Chapter 4 The carriage overturned

There was a faint pain in the place where her head was hit, and Mu Zhiyue decided not to think about it for now, and to watch it as a dream. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info really reined in his thoughts, and fell asleep as the carriage swayed.

Mu Zhiyue woke up to Su'er's soft call, and this sleep was deep.

"Miss, we're here," she said softly.

Mu Zhiyue opened her eyes and answered, straightened her crooked bun with Ling Yan, and got out of the carriage with the support of the two girls.

In front of her is a vast green wall and tile, of course Mu Zhiyue will not forget this place, this Fengyang Mu Mansion where she was born and grew up in Si.

Speaking of the Mu Mansion, I have to mention the Mu family.

The Mu family is a famous house in Fengyang, a century-old family, and the ancestors have produced an emperor, a Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, two sons of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, and there has been a family of glory such as four jinshi.

And the Mu family's ethnology can be topped in Fengyang and even the entire Nanzhili, and there are countless people who have come out of the Mu family and live in the temple in the current dynasty and even the previous dynasty.

Great-grandfather Mu Ming's heirs withered, although he had a wife and two concubines, but there was only one concubine, Mu Fengyue and a concubine, Mu Fengnian, and there was nothing after that. Mu Ming's wife, Yin, treated Mu Fengnian as a son-in-law. At the age of seventeen, he learned about Yuan in the township examination, and although he failed to rank first in the second year examination, he was also on the list. After all, he is not the son of his in-laws, and the Yin family is afraid that one day after Mu Ming goes, this son will be separated from him, and he will make the decision to give his niece to Mu Fengnian.

This niece is Mu Zhiyue's grandmother. After the grandmother entered the door, she reconciled with her grandfather, and it goes without saying that she and her great-grandmother already had an aunt-nephew relationship. Grandmother is a blessed person, she became pregnant in less than two months after entering the house, and gave birth to a son in the second year, who was Mu Zhiyue's eldest uncle, and then gave birth to Mu Zhiyue's father and aunt one after another, and several other uncles and aunts were concubines.

The Mu family is different from the world, that is, as long as you have the ability, you will be treated the same regardless of your concubine, which is also the family style left by your great-grandmother's kindness to your grandfather. Therefore, although the Mu family has different concubines, they rarely treat their concubines and concubines lightly, and it is precisely because of this that the Mu family has gone from a thin line of great-grandparents to a prosperous and numerous heirs today.

Mu Mansion is located in the east city of Fengyang County and is one of the best mansions in Fengyang. Originally, it was just a five-entry house, but because of the repeated increase in population, Yu Xian was crowded, so the two houses next to it were also bought together, called the East Garden and the West Garden. As a result, only one Mu Mansion occupies an entire alley.

Mu Zhiyue remembered that after the sixth uncle had an accident, he and his eldest uncle moved back to Fengyang with their family, and bought the three houses in the back street, and expanded the two streets into one street.

The expansion of the mansion is still a matter of two years, and the current Mu Mansion is only the Mu Mansion on Qingyang Street. It is still the magnificent vermilion lacquer Guangliang gate, the crouching lion on the drum stone on both sides has a piercing gaze, not angry and self-assured, and the door was replaced by a golden pillar gate after the eldest uncle and the sixth uncle lost their officials.

The clouds in the sky are like white clothes, and the beard is changed like a dog. It doesn't matter if it's a dream or a life adventure, come on, Mu Zhiyue thought.

The third cousin had already gone back to the mansion to "ask for sin" first, and regardless of whether the two girls followed, Mu Zhiyue walked towards the Mu mansion in a hurry.

Entering the mansion, a maid with big eyelids dressed in a blue green armor greeted her with a smile, wearing a string of tortoiseshell beads on her head, and a pair of silver bell earrings on her cheeks shook and made a crisp sound as she walked. Mu Zhiyue searched in her memory, time was long, and she couldn't remember which room this was.

The little maid walked up to Mu Zhiyue and gave a salute, and said with a smile, "Miss Six is back, the old lady and the ladies are in a hurry, and they specially sent a maid to pick you up." Mu Zhiyue looked behind her when she heard this, and four mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists and an oil-walled soft sedan chair were waiting next to the moon cave door on the west side.

Su Er behind her, Mu Zhiyue stepped forward and grabbed the maid's hand and said with a smile, "There is Sister Lao Qihua, our young lady is injured, I am worried about how to walk over." As he spoke, he had already stuffed an eight-dollar silver coin into the hand of this maid named Qihua.

Qihua secretly twisted it in his sleeve with satisfaction, and said to his waist, "The slave and maid don't dare, it's all the old lady's orders, the maid is just running an errand, six girls, please"

Because of the death of his mother three years ago, his father took care of the affairs of the Mu Mansion, and there was no capable master in the entire Fang Xie Courtyard, and in the eyes of these servants, the status of the five rooms in the Mu Mansion gradually declined. Mu Zhiyue is also well-behaved and sensible, her brother is like that, she can't make trouble for the Mu family anymore. So she and the people around her are cautious, gentle, and never pinch the tip to be strong.

After Mu Zhiyue sat down, the soft sedan chair was gently lifted and walked up slowly, turning into the moon cave door on the west side.

Mu Zhiyue raised her hand and gently lifted the sedan curtain, looking at the scenery outside, and after a few breaths, the surging water came into view.

