Chapter 412: Unprecedented Tension
Mu Xiaofeng really wanted to scold him for deserving it, but for the sake of his own brother, it would be better to save him some face.
Qin Xianglan lightly dismantled the layers of cloth bags, and it took a long time to finally reveal the jade pendant wrapped inside.
However, she held the jade pendant, still hesitating, and hesitated for a long time without handing it to Mu Shaoxuan.
"Young Master," Qin Xianglan held the jade pendant hard, and looked at Mu Shaoxuan with wide eyes and trust, "You just look at this jade pendant, right?" ”
Mu Shaoxuan was a little uncomfortable and turned his gaze, "Miss Qin, what you sent out......"
"The water that was spilled," Mu Xiaofeng smiled and groaned, "right, brother?" ”
Mu Shaoxuan nodded, Qin Xianglan was obviously relieved, Mu Xiaofeng's eyes rolled, and the bottom of his eyes turned both a faint coolness and a faint cunning.
When she smiled and grabbed the words, she had already turned her head to make a look at Qingruo beside her.
Just when Qin Xianglan was obviously relieved, Qing Ruo had already stepped in front of Qin Xianglan with an arrow step, and grabbed and stuffed it with her left and right hands at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, he grabbed the jade pendant that Qin Xianglan was holding in his hand, and then stuffed the silver ticket over.
Mu Xiaofeng saw Qing Ruo bend the corners of her mouth proudly, and then squinted happily, and said very happily before everyone could react, "Since this jade pendant is equivalent to silver in Miss Qin's hands, I think it is better to directly convert it into silver, now it's okay, this splashed water brother will definitely not take it back." ”
"I think, Miss Qin, who came to repay the favor, you won't have to ask my brother to make it difficult to take back the water that has been spilled, right?"
In a word, Mu Xiaofeng can account for all aspects of the truth.
Qin Xianglan will come back to her senses, even if she is unwilling, there is no way to snatch back the jade pendant from Qingruo's hands.
"Actually, I think exchanging this jade pendant for silver is a good thing for Miss Qin." Mu Xiaofeng smiled slightly, and looked at Qin Xianglan, whose face was pale and black, with an expression that you earned, "Don't you know, brother, in order to train his carving, he has recently taken a lot of this jade pendant to practice." ”
This sentence, on the one hand, revealed to Qin Xianglan a message that they were very rich.
On the other hand, what Mu Xiaofeng wanted her to understand was that you wanted to occupy this jade pendant to climb to the position of the young grandmother of Mufu, which was pure wishful thinking. Because of such a jade pendant, her brother and young master got a lot.
Of these, who knows if there will be someone in the same situation as her? It can be seen that the road of forcing relatives through jade pendants will not work.
Mu Shaoxuan glanced at the girl with a smug smile on her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but pull helplessly. This sister, can't you pit him once and a half? When did he carve a lot of similar jade pendants in order to train his carving?
Mu Xiaofeng looked at Qin Xianglan's instantly blue and white face, and his heart finally became happy.
The purpose of this temptation and blow has been achieved, so let's appease it first, and let Qin Xianglan taste the sweetness.
"Brother, aren't you going to Yuexinju to visit your mother?" Mu Xiaofeng glanced at him, but walked towards Qin Xianglan at his feet, "I also want to take Miss Qin to the Agarwood Garden over there to have a look, so that we can make arrangements, let's leave it at that." ”
When he arrived at Agarwood Garden, Mu Xiaofeng also led Qin Xianglan through with great enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, and then said to his subordinates, "Miss Qin will live here in the future, you have to serve her wholeheartedly, you know?" ”
"Don't worry, the slaves and maids will serve Miss Qin well."
Hearing the uniform response, Mu Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction, "If Miss Qin needs anything, just ask." ”
After the arrangements were made, Mu Xiaofeng left.
Qin Xianglan didn't dare to really regard herself as the master, but in the respectful "Miss Qin, please use tea, Miss Qin, please eat ......", she gradually had the consciousness of being the owner of this Agarwood Garden.
remembered what Mu Xiaofeng had instructed before, let her ask for anything, and she didn't have to be polite.
Qin Xianglan looked at the girl ring standing in front of her with her head bowed respectfully, completely forgetting what Mu Yongchao had said to her before, she was already satisfied with the flowers in front of her.
"...... all of these," she raised her hand and pointed to the Nanmu furniture in the Agarwood Garden, and said disgustedly, "I have changed them all." ”
The eldest lady had instructed to serve this Qin girl "wholeheartedly", so Qin Xianglan was commanding in the Agarwood Garden, and the subordinates had to swallow their anger and do what she told them.
