvertently reveal a trace of majesty after being a big girl for a long time, of course, this is only for those little girls.
Lingyan was twisting the handkerchief, knowing that Su'er had something to say to the girl, so she put down the half-twisted handkerchief and raised her feet to go out.
When Mu Zhiyue saw it, she said loudly: "Lingyan stays", these two maids were born and died with her in their previous lives, so she was naturally relieved.
Ling Yan heard a grateful curtsy bow to Mu Zhiyue, and she knew that this was the girl's trust in herself. The girl has always been an indifferent character, and she treats the people in the yard equally, and she can't see which one is more affectionate.
But today, Miss's actions clearly show her trust and importance to herself, which has to make her grateful, and she is more determined to serve her own Miss with all her heart.
Mu Zhiyue didn't know that she had easily captured a loyal heart with an unexpected move, so she just knew how to make good use of it, and she was relieved to entrust her knowing the temperament of Su'er and Lingyan.
Since you want to protect the Mu family and earn a good future for yourself, the people around you must use it.
A few people around her, Su'er has a lively temperament, Lingyan is steady and serious, as for Bai Lu, although all the big and small matters around her are now in charge of her, but her loyalty remains to be seen.
And Mu Zhiyue has a lot to do, and only these few people are not enough, so in the next step, she has to cultivate more of her own power. For now, let's start with the people around you.
Su'er usually has a good relationship with Lingyan, so when she saw that Miss left her behind, she didn't have any fear, and walked to Mu Zhiyue's side and whispered, "Miss, Aunt Yan has a body."
Mu Zhiyue had already heard Mu Zhiyan say this, so she was not surprised, but the people around her were far away at that time, and Mu Zhiyue didn't tell them later.
Seeing that her young lady was not shocked, she couldn't figure out if she didn't care or if she already knew it, and continued: "Just now the master came back to the yard and was invited by Aunt Yan, and Aunt Yan fainted not long after the master went in."
