Chapter 285: Entering the Mansion

The team of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, who had just arrived, was rushing to the bow of the boat in unison, when they suddenly saw the group of black-clothed men jumping into the water at a lightning speed.

The leader is Lu Dongjun, the deputy commander of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division, who can be regarded as Mu Chenqian's "acquaintance".

He is Cao Bosen's uncle, and the little girl who pounced on Mu Chenqian in Huaiyuanbo's Mansion that day was the daughter of this Lu Dongjun.

Seeing that seven or eight black-clothed men jumped into the water, Lu Dongjun immediately ordered his soldiers who knew how to go into the water to arrest them, and sent people to rush upstream and downstream to intercept them along the road.

Mu Chenqian was a little worried about those black-clothed people at the moment, but at the moment, he couldn't stay in this place for a long time, so he sneaked out of a gap that no one noticed.

Besides, Mu Zhiyue was here, and with Mu Chenqian's guidance, he found the place where there were few people, so he was not dispersed by the chaotic crowd.

A heart is seven up and down, and the lobby brother does not retreat but runs towards the ship, but there is nothing to do.

Chen was even more worried than her, and was already reciting Buddhist scriptures there with his hands folded.

Their location was not far from the river, but far from the port just now, and on both sides were neatly stacked cages, and several of them were hidden in the layers of cages.

After a long time, Mu Zhiyue heard a loud tapping sound from far and near, and when she looked over, she saw a team of 100 soldiers heading towards the dock.

After recognizing that it was the costume of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, he was slightly relieved, since there were officers and soldiers coming, this battle should end soon.

The rioting crowd gradually dispersed, and Chen finally stopped chanting, and looked in the direction of the pier with palpitations, and saw Mu Chenqian coming from a distance before putting down his heart.

Mu Chenqian arrived near and hurriedly instructed his subordinates to help his mother and sixth sister get into the carriage, and the sound of searching for people behind him was still in his ears, which inexplicably made him feel uncomfortable.

People like the king of Anyang County, even if they die, it is not a pity, he hoped that those people could succeed in assassination, but he didn't expect that in the end, they would fail.

Walking forward with the carriage, his eyes subconsciously looked along the river, and Mu Chenqian's eyes suddenly froze.

There was a black shadow flashing in the grass at a bend not far away, but because the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities who rushed over to pursue it retreated into the water again, but those soldiers did not leave immediately, but scattered and searched around.

Mu Chenqian secretly worried about the dark shadow, but he couldn't put it down, raised his hand and called Fang Xian, the little servant who followed behind him, and whispered a few words to him, Fang Xian knew how to leave quietly, and then he followed the carriage back with peace of mind.

In the car, Mu Zhiyue personally served Chen's clean face and comforted him a few words, and Chen completely recovered from the panic just now, seeing Mu Zhiyue's calm look, she only didn't know the danger and horror when she was young, so she didn't mention it anymore.

The second master Mu was waiting not far in front, and when he saw his carriage driving out, he put down the heart he had been carrying, hastily asked a few words, turned over and got on the horse, and followed the person who came to pick him up to the Jingshi Mu Mansion first.

Entering the Chongwen Gate into the inner city, all the way large and small vendors gathered, the traffic was busy, and the pedestrians were weaving.

Listening to the movement outside the car window, Mu Zhiyue never dared to open the curtain to take a look, even the shouting of the vendor through the curtain was so familiar, but she could no longer raise the sense of intimacy.

In her heart, six years in the capital was like a nightmare, and now that she is there again, she will never have that sense of belonging.

The inner city of Jingshi is known as the rich in the west and the noble in the east, and most of the people who live in the west are the families of some businessmen who have quite an industry, while the east city is the place where the officials gather, which is the so-called place where you can throw a stone at will and hit an official.

The Mu family's mansion is located in the east city, and the noise of the carriage is getting weaker all the way, which shows that it has entered an alley with few people.

Sure enough, after only a few moments, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down until it finally stopped.

Mama Zhou lifted the curtain, and her second cousin Mu Chenxiao wore a shirt and a jade belt around her waist, standing in front of the horse of the second master Mu, and after bowing her hand, she said a few words and walked towards the carriage.

Holding the curtain opened by Mama Zhou, she first saluted the Chen family, and then greeted Mu Zhiyue before saying: "Mother is waiting anxiously, the second aunt and the sixth sister have been driving all the way, let's enter the house first and then come to talk." ”

After Chen agreed, he took the initiative to help put the curtain and led the carriage through the side door.

The eldest lady Wu was leading the servants in the house to wait at the gate, and the carriage stopped when it was close, so the spiritual maid took the initiative to help lift the curtain and set up the stool, and Chen walked down with the support of Mu Zhiyue.

Wu stepped forward with a smile and took her hand, and they had a good relationship with each other for a while, and led everyone to the main hall.

The capital Mu Mansion is a big mansion with seven entrances, it was the residence of a cabinet minister in the previous dynasty, and the descendants of the cabinet minister did not make any progress, not to mention the ancestral foundation, and finally had to resell the house, and it was bought by the old lady Mu who was serving in Beijing at that time.

The first two repaired the entrance hall, the flower hall and the main hall for entertaining guests, and the third entrance is the main courtyard, and Old Lady Mu is waiting in the hall house of the third entrance at the moment.

As soon as Mu Zhiyue stepped in, she saw Mu Chenqi standing beside her grandfather, her eyes were full of worry, and her father, who had not seen her for many days, was also present.

Covering up the countless questions in his heart, he saluted his grandfather with Second Master Mu and Chen.

Mu Wuye sat under Mrs. Mu, looking at his daughter who had not seen him for a long time, his heart was full of relief, now that his son has recovered and his daughter has grown up, he can finally be worthy of the Cui family who died early.

After Mu Zhiyue and everyone saw the salute, she walked quickly to Mu Chenqi, pretending to be incredulous and asking her brother if he was really well.

Mu Chenqi looked at her with a smile on the corner of his lips, still as excited as if he was telling her for the first time, "Yue'er, I'm really fine, my grandfather has been teaching me poetry and books these days, and he has learned a lot, if you don't believe me, you can test me." ”

The two brothers and sisters were playing here, and the people on the side were also sighing, Chen asked Mu Chenqi curiously how to cure his illness, and Wu explained to her in a whisper.

It is said that Mrs. Mu asked someone to ask for the head of Qingmingzi after entering Beijing, it turned out that Mrs. Mu had also given Qingmingzi a prayer post, but they were all sunk in the sea, but this time Qingmingzi not only borrowed the Mu family's worship post, but also personally came to Mu Mansion to see Mu Chenqi's illness.

Later, I learned that it was Mu Chenxiao and Qingmingzi who met unexpectedly, and Qingmingzi admired Mu Chenxiao's personality and talent very much, and the two of them formed a year-old friendship.

It was because Qingmingzi took a look at Mu Jiagao after knowing Mu Chenxiao's identity, which led to the subsequent diagnosis and treatment.

Mu Zhiyue listened to it on the side, but her heart was full of doubts, as far as she knew, Qingmingzi did have some real skills, and he couldn't take the credit of others as his own, so what happened in between?