"I don't know what Miss Qin wants to change to?" A subordinate looked at the furniture that had been emptied out with sorrow, and asked boldly, "The furniture in the warehouse can't be moved casually. ”
When Qin Xianglan heard the first half of the sentence, she was still elated, but as soon as the second half of the sentence fell, her face also lengthened.
"Why am I moving? Didn't the eldest lady tell you what I need? Do you dare to disobey the words of the eldest lady? ”
The subordinate only asked more questions with good intentions, vaguely reminding her that since she lived in as a guest, she should be a low-key person, but it was obvious that her kindness was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs.
Qin Xianglan is not uncommon, her reminder and guidance.
Take the eldest lady to press her?
The subordinate sneered in his heart, it was the eldest lady who ordered that she could take whatever she wanted to this Qin girl, she was indeed nosy.
Since the eldest lady had greeted her in advance, she obviously had something to think of this Qin girl.
The person who offended the eldest lady didn't even know how he died, let alone the Qin girl in front of him didn't even know where she offended the eldest lady.
"The girl is discouraged, and the slaves and maids will immediately change all the furniture as you ask."
The best nanmu furniture is not needed, but it should be replaced with outdated mahogany placed in this small warehouse, and then this girl's wish will be fulfilled!
An hour later, Qin Xianglan looked at the red in the room, and her mood brightened up.
She touched this for a while, sat and sat for a while, her eyes flashing all the time, and her mouth kept smiling, as if she had become the true master of this Mu Mansion.
After satisfying the small courtyard where she lived, she finally remembered the fundamental reason why she was able to stay in Mufu.
Qin Xianglan found out that Zhao Ziyue had been lingering on the sickbed and needed someone to serve and take care of her, and when she thought of going to a person who had died for most of her life, she felt a deep disgust in her heart.
However, for the sake of long-term future planning, she decided to temporarily "wrong" herself and went to Yuexinju to express her determination to repay her kindness.
"As long as I go for three or five days to get acquainted, then I will find an excuse for my wife to persuade me not to go again, and I will take advantage of the situation."
It's a pity that Qin Xianglan thought very well.
The reality is that she can't even enter the door of Yuexin's home. Because the lady has something to say, it is really not suitable to see guests when she is sick.
This is to directly point out the identity of Qin Xianglan's guest residence, and it also shows that she does not mean to let Qin Xianglan change from an outsider to "her own person".
Qin Xianglan, who was "politely rejected", couldn't go to Yuexinju to show her heart of repaying her kindness, so she had to shift her target to Mu Shaoxuan.
It's a pity that Mu Shaoxuan has a public office, and he has little time in the house, and when he returns to the mansion, he will either accompany his wife Zhao in Yuexinju or discuss political affairs with the old man Mu Tianda in Yazhu Courtyard.
It was not easy for Qin Xianglan to see him, let alone anything else. As for entering Mu Shaoxuan's courtyard to serve him? She can only think about this in her heart.
Not to mention that Mu Shaoxuan is not used to having a servant girl by his side, even if he wants to get used to it, Mu Xiaofeng will not give him a chance to get used to it.
In his yard, except for the little maid or uncle, in short, not even a single tree will be a mother.
After being bored, Qin Xianglan's repayment has become an indefinite guest residence.
Although she lived in Mufu without relatives and no reason, Mu Xiaofeng had already secretly instructed her subordinates not to snub her in the slightest.
Therefore, after Qin Xianglan lived in this guest house for a long time, she almost forgot her rootless duckweed-like identity, and she was already a member of Mufu.
On this day, she came out of the Agarwood Garden and walked around in the Mufu Garden, but suddenly unexpectedly saw a lonely figure standing in the corner of the garden, standing quietly looking at a certain place.
Qin Xianglan looked at her line of sight with wide eyes in some surprise, and happened to see someone hurrying away, and at this time, she had already recognized that the young man in green shirt who had gone away was Mu Shaoxuan. When he looked back at Ji Yuan again, his eyes were so thick that he couldn't even hide his long and thick eyelashes.
She knew Ji Yuan, and she had always thought that Ji Yuan was the female doctor who was responsible for taking care of Mrs. Zhao's decoction. But for now, it seems clear that the young female doctor is not only thinking about taking care of patients.
"I'm here to repay my kindness in Mufu, I don't know if Miss Ji is in Mufu or not, what is the picture?"
The strong sour words sounded on the ground, Ji Yuan only turned his head and glanced at her indifferently, and then turned around to leave.
