Chapter 10 Accepting Reality

Su'er walked in with her head hanging and heavy steps, Mu Zhiyue knew it at a glance, and asked with a smile: "But the matter of the horse is over?" ”

Su'er nodded with wide eyes and said lamentingly: "I really made the girl guess right."

Mu Zhiyue showed an unfathomable "I know" expression. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info turned her head and went into the study on the west side to write big characters, and only writing could make her mind clear.

Since that day's deep talk, the relationship between Mu Zhiyan and Mu Zhiyue has become much closer. Mu Zhiyan really liked the place of Xiuzhutang, and he had to lie here for a while every day, of course, every time he came, he didn't forget to pull Mu Zhiyue.

The two chatted all over the world, sometimes Mu Zhiyan told her interesting stories in the capital, and sometimes talked about the grievances between the families. Mu Zhiyue can also tell stories, telling stories from wild history, and sometimes making up stories about what he saw and heard in Beijing in his previous life, and the more the two talked, the more like-minded they felt.

In this happy time, the old lady of the Mu family and the fifth master returned. After the old lady Mu said to the officer, he got everything he deserved in this life, honors, wealth, and fame, but the only thing that did not go all over the mountains and rivers was that it was better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, and he didn't want to have regrets after dedicating his life to the Mu family. So as soon as I flicked my sleeves, I took a loyal servant and a few guards and went on a tour of the mountains and rivers.

Mu Wuye dealt with it because there was something wrong with the Mu family's batch of goods in Nanyang, and he has been gone for almost a month.

The old lady has been away from home for nearly a year, and because she will send a letter back from time to time, the people of the Mu family are very relieved. It's just that I didn't expect to come back with the fifth master this time.

Because the old lady's return to the house is a major event, the children of the Mu family did not go to the school today, and Mu Zhiyue finally saw all the relatives of the Mu family in Fengyang for the first time after being reborn.

Everyone packed up early and rushed to Ciyan Hall, and after getting the news that the old lady Mu and his party were about to arrive in Dongcheng, they all went to the gate of Mu Mansion to wait to greet them.

In less than a quarter of an hour, I saw three black painted flat-topped horse-drawn carriages coming in the direction of Mu Fu in the distance. When the carriage arrived at the main gate of the Mu Mansion, a middle-aged man jumped out of the carriage in the front, tall and sturdy, wearing a garcinia yellow muslin short brown, with legs tied, and a pair of blue cloth shoes stained with dust.

The middle-aged man jumped out of the carriage and galloped to the ground on one knee in front of Old Madam Mu, and arched his hand: "The little one is worthy of the trust of the old lady and the old lady, and I ask the old lady to punish him." ”

Everyone was stunned, but Old Madam Mu was the first to react, took two steps forward with trembling hands, and asked nervously, "But what happened to the master, where are the others?" ”

Everyone also reacted and stepped forward to ask. This middle-aged man is traveling with Old Lady Mu, and is responsible for protecting the old lady's safety Escort Zhao Meng.

Before Zhao Meng could answer, a hoarse voice came weakly from the carriage he jumped from: "Let's talk about it first, I don't have a big deal." Everyone heard this voice, it was the former servant of the ministry, Mu Fengnian, the old lady of the Mu family.

As soon as Old Lady Mu finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Mu Wuye, who was wearing a black green bamboo pattern engraved silk robe, jumped down from the carriage. I saw that his jet-black hair was tied with a hosta, his thick eyebrows were raised to his temples, his face was tanned, and there were some bloodshots in his eyes. Mu Zhiyue looked at his father blankly, his father was still very young, although he looked tired, he still had a sense of perseverance, unlike the half-white hair that he saw in front of his spirit. There were tears in her eyes, and she forcibly took them back.

After Mu Wuye jumped out of the carriage, he walked quickly to the old lady and knelt on his knees, kowtowed, and said: "The son asks his mother to say goodbye, the father is fine, please get into the carriage, and the son will explain to you when he enters the mansion." ”

The old lady nodded, took the hand of the big maid Huan'er by her side and walked towards the carriage, walked a few steps, paused, turned back to the second lady Chen who was standing behind her, and said, "Send someone to invite Doctor Chang over first." The second lady bowed down, and the old lady quickened her pace and got into the carriage.

The porter unloaded the wooden sill blocking the doorway, and the carriage slowly drove in, and everyone followed the carriage into the house with a heart of worry.

In the main room of Ciyan Hall, everyone did not leave, and several pairs of eyes were staring at the east side for a while, waiting for Dr. Chang to treat the old lady.

Everyone saw the old lady when he was helped out of the carriage just now, and his arms were wrapped in white muslin, and he could see blood oozing out. Mrs. Mu is the backbone of the Mu family, and people say that if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, he is the treasure of the Mu family. So everyone in the house has a heart.

Mu Wuye didn't go back to Fangxiyuan to change clothes, so he sat in the house drinking tea in the clothes he wore when he came back.

Mu Zhiyue and Mu Jingyun glanced at each other, and the two stepped forward together and bowed to their father.

The fifth master looked at the big one like a delicate flower, and then looked at the childish one that had not taken off, and a trace of warmth appeared in his eyes, and the two daughters were worry-free.

"Moon girl, I heard that you scared the horse a few days ago, but okay?" , The fifth master asked Mu Zhiyue kindly.

Mu Zhiyue tried her best to suppress the sourness on the tip of her nose, and nodded quickly: "It's all right, thank you for your thoughts."

