Chapter 267: One More Man Taken In
"Also, don't call me master, I'm just a wandering man, where to be the master's son, just call me Uncle Bai", the old man said again.
Then he served tea and sent it off, Mu Zhiyue looked at Imperial Doctor Zhang, the other party shook his head at her almost undetectably, Mu Zhiyue had no choice but to say kindly: "Then don't disturb Uncle Bai's rest, if Uncle Bai needs anything, just tell your subordinates, don't be polite."
Uncle Bai hummed an "um" from his throat.
Xia Yi also followed Mu Zhiyue's footsteps and walked out, and he didn't speak all the way.
It wasn't until he stepped out of the gate that he turned around and said, "Do you really believe that old man?
Mu Zhiyue paused in his footsteps and looked up at him: "Did Gongzi Xia find anything?"
Xia Yi shook his head: "It's nothing, I just think the behavior is weird." ”
"This kind of person outside the world is always different from ordinary people, in this situation, we have no choice, whether it is good or bad, we have to try him", Mu Zhiyue looked at the front with a faint look in his eyes.
The moonlight was quiet, and the entire Zhuangzi was shrouded in hazy moonlight, just like Mu Zhiyue's mood at the moment.
"It's late at night, so Zhiyue won't disturb Xia Gongzi's rest, and will leave first. ”
"Miss Mu Liu, please stay, Xia has something unclear and wants to ask the girl for advice. ”
Mu Zhiyue stood still, not knowing what Xia Yi wanted to say to her.
Xia Yi took a step forward and stood in front of Mu Zhiyue.
"I heard that the girl said that someone was buying iron tools on a large scale, but I don't know where the girl heard the news, but who is really buying it?"
After Xia Yi heard about this, he sent someone out to investigate, but he didn't find any clues.
Mu Zhiyue's expression was grim, it was only a short time after she revealed that she knew Xia Yi's identity that day, and according to her deduce, her grandfather did not know the relationship between Xia Yi and the Seventh Prince at that time.
So where did he know what she and her grandfather were talking about?
Xia Yi saw her suspicious face, and kicked the pebbles on the ground casually, "Didn't you say that you already knew that Old Lady Mu also knew the identity of the Seventh Prince, I thought that since these things have been guessed by you, then I still hid what Old Lady Mu did, so I simply found out my identity with him." ”
Mu Zhiyue didn't believe what he said at all, if he was really worried that he would leak it to his grandfather, the two of them had already been tense to that extent that day, what could he not warn and intimidate himself.
He must have had his own business, and he had to talk to his grandfather before he used her as an excuse.
secretly sneered in his heart that Xia Yi was looking for these high-sounding reasons to prevaricate himself, but he couldn't point them out clearly.
Thinking that his grandfather already knew Xia Yi's identity, he told him everything he said.
For a while, his mind turned back and forth, and he didn't answer Xia Yi's words.
"Is there anything else that Miss Mu Liu has to hide and can't tell me?", Xia Yi looked at Mu Zhiyue with a pair of playful eyes.
"Xia Gongzi said seriously, this matter is really my maid inadvertently heard, I just thought that I could do this business to make a fortune, so I asked my grandfather for an idea, I never thought that Xia Gongzi was also interested in this matter. ”
Mu Zhiyue looked at Xia Yi with a smile on her face, "Grandfather has already said that I should not touch the business of ironware and the like, so I will not do it, if Xia Gongzi is not afraid of this, you can give it a try, it is indeed a big business that can make a fortune." ”
Xia Yi pondered for a while, and when he saw that he really couldn't get any words out of Mu Zhiyue's mouth, he gave up.
"I didn't expect Miss Mu Liu to be young, and she was also a person who did great things, I don't know if Miss Mu Liu still remembered that you owed me a favor. ”
Mu Zhiyue didn't expect Xia Yi to mention this, and he must have known something in his heart.
"Does Mr. Xia want me to fulfill this promise now?"
Xia Yi looked at her calm eyes, "Xia Mou has this intention, I don't know if Miss Mu Liu can do what she says." ”
Although Mu Zhiyue knew that Xia Yi's proposal at this time must be related to what she had just said, since someone else had brought it up, she had to keep her promise.
"Xia Gongzi, please tell me, what can be done, Zhiyue will definitely not shirk. ”
Xia Yi showed a triumphant smile, "Then you're welcome, I know that Miss Mu Liu can understand more things than ordinary people at a young age, and she must have something different from people." ”
"I will not pursue this matter, and I will not investigate it. But right now, I have something I want to ask Miss Mu Liu for help. ”
Mu Zhiyue didn't know what he wanted her to help, but she was by no means the one who broke her word and got fat, even if she promised her, she would definitely fulfill it.
So he nodded.
Xia Yi glanced at Ling Yan and Xiao Zhuo who were following behind her, this time Mu Zhiyue came out, and the four personal maids around her all followed.
Ling Yan and Xiao Zhuo received Mu Zhiyue's signal, and they all retreated more than ten steps away.
Xia Yi watched them walk away before saying, "I want to ask Miss Mu Liu to help me take in someone." ”
Mu Zhiyue was stunned, is this a good discussion, the people sent by the county lord Anzhen over there have just settled down, and someone here has come to beg her to take her in, and she is considered to be a refuge here.
Thinking of this, Mu Zhiyue was a little angry in her heart, one or two of them were still kind to her, and they were reborn, but they didn't enjoy much blessing, but they owed a basket of kindness.
"Is Miss Mu Liu in trouble?" Xia Yi asked again when she saw that she was silent for a long time.
"No", Mu Zhiyue barely pulled out a smile.
"I don't know what the identity of the person entrusted by Xia Gongzi is. ”
Xia Yi shook his head, "This, please forgive Xia for inconvenience, but please rest assured that Miss Mu Liu, this person must not be a big traitor."
"Just one point, this child's identity is very secret, and it can't be known to outsiders, and I also heard that Miss Mu Liu helped the county lord of Anzhen take in a person before she thought of bothering you", Xia Yi said with a smile.
Another child? Mu Zhiyue was completely speechless, yes, she would be able to run a school in a few days.
"This kid is not from a noble background, Miss Mu Liu only needs to give him a bite to eat, or let him follow the person entrusted by the county lord Anzhen to be a scholar or a little boy or something. ”
Mu Zhiyue was a little interested in the person Xia Yi wanted to protect in every possible way, but they said that they would not be allowed to ask, so they had to not ask.
"I know about this, when my brother's matter is over, when I return to Fengyang City, I will ask the shopkeeper in my shop to pick people over. ”
"No," Xia Yi refused, "That person can't stay with me for long, so I need to send him over now." ”
Mu Zhiyue glanced at him, who could let him send him out so urgently?
But I also knew that it was not good to ask too much, so I only said: "I am now surrounded by my grandfather's people, if they go to pass on the Zhu shopkeeper, is this okay?"
"It's okay, Miss Mu doesn't have to bother anyone, I will send people away, but I don't know if Shopkeeper Zhu will believe my people. ”
Mu Zhiyue immediately understood what he meant, "Then I'll repair a letter to Shopkeeper Zhu and let your people bring it." ”