Qin Xianglan chased after her very angrily, stood in front of her and stretched out her arm to stop her, and tried her best to sarcastically mock her, "I know, Miss Ji stared at the eldest young master just now, you are staying in Mufu and not leaving, it must be for the position of the eldest young grandmother." ”
Ji Yuan frowned, looked at her coldly, still pursed her lips, and ignored her sarcasm. His feet moved, ready to walk around her and walk forward.
Seeing her like this, Qin Xianglan became more and more jealous and annoyed in her heart, chased after her, and even her voice became sharp and sharp, "What? In such a hurry to leave, I was told that the center was empty? ”
Ji Yuan's cold eyebrows rose with a hint of impatience, glanced at her indifferently, and still did not open his mouth to defend himself.
However, she stared hard at the arm she stopped, gave the maid Zhu'er next to her a look, and Zhu'er, who was snorting angrily and gritting her teeth, immediately straightened her chest and slammed into Qin Xianglan's arm.
Seeing this, Qin Xianglan subconsciously quickly retracted her hand.
As soon as the obstacle in front of him was removed, Ji Yuan hooked his lips slightly, pursed his eyes and stepped over without squinting.
Zhu'er, who stayed behind, couldn't help but stare at Qin Xianglan with raised eyebrows, if it weren't for Ji Yuan's strict order, she would definitely open her mouth and ridicule Qin Xianglan to the end.
However, even if she clenched her teeth and made herself dumb, it still couldn't stop her from clearly expressing her anger and disdain to Qin Xianglan.
In addition to glaring at Qin Xianglan, Zhu'er also snorted very unceremoniously from her nostrils.
After humming, Zhu'er held her head high, and chased Ji Yuan away with a majestic posture.
In the distance, there seemed to be Ji Yuan's cold but mocking voice in the wind, "Repay the favor? ”
Qin Xianglan's originally faintly blue face was so red that it could almost drip blood.
She clenched her fists, looked at Ji Yuan's cold back, and shouted unwillingly, "I'm here to repay the favor." ”
However, what she shouted to her, whether it was Ji Yuan or the maidservant Zhu'er, had already gone away, even if she heard her self-deceptive shout, no one would pay attention to it.
"Isn't it just half-heartedness? What kind of doctor is benevolent here? Qin Xianglan gritted her teeth angrily, "Actually, everyone knows what the purpose is." ”
What else is pretending to be high in front of her!
After she finished this sarcastically, her mood seemed to improve, and she lowered her head and walked towards the Agarwood Garden while kicking the stones under her feet.
After she left, Mu Shaoxuan, who was supposed to go away a long time ago, suddenly appeared in a corner of the garden.
No one knew when he went and returned, but judging from his faintly dark displeasure at the moment, he should not have missed Qin Xianglan's ridicule and sarcasm against Ji Yuan just now.
Thinking of Ji Yuan, Mu Shaoxuan couldn't help frowning and sighing in his heart.
The past is messy enough, and now there is another Qin Xianglan who specializes in making trouble, he holds his head and moans with a headache, what should he do if he and her are still messy?
Xiaoxiao - I really don't know why this sister kept her here to take care of her mother in the first place.
Mu Shaoxuan shook his head with a headache and turned around and walked away, until he couldn't see his figure, and only then did a girl wearing a light violet skirt come out of the corridor at the edge of the garden.
"Brother," Mu Xiaofeng glanced in the direction he was leaving, and pursed his lips strangely, "Sometimes I really want to knock on your elm head to see, what do you have in this brain?" ”
Mu Xiaofeng smiled a little helplessly, and turned around and went back to Fenglin Ju with this idea that he could only think about but could not implement.
However, she had just entered her yard, and before she could even drink a glass of water, she suddenly saw the red shadow hurriedly walking into the courtyard with no nervousness.
Qing Ruo, who was walking towards the pavilion with a teapot, just saw her look, and her heart chuckled, and her legs immediately began to weaken without obeying the call.
Looking at Mu Xiaofeng, who had just sat down in the pavilion, almost pleadingly, he whispered nervously and quickly called, "Miss! ”
The voice was so frightened that even a trill ran out.
Mu Xiaofeng was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise, "Qingruo, what are you shaking?" "I wonder if she didn't punish Qingruo, what is Qingruo trembling?
It's just that she noticed that Qing Ruo's voice was trembling, so Mu Xiaofeng didn't even raise her head, she was still supporting her head with her hands, thinking about something.
will ask Qingruo, just subconsciously concerned.
Who knew that Qingruo almost immediately pleaded with a crying voice, "Miss......"
As soon as her voice fell, Mu Xiaofeng felt that this pavilion, well, not only the pavilion, but the atmosphere of the entire courtyard of Fenglin Residence had changed.
It seems that even the atmosphere has become more tense than ever
