Chapter 9: The Culprit
The fourth sister looked at it the same as in her impression, with a dough face, and the corners of her mouth were always smiling inadvertently, which was very pleasing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Seventh Sister is much smaller than in the impression, a round face is very cute, people can't help but want to pinch it. The two are wearing a placket stand-up collar silk shirt of the same color today, and a bean-green brocade Hunan skirt.
The two of them dressed the same and stood together, one big and one small, but they didn't feel abrupt. However, in Mu Zhiyue's view, this is just for the second aunt to show people, so as to show that she treats her children equally.
Mu Qinglin asked about Zhiyue's injury with concern, and said some words to pay attention to his body, and a few people chatted for a while before they arrived at Ciyan Hall.
There are already a few people standing or sitting in the room, the third aunt, the fourth aunt, the fifth cousin, the eighth sister, plus the few people who just came in, and all the hostesses of the Mu family in Fengyang are all there.
After seeing the salute, Mu Zhiyue replied again about her unharmed concern, and all the female dependents continued to say something, and Mu Zhiyan helped her grandmother, who had just had breakfast, out. After the second girl came back from Beijing, she didn't open another courtyard because she was the only one in the big house, and lived in Ciyan Hall with Mrs. Mu.
Mu Xinwei, an eight girl with a milk ball, shook a pair of little short legs and came to the old lady, saying that she would recite the "Thousand Character Text" taught by her mother yesterday to the old lady.
“…… Cover this body hair, the four big and five constant, respectfully bow and raise, how dare you destroy it."
The soft and glutinous voice made people feel sweet like honey that could not be dissolved, everyone applauded, and the old lady hugged her and kissed her, and said that this little girl will not be worse than her sisters when she grows up.
Mu Zhiyue, who was warm in the room, felt warm in her heart, and in her previous life, she always felt that she was outside the excitement, and she had been watching her relatives laugh as a bystander. For the first time in my life, I was immersed in this atmosphere, and it felt good to be wrapped in warmth for many years of loneliness.
Laughing and laughing, Mama Hong brought Mu Chenqi here, and the fourth young master didn't greet the old lady after he came, so he ran to Ling Yan who was standing behind Mu Zhiyue first, and arched his hand and said: "Yue'er taught me, she said that she can't talk about women who are fat and can eat, and I won't say anything if you eat more in the future." also added a sentence of "really" very seriously.
Mu Zhiyue really wanted to slap this brother out. Lingyan's face was already red as if she had been coated with several layers of rouge, and her round head hung down and drooped, and she wanted to shrink to the soles of her feet, this time she really had no face to see people.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they reacted, the old lady laughed and fell into Mu Zhiyan's arms, stretched out a finger and pointed at Mu Chenqi speechless, only "You, you, you ......" non-stop.
Mu Zhiyue couldn't stand it anymore, and also pushed Mu Chenqi out with a red face, "Brother, go find someone else to play, don't come to anger us here", with such a brother, she has no face to see anyone.
Mu Chenqi was so dizzy that he was kicked out without even asking for an invitation.
The second lady Chen, who arrived one step ahead of her brother, reprimanded the maids and grandmothers around her with a straight face: "The nonsense that the fourth young master said, when I leave the house, I will rot in my stomach, if anyone spreads it, don't blame me for being polite." As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing again, and hurriedly put away his smile for fear of losing his majesty.
Because the Mu family school is relatively strict, classes are held at the beginning of every day, so the boys of the Mu family do not need to be in the morning.
After some laughter, the sisters all quit and went to the primary school, and Mu Zhiyue was ordered by her grandmother to rest for a few days because she had just been frightened. It just so happened that Mu Zhiyue didn't want to listen to the things she had already learned, so she didn't leave in Ciyan Hall.
The others also quit in twos and threes to be busy with other things, Mu Zhiyan was secretly detained by his grandmother, and he was a good seed, so he hadn't been to the primary school since he returned to Fengyang.
Tasting the Yangxian purple bamboo shoots brought up by the maid, Mu Zhiyue couldn't help but sigh that the Mu family had a deep heritage.
I didn't think it before, but after going to Huaiyuanbo's mansion, I deeply realized that this kind of tribute tea with a very low annual output is extremely rare, even Huaiyuanbo's status is extremely rare, but in Mu Mansion, the juniors also drink it casually.
was eating beautiful tea, a little girl poked her head out of the door, and a first-class maid named Huan'er next to the old lady went out lightly, turned around for a moment, and bent her knees: "Old lady, Mrs. Zhao Jia, who shocked the carriage of the six girls yesterday, came with her son."
The old lady raised her hand and waved Mu Zhiyan, who was pressing her shoulder, and said to the two granddaughters kindly: "The sun is very good outside today, you two can go out to play for a while." This is the expenditure of the two little girls.
Mu Zhiyan and Mu Zhiyue came out of Ciyan Hall one after the other. Mu Zhiyan is a light character, so he doesn't talk much, and this sixth sister is usually timid and has little contact with herself, so neither of them spoke, and walked slowly along the verandah.
It was Mu Zhiyue who opened her mouth first, "Second sister rarely goes to the West Garden, why don't you go to my place?"
After thinking about it, he changed his words and said: "There is an idle yard in the West Garden called 'Xiuzhutang', and there are a few magnolia plants in full bloom in it, and you can smell the fragrant fragrance from afar. Why don't we go there?"
Because the Xiuzhutang is an idle courtyard, it is very clean, so Mu Zhiyue always went there when he was a child. I came out with my third sister this morning, and I smelled the fragrance of magnolia flowers from afar, so I thought I would go and see it again when I was free.
