Unexpectedly, Yan or the name of Sun Shan.

Mu Xiaofeng knew the result for the first time, and only raised his eyebrows coldly and smiled, "I know what kind of goods he is, don't think that you can really become full of ink when you are dressed in black." ”

If he has the ability, he will directly become a squid!

A lot of money was spent, a lot of energy was spent, and the result was -- only such an unsatisfactory result.

On the day of the release of the results, Yan or Shi directly locked himself in the study after knowing the results, and sat in it with a black face for a day.

"Hasn't he come out yet?" Mu Mingyue looked at the subordinate who came to report the news, and she was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, "How long does he want to stay inside?" ”

A complaining tone, a dissatisfied look.

When Yan or Shi came out of the study, what he saw was Mu Mingyue who lost her temper with a gloomy face.

He glanced at her coldly, and walked out without saying a word.

"Yan or Shi, where are you going? Stop! ”

Yan or Shi's body was sluggish, but his footsteps still did not stop, his eyes sank, and he walked to the side hall without looking back, ignoring the woman who was angry and roaring at him behind him.

Aunt Zhang didn't raise her to have the calm bearing that everyone should have, and no matter how gentle and generous she pretended to be on the surface, she couldn't change the competitiveness in her bones.

However, Mu Mingyue felt that in this mansion, it was still the mansion in the name of her dowry, and she felt that she was full of confidence, and she was the thickest and straightest person in the family.

Yan or Shi used his actions to show her the most direct and powerful contempt, which made Mu Mingyue, who had a princess's temper and no princess's life, very angry.

She almost didn't even think about it, she couldn't stop Yan or Shi's footsteps behind her, and immediately stood up angrily, chasing Yan or Shi to the side hall.

Yan or Shi was closed in the study all day, and he was hungry and thirsty at the moment, coupled with repeated frustrations and extremely bad mood, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to this Mu Mingyue, who could play the temper of the eldest lady but had no means of the eldest lady.

When he entered the side hall and sat down, he ordered someone to bring food, and he was burying his head in eating, when Mu Mingyue rushed in angrily.

Seeing that he didn't even raise the corner of his eye, Mu Mingyue felt that he was seriously despised and neglected; Gritted his teeth, without saying a word, he went over and pulled the tablecloth, and the food on the table was suddenly swept to the ground with a "bang".

"Eat, I'll let you eat."

The subordinates were stunned, such a fierce and spicy second lady really completely subverted their perception of her in the past.

Yan stood up slowly, and elegantly dusted off his robe splashed with vegetable juice.

His face was gloomy and he didn't get angry, but he stared at Mu Mingyue's eyes, and the flickering cold light slashed straight through like an invisible blade, "Mu Mingyue, don't try to provoke me again, there is a limit to human patience." ”

His voice could even be said to be gentle, but Mu Mingyue was stared at by his terrifying eyes, and instantly felt that the hairs on his body stood on end.

A chill surged from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and she suddenly feared this man with a gentle face and cold eyes from the bottom of her heart.

"I ......"

Yan or Shi glanced at her indifferently, saw the fear unconsciously revealed in her eyes, and slightly hooked his lips and sneered.

A woman who is strong on the outside and dry in the middle can only be used as an ornament.

Ignoring Mu Mingyue, whose eyes were trembling, he turned his head and ordered, "Get me some more food." ”

Of course, the table was quickly rearranged, and Yan Qishi's face had returned from the original frightening gloom to his former modest and polite appearance.

He glanced at Mu Mingyue and said softly, "Madam, come and eat with me." ”

Mu Mingyue subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she remembered his cold eyes just now, her heart shrank inexplicably; After thinking about it, he slowly walked over with his head down.

Yan or Shi waited quietly, and when he saw that she was well-behaved and obedient and leaned over, a smile appeared on his face, and he diligently arranged the dishes and chopsticks for her, "Mingyue, this is your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, come and taste it." ”

Mu Mingyue bit the ribs in small bites like chewing wax, and looked at this man who could turn his face and not recognize people in an instant with a complicated look in the corners of his eyes, he could actually do it in the blink of an eye as if nothing had happened, gentle and gentle to you.

Bitter, astringent, fearful and frightened emotions slowly welled up in my heart.

Yan or Shi looked at her obviously not liking, but she didn't dare to refuse, and kept biting the ribs in small bites, and finally showed a slight satisfaction and shallow ridicule in her eyes.

"Mingyue, I've thought about it, tomorrow I will continue to go out to sell calligraphy and paintings; But go ahead and prepare me some taels of silver. ”

Mu Mingyue was stunned, and the ribs carried by the chopsticks immediately fell to the ground.

