Chapter 36 How to repay grievances with virtue
Mu Wu was thrown out of the door by Mu Qing and Annu.
Usually Mu Qing is a scholar, kind and generous, and his reputation is still good. Although it was just a small alley, the news spread quickly, and a stranger entered the courtyard of the Mu family, who looked quite rich, so he naturally attracted some attention.
And after Mu Qing went back, those few shouts were very noticeable, and it seemed that there was a fight here, everyone had a gossip heart, especially after Mu Wu was thrown out, and someone asked Mu Qing: "Do you want to report to the official?" ”
Mu Qing first smiled and thanked him, and then looked helplessly at Mu Wudao, who still couldn't get up: "It's okay, it's a crazy gambler, it's really shameless to say that I am his relative and let me raise him." ”
Everyone looked at Mu Wu's eyes and changed, more or less disdainful.
Gambling money is not good, Guizhou City has always been a place of books, gambling houses and brothels and other places are few, and most of the people are not good at that. It's just that this person gambles for money, and he has to slander people, Mu Xiaogongzi's good temper doesn't report to the official and cheapens him in vain. There was the one with a strong temper, who went up directly to make up for it, and then threw down his contemptuous eyes and went home.
Mu Qing asked Annu to go back first, but he squatted down after everyone left, staring at Mu Wu, his face was no longer indifferent just now, but with a faint smile: "I beat you, are you particularly unconvinced?" ”
Mu Wu glared at him and didn't speak.
"That's it, my son is kind and can't see people's grievances, and let you know why I beat you." The smile on Mu Qing's face deepened a little, he squinted his eyes at Mu Wu, pointed behind him, and then pointed at himself, "Because of the Mu family, with me, there is also the current one." I don't shy away from suing you, I know why the Mu family doesn't fall into my household registration, and I also know what your master is planning. ”
Mu Wu's eyes widened, but he stood up, leaning against the wall and panting, feeling that there was a bloody breath when he breathed, thinking that Mu Qing had broken his mouth just now.
Mu Qing stretched out his hand and touched a piece of silver in his arms, no more, no less, exactly five taels of silver.
"My life has the blood of the Mu family, and I will pay it off last time when I almost fell ill and died." Mu Qing's voice paused, in fact, a soul had disappeared, "The thing I brought out from the Mu family is exactly five taels of silver." ”
Mu Qing stood up and smiled warmly.
"Originally, it was reasonable for me to give you a little more, to show my boldness and courage, and to highlight your Mu family's pettiness and despicability. However, I'm just small-minded, and I won't give you any more money. ”
How to repay virtue with virtue?
Turned around and went into the yard and slammed the door shut. Mu Wu, who was only left sitting against the wall, stared at where his eyes were panting, and he couldn't say a word.
When Mu Qing entered the house, he saw An Nu sitting on a chair with his hands clasped together. The little face was pale, and his fingers were stirring around uneasily, and when he saw Mu Qing entering the house, Annu hurriedly stood up, and looked behind Mu Qing.
"Don't look, that old guy won't be able to get up for a while."
"Master......" When Annu looked at Mu Qing, his eyes were big and a little pitiful.
Mu Qing asked with a smile: "I saw you just now, you seem to be afraid of him, what's wrong?" Has he bullied you before? ”
Anu shook his head: "No, he is a person with a big shelf, and the people in the back house are afraid of him." ”
"Don't be afraid now, I see that the moment you hit him just now was sturdy, and he beckoned directly to the head." Mu Qing looked at Annu with a smile, pulled Annu's arm, and then smiled, "Do you have anything to eat?" I am hungry. ”
Annu then ran to the kitchen as if awakened, brought out the food that was warm in the pot, and put it on the table. Mu Qing paid his brain power and body again today, he was so tired that he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Annu was unsteady in eating, and occasionally looked out of the door, but he couldn't help asking: "Master, aren't you afraid that he will go to the yamen to sue us?" ”
"Sue us for what?" The mouth was stuffed with meat, and it was full, and Mu Qing's cheeks were bulging like a little squirrel, and he couldn't speak very clearly.
Anu pursed her lips and thought for a moment: "Sue ...... Sue us for beating him. ”
Mu Qing swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of tea, looked at Mu Qing and said with a smile: "Then let him sue, no one will pay attention to him." After adding chopsticks and putting the vegetables in the bowl, Mu Qing used the tips of the chopsticks to pick the carrots inside, "Our household registration is in Guizhou Mansion, and the roots are also here, do you have a deed of sale in their hands, and I am famous today, he ran in by himself, that is, he broke into the house, and he deserved to be killed." ”
Annu thought about it, and it was also the reason, but she was still a little uneasy: "What if the Mu family comes again?" ”
"Come and hit once, I'm not lying. If I dare to come again, I will not only fight, but also go to the government to make trouble, so that the yamen will beat him to the ground. ”
It's vulgar.
Annu decided to pretend that he didn't hear it, and let the matter go like this, looking at Mu Qing, and when Mu Qing was about to throw the carrot out of the bowl, Annu helped him back again: "Don't be picky." ”
Mu Qing reluctantly stuffed the vegetables into his mouth, and thought faintly in his heart that in the future, he must remove the evil vegetable carrot from the ranks of purchases.
Just as Mu Qing thought, he hadn't seen Mu Wu since then. Mu Qing chose Guizhou Mansion because there was no Mu family's property here, and now it seems to be very wise.
After all, the books in Mu Qing's house are limited, and the interval between the hospital test and the government test is very short, so he usually eats early and late when he has nothing to do, and then takes the bookcase to Deng Yuanshan's bookstore, Deng Yuanshan specially left a place for him, and used a screen to make a partition in the room, next to it is the window, which is bright after opening.
There are a lot of books in the library, but they are well categorized. Although Deng Yuanshan is a businessman, he earns the money of a scholar, so he naturally has to be more careful. Each book was bookmarked, and the category was written on it, which was convenient for Mu Qing.
"You're pretty idle." Mu Qing said to Deng Yuanshan, who was staring at him next to him, while looking for the book.
Deng Yuanshan smiled: "I have something to say to you, isn't it afraid of disturbing your Wen Shu, I'm waiting for you." ”
The corners of Mu Qing's eyes twitched: "It's better to always stare at me and make people hairy, it's better to say it directly." ”
Deng Yuanshan didn't beat around the bush with him, and handed over a book. Mu Qing took it and looked at the cover, but it was the legend of the White Snake. Deng Yuanshan clicked on the book: "The sales are good, but it is not as much as the dividends of the previous book." ”
"Hmm." Mu Qing nodded, after all, it is a short story, and the price is not as high as that of the West Chamber, which is understandable.
But Rao is so, and there are still dozens of taels in the account. Looking at a few thin silver tickets, Mu Qing smiled and couldn't see his teeth, and Deng Yuanshan only smiled and joked with him: "With your money-obsessed nature, you must go to the household department on an errand in the future, it is definitely a person who only enters but does not exit." ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll become a corrupt official?" Mu Qingle picked up the silver ticket and responded casually.
Deng Yuanshan held his chin and looked at him: "If you become a corrupt official, remember to sue me, brother, remember to give me a piece of the pie." ”
Mu Qing only kept laughing when he heard this, but Deng Yuanshan rolled his eyes and ignored him.