Mu Zhiyan looked at Mu Zhiyue, who was obviously talking more than in the past, and nodded, no one wants to be a loner, she is not familiar with her sisters because she grew up in Beijing since she was a child, and of course someone who is willing to get close to her is not wanted. The two took a group of maids and women to the West Garden.
Although Xiuzhutang is uninhabited, it has always been taken care of. Before you get closer, you can smell a refreshing fragrance, and after a few steps and turn a corridor, you will see six or seven magnolia trees standing there majestically, with broad leaves and thick shade, and light yellow flowers are pretty on the branches, which are the size of two fists of adults. Because the flower is large and resembles a lotus, the magnolia is also called the lotus magnolia.
Looking at the huge flowers of a tree, both of them were overjoyed. Mu Zhiyan was rarely excited to walk under the tree, and spoke to Mu Zhiyue with the biggest smile, "I really didn't expect that there would be such a good yard in the West Garden, I didn't know it, and thanks to the sixth sister who brought me here." ”
Mu Zhiyue replied to her with a smile: "If the second sister likes it, she can come often in the future, I love to lie down and read under this tree, through the layers of shade, the sunlight can really make people feel the comfort of stealing a half day of leisure."
The two sisters circled around under the tree many times, and when they were tired, Mu Zhiyue asked Ling Yan to carry two rattan deck chairs, put a low table in the middle, and put a pot of tea and a few pastries.
Mu Zhiyan showed a hint of a smile, "I didn't expect the sixth sister to be so elegant, but I underestimated you in the past."
This lying under the tree drinking tea and eating pastries is not something I had when I was a child, but now it was a whim, Mu Zhiyue pursed her lips and smiled and did not speak.
Mu Zhiyan took his sister's hand and lay down together, looked up at the sunlight shining through the shade of the trees, and really realized what Mu Zhiyue said, "stealing half a day of leisure".
Signaling the maid who followed her to hide from the sun under the eaves of the corridor in the distance, there was no one to serve, Mu Zhiyan turned his head to Mu Zhiyue and sighed: "Alas, it has been half a year since I came back from Jingshi, and I have been detained by my grandmother in Ciyan Hall every day, and I follow my grandmother to read Buddhist scriptures, write big characters, and cultivate self-cultivation, but I don't know how much time has passed. Sometimes I even feel like my grandmother is dying and old, and everything is over."
In her previous life, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the contact between Mu Zhiyue and her second cousin was a nodding acquaintance, so she thought that there was no communication, and she was surprised by her sense of twilight, and suddenly felt some compassion in her heart. Everyone thinks that the second cousin is so proud that she is not popular, I think she was so decadent before she got married, fortunately she met a good husband.
Mu Zhiyue said sincerely: "In the past, my sister was withdrawn and ignorant, if the second sister didn't bother me, my sister would definitely bother me more in the future, so that you don't have time to think about these things."
Mu Zhiyan laughed when he heard this, and said repeatedly, "Okay, I'm afraid that my sister won't come to disturb me."
Looking at Mu Zhiyan, who was laughing regardless of his image, Mu Zhiyue really wanted to say, Second Sister, where did you lose your image of not eating fireworks in the world and fairy wind bones.
Ate a small piece of sugar bergamot, sweet and greasy, Mu Zhiyue didn't like it too much, with her own experience, she had passed the stage of loving sweets, and took a sip of tea.
Mu Zhiyan's head poked over, and she said to her, "Hey, let me tell you something, yesterday after Dr. Chang gave you treatment, I was invited by Aunt Yan in your room."
Mu Zhiyue really didn't know about this, and asked suspiciously, "Is Aunt Yan sick?"
Mu Zhiyan sneered at the corner of his mouth, "What can you know with your elm head, I heard it when Qingxing and grandmother beside my grandmother told me yesterday." There was a hint of intimacy in her tone that she hadn't even noticed.
Then he said: "You are going to add people to the five rooms."
Mu Zhiyue was stunned by this sentence, and after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't remember what year her father's concubine was born. In her previous life, Aunt Yan had a lot of tossing after she was pregnant with her concubine, and she felt that she was the most expensive person in the five rooms, and she had no respect for her brother and herself, and she caused a lot of trouble.
Just a few days after the return of rebirth, is the day of chickens flying and dogs jumping about to begin?
"You have to be vigilant, although I haven't seen that aunt, but I know from looking at the third sister that she should also be a competitive master", Mu Zhiyan kindly reminded again.
This Mu Zhiyue naturally understands that Aunt Yan's mother and daughter are strong in everything, and after giving birth to a concubine, she doesn't take herself and her brother seriously.
Mu Zhiyue knows all these things in her heart, and since she starts over, she can't let others handle them like in her previous life.
But she didn't expect Mu Zhiyan to say this to herself, her second sister has always been an outsider-like character, but today she has changed sex?
The morning sun was not so strong, and the two of them were still hiding in the shade of the trees, and the feeling of the breeze on their faces was like a pair of gentle hands, which could calm people's minds.
Mu Zhiyan still maintained a half-lying and half-sitting posture, and said in a heart-to-heart tone in the direction of Mu Zhiyue: "You must be curious why I told you this, right?"
Mu Zhiyue was still immersed in her own consciousness, and replied to her words in a daze: "Why?"
Mu Zhiyan put down the cup and stood up from the recliner, looked at the wall in the distance, and said faintly: "I think it's to thank you for this floating life,"
The two chatted for a while, and a little maid came to say that Mrs. Sun had left. Mu Zhiyue sent the second girl out of the door of the West Garden before turning back to Fangxie Courtyard.