"You, still want to go out to sell calligraphy and paintings?"

Her eyes were shocked and full of disbelief, "You're not afraid of other people's jokes?" ”

Probably Yan or Shishi's modest and polite appearance in front of him was too deterrent, Mu Mingyue was so shocked that she forgot about his terrifying appearance just now, and when she saw that he didn't snort, she immediately shouted with a hysterical collapse, "You don't have a face, I still want a face, I don't allow you to go out to set up a stall to sell calligraphy and paintings." ”

"Face?" Yan or Shi smiled coldly, "Mu Mingyue, let me tell you, when others are willing to give face, you will have a face." ”

"Long hair and short knowledge, it's a woman like you." His face sank, and his eyes slowly became cold again, "Besides, I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of setting up a stall to sell calligraphy and paintings, at least I'm also self-reliant." ”

Maybe it was too much shock, Mu Mingyue dared to look at him sarcastically, and sneered, "I can't see that you are still a person who can bend and stretch." ”

Yan or Shi looked at her coldly, "It's not too late to know now!" "What decent face? When you are qualified to talk about this, others will be willing to give you decency.

If it weren't for the fact that Mu Mingyue, a woman, didn't accept his father, how could his father-in-law always refuse to introduce a few officials to him.

If he wants to get acquainted with people in the officialdom, he can only do so in this way. However, the connections he had accumulated before were still useful.

He is confident that if he does not pass the imperial examination, he will definitely be able to go straight to the official career in another way.

Mu Mingyue saw that she couldn't convince him, and thought that she would have to rely on this man for the rest of her life, so she could only press down and say coldly, "You can set up a stall, what do you want me to do with the money?" ”

Yan or Shi glanced at her lazily, "Let you prepare, you will prepare for me, I will naturally not do useless work." ”

In the next few days, the two people who hated each other were fine, and Yan or Shi seemed to be really backbone, going to set up a stall every morning and returning late.

Until one day, Yan or Shi rushed back to the side hall, and when he saw Mu Mingyue, he immediately showed a smile full of liking, and said to her mysteriously, "Raise money for me, the sooner the better." ”

Mu Mingyue immediately looked at him vigilantly, "How much?" ”

Yan Qishi smiled and raised his palm to her, stretched out his straight five fingers and shook it.

"Five thousand?" Mu Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, although the amount was a bit much, she could barely raise it.

Yan He shook his head and spoke slowly, "It's fifty thousand taels of silver." ”

"Fifty thousand?" Mu Mingyue stood up in shock, squinting at him suspiciously, "What are you going to do?" How could so much silver be needed all of a sudden? ”

"Fifty thousand is a lot." He sneered, his eyes calm and disdainful, "As long as this thing is done, it won't be difficult for us to ask for two and fifty thousand in a short time." ”

Mu Mingyue lowered her face and stared at him with flickering eyes, thinking of his actions a few days ago, her eyes slowly widened, "Are you using this silver to buy officials?" ”

Yan or Shi seemed to smile and raised his eyebrows, disapproving of her surprise, "Money can make ghosts grind, and besides, this kind of thing is not the first person I have done, and it will definitely not be the last." ”

Mu Mingyue frowned and said cautiously, "What if, it's a liar?" ”

Yan He smiled and affirmed categorically, "Absolutely not." ”

"But where do I get so much silver?" Mu Mingyue still didn't dare to be gullible, so she softened her tone and tried to dispel his stubborn thoughts, "If we are deceived, we will have nothing." ”

Yan or Shi sneered, "Are you willing to live such a life?" Guarding that little bit of dowry, and being looked down upon forever? ”

Mu Mingyue was aroused by his vanity, but she didn't lose her cool impulsively, so she only said strongly, "What if you are unwilling, you can't pass the imperial examination, this kind of thing is too risky, I don't approve of it." ”

"I'm the head of the family, and if I want to take the money, I'll take the money." Yan or Shi suddenly sank his face, and his attitude became tough and arrogant.

Mu Mingyue was forced by his eyes, lowered her head a little fearfully, and her voice softened immediately, "But, with so much silver, where can I raise it?" ”

She glanced at him quietly, and her tone showed helplessness, "The expenses of the past few days have already spent my dowry, and now I have to take out 50,000 taels ......, how can you let me conjure it?" ”

Yan or Shi stared at her beautiful face, there was no pity and joy in her eyes, only patience and impatience.

After thinking about it, he said as a matter of course, "You don't, you won't go back and ask Aunt Zhang for it." ”

Mu Mingyue wanted to say that her aunt had taken out most of her private rooms for the sake of her marriage.

