Chapter 19: Night
Mu Zi walked towards the east chamber under the guidance of the king's steward.
Mu Zi didn't choose for too long, and soon she saw a pair of red coral bracelets on a Duobao Pavilion, the bracelet was actually nothing special, and it was not particularly conspicuous in the Duobao Pavilion, but Mu Zi saw it at a glance.
Mu Zi once had a red crystal bracelet with a bright red color, which was given to her by her master in the year she was practicing.
The pair of red coral bracelets in front of her was very similar to her previous red crystal bracelet, Mu Zi was a little nostalgic, and she also liked this pair of gorgeous red corals a little.
"Miss has such a good eye, children just like these colorful things, little Miss will definitely like it!" Ah Gui really felt that her master had chosen well, and the gift of this 100-day banquet could not be crossed by the gifts given by Mrs. Wu Anhou and the British Duchess at the full moon banquet, and it could not be too shabby, so it was just right to give coral.
"I hope Sister Yuan likes it!" Mu Zi asked Ah Gui to put away the pair of bracelets, and the group left the warehouse.
After talking to Mu Bo for a while, it was not early, and he said goodbye to Mu Bo, and Mu Zi got into the carriage and returned to the Wu'an Hou Mansion under the reluctant gaze of the old man.
When night fell, Mu Bo and a group of old friends gathered together for dinner, and because of the good interest, he also made a few pots of wine.
"This British princess has given birth, I don't know when our young lady will be able to give birth to one, preferably a little young master!" A middle-aged man in a green shirt sipped his wine and said slowly.
"I said surnamed Lin, you drink more refreshingly, lick one bite at a time, like a cat! Hmph, our young lady must be giving birth soon! Miss used to dislike children, so she didn't give birth, but now she likes children, so she will naturally give birth to one! The man who said this drank very happily, and in a short time half a jar of wine had entered his stomach, and his face was red to the base of his neck.
"Go, Zhang Er, you drank too much! I hope that Miss will give birth to a little Miss, just like Miss when she was a child, so cute, and call me Uncle Li softly......"
"That won't do! Although I also like the little lady, the young lady still has to come out with a little master, otherwise who will inherit our Hou Mansion? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.
Mu Bo, who had been happily watching everyone laughing, drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, "Whether it is the little lady or the little young master, as long as I Mu Lin is here, no one else can take away this Anle Hou Mansion." ”
was originally a happy meal, but it was a little heavy at the back, and everyone drank and scattered.
As the night deepened, the lights in the courtyards of the Anle Hou Mansion gradually went out, and people fell asleep one after another, leaving only the night patrol people shuttling back and forth.
In the silent darkness, the sound of "dong dong" was particularly obvious.
The garden that was thriving and pleasing during the day was now dark, and the rustling sound of the dense leaves was somewhat eerie.
At the entrance of the garden, a black shadow suddenly broke in, moving as fast as a gust of wind, and with only one dodge, the black shadow disappeared into the west side of the garden.
And the west of Anlehou Mansion is where the treasury is located.
Soon after the black shadow disappeared, two more black shadows appeared under the shade of the trees on the south side of the garden, one tall and thin, and the other short and fat, quietly following him, and disappeared together in the west corner of the garden.
The man in black, who was acting alone in front, quickly arrived at the storeroom, and as soon as he turned over, he crossed the fence, as if entering and exiting the flat ground. The two men in black who followed him leapt forward and jumped onto a leafy tree, merging with the tree so that no one could notice it.
Seeing that the black shadow in front of him had already entered the attic, the short and fat man made an inquiring gesture to his companion, and the tall and thin man in black pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said in a low voice, "You go to report the news, act carefully, and make sure that... Safe! ”
The short and fat man in black glanced at him suspiciously, a little puzzled by his companion's order, but he still flew away quickly, and quickly disappeared in place.
After the black-clothed man in front entered the attic, he looked at the dense brocade boxes placed in front of him, and he was a little at a loss.
He had thought of the current situation when he received the order before, the guards of the Anle Hou Mansion were notoriously tight, and it was extremely difficult to escape with his whole body, let alone to search for the treasures needed by his superiors in such a short period of time.
The man in black glanced around, but in the end he didn't touch anywhere, retreated from the attic the same way, and immediately turned around and rushed towards the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
The black-clothed man hiding in the tree chased after him and went straight to the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
There was silence in the attic.
Wu'an Hou Mansion, Mu Zi played a set of boxing techniques in the courtyard, feeling that his physical fitness was gradually rising, and his sensory acuity had also reached a new stage, although the overall improvement speed was not comparable to the past, but this slight progress was also a good phenomenon.
After taking a bath, Mu Zi asked Ah Gui and Mama Xu to rest, she didn't need anyone to keep vigil, and she didn't have such a habit in the past.
Ah Gui hesitated for a moment before leaving the bedroom with Mu Zi's repeated confirmation.
Ah Gui returned to his room, and just rested for a long time, when he suddenly heard a bird cry outside, the sound was very regular, two long and one short, Ah Gui bounced up from the bed and jumped out of the window.
"Uncle Zhang? What happened? Ah Gui saw a dark shadow hidden behind the tree, and asked in a low voice in surprise.
"Huh? You little girl, how do you know it's me! The man was dressed in black, and his face was covered with a black cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes.
"Uncle Zhang, with your figure, it's hard to recognize it!" Ah Gui rolled his eyes, and then said, "What's important, why don't you say it during the day today?" ”
The short and chubby black shadow glared at Gui angrily, "Your grandfather said you had no rules, and that's true!" Seeing that Ah Gui was about to refute, the man didn't give her a chance, and said first, "Someone broke into the Hou Mansion at night, the boss is not at ease, let me come over and tell you to protect the good lady!" ”
This Hou Mansion naturally refers to the Anle Hou Mansion.
"Huh? You didn't take the man down? Does he still have the strength to come here? Ah Gui's eyes widened and she was a little surprised, she felt that she could go to the Anle Hou Mansion to break through the whole body, and the person who could return the strength to break into the Wu Anhou Mansion had not yet been born.
"The boss is probably going to exercise Miss?" This is also where the man in black is puzzled, and he only thought of this possibility on the way to the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
"Oh!" Gui shrugged, "Then I'll go here and guard outside Miss's bedroom." ”
Ah Gui yawned, turned around and wanted to go back the same way, when she suddenly saw the person standing behind her, she couldn't help but shudder, rubbed her eyes, and made sure she was right, "Miss?" ”