Mu Wuye nodded with satisfaction, "If you go out in the future, you will have to bring more people." He turned his head and asked Mu Zhiyan if he ate well, and the servants were still dedicated.

The father and son were talking, and the maid Qingxing beside the old lady led Doctor Chang out of the room, and then Huan'er helped the old lady to come out. Seeing that the old man's expression was no longer nervous at the beginning, everyone was secretly relieved.

The old lady was seated in the hall, facing a large group of eager eyes, and the old lady said lightly: "The master was hit by an arrow in his arm, and there are no other wounds.

He turned his head to Mu Wuye and said, "Old Five, tell everyone what's going on."

Mu Wuye got the order, and hugged his fist to the old lady and responded: "It's not a big deal, the son met his father in Nanyang, and it is said that the father was injured in order to save a child who was kidnapped by robbers." Afterwards, his son asked Zhao Meng to ask"

He paused and continued: "Zhao Meng said that his father saw that the child had some ambition. Four or five children were kidnapped by robbers together, and the others were silent, only he relied on a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu to steal a slip and run out by himself. But he had to go back to save those children, but he was found and recaptured, and he was beaten half to death but still gritted his teeth and vowed not to fall into the grass."

"There were more than 20 robbers, and my father didn't try to save them when he met them during the day. Later, in the carriage, my father told me that he heard the boy dying and the robbers who made fun of him say, 'The saint is happy in poverty, and does not hurt himself with his desires, and does not suffer from his own interests.' He was very admirable when he saw that the child was dying and could say such a thing, so he softened his heart and asked the guards to quietly save him, but when he was running away, he was discovered by the thieves, and the father blocked an arrow for the child." Mu Wuye finished this long sentence in one breath, picked up the tea cup on the table and poured a big sip before calming down.

"The son met the guard who was taking the child's medicine in our pharmacy and recognized him, so he found his father."

After speaking, he arched his hand and said: "That's all I know, and the rest will have to wait for my father to wake up and ask in detail." The son will go back and change his clothes first, and then come to his father to serve."

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Go back and rest, there are so many people here, and there is no shortage of you."

Second Master Mu, who had been silent, spoke: "Yes, Fifth Brother, you have been tossing for a few days, so go back and sleep well." There are us, as well as Qian'er and Xuan'er, don't worry."

Mu Wuye returned to Fangxi Courtyard in the urging of everyone in unison. There are uncles, uncles and a few cousins who serve his grandfather, so naturally there are not a few granddaughters, so Mu Zhiyue and Mu Jingyun went back to Fangxi Yuan with their father.

Back at Fangxie Courtyard, the two of them first followed Mu Wuye to the main room in the front yard. There was no maid to serve in the father's room, and it was usually the little maid Qi An who followed and served, but this time the fifth master did not finish his business in Nanyang and sent the old lady back to Fengyang first, so he left Qi An in Nanyang to keep an eye on the progress over there.

Mu Zhiyan's eyes moved, and he stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Auntie heard that my father was coming back, so I simmered ginseng lotus soup early, Qi An was not here, why don't my father go to my aunt's place to sit?" ”

Mu Zhiyue quietly despised the third sister and Aunt Yan in her heart, her father had just come back, and the mother and daughter couldn't help but show off. She is not intolerant of Aunt Yan. It's just too much, are they showing a little too eager.

Sure enough, Mu Wuye didn't think about it and said: "No need, just ask a few mothers-in-law to carry water in, and let Uncle Zhong come over to wait for me for one night, Qi An went out with me alone for the first time, presumably he was not at ease, and we just came to talk."

Uncle Zhong is an old man from Mufu, a person who watched his father grow up, and he has been following his father in the early years. In the past few years, his body is not as good as before, his father took charge of his son Qi An to pick up Zhongbo's class, Qi An followed Zhongbo and his father to run outside for a few years, his father felt that he could be an apprentice, this time he only took Qi An alone, and left Zhongbo in the West Garden to serve the flowers and plants.

Mu Zhiyan couldn't say anything more when he heard his father's arrangement, so he and Mu Zhiyue went back together.

On the way, Mu Zhiyan asked Mu Zhiyue casually: "Sixth sister just saw the person brought back by her grandfather?" ”

Mu Zhiyue said lightly: "I have always been with my sisters. The third sister didn't even see the person, I am so short, how can I see it." She was very dissatisfied with Mu Zhiyan's gesture of wanting to talk from her mouth, and she was embarrassed by her little girl who was three years younger than her, but she was embarrassed as the third sister.

Hearing the coldness in her tone, Mu Zhiyan stopped talking, and a group of people walked back to the backyard through the verandah, looking at the closed door after Mu Zhiyue returned to the main room, Mu Zhiyan always had an indescribable feeling of depression in his heart.

Although the third sister was cold in the past, she saw a trace of disdain in her eyes today, although it was fleeting, she was still captured by herself.

What's so great about her, she doesn't have a mother, and her brother is not angry. When the aunt really gave birth to a younger brother, although he was not the eldest son, he was better than the eldest son, and at that time, who would disrespect himself in the fifth room.

Mu Zhiyan shook off the tight handkerchief in his hand and returned to his room.

Mu Zhiyue regretted it when she returned to the main room, was she emotionally exposed just now? This is not a good thing, how can you make such a childish act with your own experience, no matter what happens, you should hide it in your heart.

It must have been when she saw her father's excitement that she comforted herself.