However, she thought about it and felt that Yan or Shi was reasonable.

Even if Aunt Zhang didn't have it, she, who was a daughter, went back and reached out to her to ask for it, and she could still think of getting her silver.

has a family as big as Mufu, I believe that with only tens of thousands of taels of silver, Aunt Zhang will definitely be able to help her get it.

The next day, Mu Mingyue didn't even hand back the letter, so she went back to Mu Mansion directly to see Aunt Zhang.

Of course, she went back to ask for silver this time, so naturally she didn't dare to make a big splash. When she went back quietly, even the old lady didn't dare to visit, so she went directly into Aunt Zhang's Drifting Snow Pavilion.

"Mother," met in Piaoxue Pavilion, Mu Mingyue's nose suddenly became sore, and she couldn't help crying.

No matter how bad this mother is, she used to protect her in the house.

But now, she is married, and if that man treats her badly, her life will be over.

"Good boy, what's wrong with you?" Aunt Zhang was immediately shocked when she saw her crying. She always knew that this daughter was gentle and weak on the surface, but she was actually stronger than anyone else. "Uncle treats you badly? Are you angry? ”

Mu Mingyue thought about it for a while, and then threw herself into Aunt Zhang's arms, lying on her shoulder, only shaking her head and sniffing vigorously, but she didn't speak.

Aunt Zhang listened to her sobbing, and her heart suddenly hurt into pieces, and she remembered that this daughter seemed to have never let her hold her since she was sensible.

Not to mention that he took the initiative to throw himself into her arms like now, he must have suffered a great grievance.

Aunt Zhang's heart was soft and uncomfortable, patting her on the back to comfort her, and said softly, "Don't cry, if you have something to say, my mother will definitely help you find a way." ”

Aunt Zhang's heart softened and hurt again, and she didn't notice it at all, and her daughter, who had been crying on her shoulder, didn't leave a single tear from beginning to end.

If she pushed Mu Mingyue away at this moment, she would definitely see that Mu Mingyue had a cold and indifferent look in her eyes in addition to her red eyes.

"Mother, I haven't been wronged, I just want to ask you for help with something." Mu Mingyue lay on her shoulder, and her voice came out muffled from a low voice.

Aunt Zhang sounded more like a nasal voice that had cried, and her heart immediately twitched fiercely, and when Mu Mingyue was forced to marry Yan He, she always felt a little ashamed of this daughter in her heart.

So at this moment, when she heard that Mu Mingyue had something to ask her for, she immediately cheered up, "What's the matter, you say?" ”

"Mother, I want silver, I need a sum of silver." Mu Mingyue didn't know how to write the word polite at all, but she hugged Aunt Zhang and pretended to cry for a long time, feeling that the family drama was enough, and she went straight to her mind as soon as she opened her mouth.

Aunt Zhang was stunned, "In your dowry, in addition to those money-making shops, didn't I also prepare a silver ticket for you?" ”

"Why, is it possible that all those silver tickets have been used up these days?"

Mu Mingyue chuckled in her heart, and when she heard her suspicious tone, she immediately inhaled and said sullenly, "Mother, you don't know me and ...... We just started living in a single house, and there are many places to use money. ”

Aunt Zhang suddenly remembered that it seemed that she had never taught this daughter how to take care of the housework over the years.

"Mingyue, tell me the truth, did you cheat the money I prepared for you?"

Although Aunt Zhang didn't hear the rumors about Yan or Shi's scientific examination, she thought that Mu Mingyue was not good at managing money, and it was very likely that she was deceived out of her money because she was gullible about others.

Mu Mingyue naturally wouldn't tell her the truth, and besides, she was reluctant to reveal a little bit of news to anyone before Yan or Shi needed a large amount of money to buy an official.

If this thing doesn't work out in the end, she doesn't make people laugh at it for nothing.

Even if this person is the mother who gave birth to her, her thoughts turned, and Mu Mingyue had already made up her mind, "Mother, I haven't been deceived, I just need money urgently, it's money waiting for life, if you still treat me as your daughter, you can help me." ”

Mu Mingyue is both soft and hard, Aunt Zhang really feels sorry for her, how can she not be soft-hearted and unwilling to help.

She sighed, and looked at her married daughter helplessly, "Mingyue, since you don't want to say it, I won't force it, but you should be careful about everything." ”

"Although money is said to be external things, without these external things, where do we eat and drink from?" Aunt Zhang looked at her earnestly, patted her on the back, and turned to look through the drawer under her dressing table