The sparkling surface of the lake is covered with blue against the sky, and it is like a dream. Mu Zhiyue knows that this is Qinsi Lake, the origin of the name has no evidence, there is a huge Tailingbi stone on the shore near her side, the word "Qinsi" is written on it, and I don't know whether it is because of these two and the lake or because of the lake and the inscription.

The willow trees planted by the lake sway their branches in the wind, like the waist of a beautiful woman.

After walking through the lake about 20 zhang wide, you can see a hanging flower gate standing on the right hand side, and entering this gate is the "Ciyan Hall" where my grandfather and grandmother lived. The mother-in-law guarding the door had already been instructed, and saw the sedan chair hurriedly opening the door, and the four-person sedan chair entered the door smoothly.

After entering the entrance, you can see the loquat trees on both sides, which are verdant and lush. It is conceivable that when the weather is cold, the trees will be full of loquat fruits. Mu Zhiyue knew that these were just two red sand pipa plants, and the flesh was sour, so he didn't dare to eat them again after tasting them once when he was a child. However, my brother loves sour, and he likes it very much, so many of them were sent to Fanghe Yuan after the result.

Facing is a wall painted with the green pine on the cliff bank, and one side is written in orthography with eight big characters of "high mountain uplift, scenery line line". This wall should have been repainted this year, the color is bright, and there is no trace of wind and rain erosion at all.

Bypassing the wall, Mu Zhiyue put down the sedan curtain and stopped watching. This Mu Mansion is still the same as she remembers, and it has not changed at all. After tidying up the placket, after the sedan chair stopped, Mu Zhiyue slowly walked out.

The "Ciyan Hall" plaque written in willow style is hung high on the frieze, and the grandfather and the second uncle are good willow books, but Mu Zhiyue does not know whether this plaque is written by the two or passed down by the ancestors.

Looking at the plaque, a feeling of being separated from the world hit her facial features. In her memory, she didn't return to Fengyang for five years since her father remarried, and she didn't see the scenery of this Mu Mansion, and all this is right in front of her at this moment, and she still can't believe that she is really back.

Without waiting for her to think about it, a cyan figure rushed out of the house like a wind, squeezed past the maids standing in front of the stairs and ran in front of Mu Zhiyue in a few big steps.

Mu Zhiyue looked at the person in front of her who was half a head taller than her, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, red and tender lips and a smile revealing white teeth.

A burst of sourness flashed on the tip of her nose and the corners of her eyes, and in front of her was her brother's youthful appearance, far less than what she had seen in the previous days, but this was exactly what her brother looked like in her memory.

The memories of the years have been blurred, but those warmth are still there.

I still remember that I made a bet with my fifth cousin that I stole my uncle's favorite Qingzhou Linglong inkstone, and was punished by my grandmother for copying "Women's Rules" ten times, otherwise I would not be allowed to eat. At that time, she was only five years old, and the length of the article made her sad. The elder brother got the peony cake, secretly carried it in his arms, escaped the eyes of the servant woman and jumped out of the window into the house, and when he saw himself, he was full of joy and took it out and put it to his mouth and said, "It's delicious, give it to Yue'er." I still remember that when my mother went, my brother was ignorant and didn't know what death was, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he took his hand and said, "Yue'er is good, the big tiger is coming, and my brother kicks him." I still remember that when I got married, my third cousin went out on his back, and my brother dragged his feet and asked, "Yue'er doesn't want a brother?" And that day, his voice was like a cuckoo crying blood.

The wet eyes knew again and again that even if he didn't understand anything, his brother still knew to rely on and love him.

Mu Chenqi lowered his head slightly and took Mu Zhiyue's hand, just now the third cousin came back and talked to his grandmother for a long time, and he didn't understand it very well. But there was one sentence he understood, the third brother said that Yue'er was injured, he knew what an injury was, and in the spring he tripped over a stone on the side of the road and broke his hand, and he was bleeding. He remembered that it was very painful, he cried for a long time, he didn't even dare to take chopsticks to eat, and for several days it was Mama Hong who fed him.

Mu Chenqi happened to touch the place where Mu Zhiyue was injured, and let out a soft "hiss". This frightened Mu Chenqi, he didn't let go, and pulled in his direction, shouting "Yue'er doesn't cry, my brother blows it", and Mu Zhiyue made a painful "Oops" during the pull.

Seeing this, Mama Hong, who came out with Mu Chenqi, hurriedly stepped forward and tore Mu Chenqi's hand away, and dissuaded, "Fourth young master, you hurt the sixth girl, please let go."

After finishing speaking, he gave Mu Zhiyue a deep salute and continued, "The fourth young master is unintentional, please don't blame the sixth girl." The second lady has invited Dr. Chang to come over, and the sixth girl should come into the house quickly and let Dr. Chang take a look at you."

Mama Hong is Mu Chenqi's nurse, and she has been taking care of Mu Chenqi all these years.

The elder brother is ignorant of the world, and the mother left early, if it weren't for Mama Hong's careful care, what would have happened. So for this old mother, Mu Zhiyue is still very grateful.

smiled and responded, "I don't care about my brother" and gave Su'er a look, Su'er was already very clever when she was young, and when she saw this, she stepped forward and quietly stuffed two taels of silver to Mama Hong.

Yes, although this Mama Hong treats her brother sincerely, she has a little problem of greedy for money, because she is timid but she doesn't dare to make any big mistakes. It's just that on two occasions, she secretly took her brother's clothes to sell, and was found out by Mu Zhiyue and told her father, Mu Zhiyue still remembers what her father warned her.
