Chapter 33, Care
The eldest lady who calmed down naturally couldn't easily let go of her aunt and her children, the backyard was enlarged, the courtyard was built, and a partition wall was built, and the new house was just laid as soon as the foundation was laid, and the shogunate was ordered to stop work on the grounds of the imperial examination of the son-in-law.

Although Mu Chenxue is on guard everywhere, after all, he is still not used to this kind of life that does not count people and cannot live, seeing that the midsummer is coming, if the new house cannot be built before the dog days, this summer will be difficult to suffer. And if the situation of the eldest lady is not broken at this time, it is impossible to predict whether the new house will be able to start as scheduled.
Just when the morning snow was sad, the little servant Fang Yan came to pass the word, and the son of the second master, Mu Yu, had something to ask to see.
"Please come into the house, my cousin, the yard is very chaotic, and there is no place to put your feet!" Although men and women must be guarded, there are indeed many inconveniences in the backyard at the moment, but fortunately, there are also maids around Mu Chenxue, as long as the door is not closed, there will be no gossip.
Mu Yu has long wanted to come to the backyard to visit this cousin.,But I haven't been idle.,These days, I follow the master to study with the lobby brother Mu Peng.,And was detained by his mother Liang's family.,Today, if the master hadn't asked for leave and dispersed the family study an hour in advance.,Mu Peng went out to meet guests and didn't return.,I'm afraid that this time will not be free.。
"I've seen five cousins!" Mu Yu couldn't hide his joy when he saw Mu Chenxue's face, so he gave a salute first, and then sat down.
Where will Mu Chenxue really accept his courtesy, and it is considered a return gift after helping him, please sit down and watch the tea before asking Mu Yu the purpose of coming, "Seeing that I am going to have dinner, why did my cousin come over here?" The second uncle can't find anyone, but I'm afraid I'm going to be in a hurry? ”
"Father and mother are out for a visit, and they haven't returned home yet! My fifth cousin has been sick these days, and I have long wanted to come and see it, but I just can't be free! Mu Yu's face was shy, and the more he spoke, the quieter he became, like a child who had done something wrong.
"I'm fine, my cousin also knows, my father not only made up the monthly allowance in the backyard, but also bought slaves for us to build a house, this life is more comfortable than before!" Although Mu Chenxue doesn't like to calculate and speculate on other people's thoughts, and she has never experienced the **** of men and women, she can still see that this cousin has some meaning to her after getting along twice.
"It's good that the fifth cousin is doing well! When I came to the backyard just now, I heard the maids say that the eldest aunt was afraid that the construction would affect the entrance examination of the elder brother in the lobby, so she had ordered the work to be stopped, and the fifth cousin did not need to be sad, and she would be able to continue to work in less than half a month. This scene looks honest, but his mind is delicate, and he can see that Mu Chenxue is worried about the shutdown.
"I'm afraid it's easy to stop work and difficult to resume work!" Others treat each other with sincerity, but Mu Chenxue has a little less scruples.
"This!" Makuyu has not been in this shogunate for a day or two, and even if he rarely enters the inner courtyard, he can also know the personality of the eldest lady. Their family is also raised by their uncle under the fence. Maybe it's because of this that I feel a little more sympathetic to what happened to Mu Chenxue.
Mu Chenxue was a little absent-minded, so after chatting for a few words, there was no sound. For these things in the inner courtyard, Mu Yu has never experienced it, so he is naturally powerless, "Fifth cousin, don't worry, if there is anything I can do, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
Mu Chenxue was thinking about her thoughts, and when she heard Mu Yu suddenly say this, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she was still trapped in a critical situation and couldn't save herself, but she had an idea at this time.
"Dare to ask my cousin, is there a place in this Ji County that specifically criticizes Najib? Or is it famous, with the Taoist view of becoming immortals? "The so-called poison with poison, since the eldest lady attacks it with feng shui, and Mu Qian is extremely superstitious, then she uses this as a spear to make a move.
Mu Yu couldn't think of why his cousin asked this, but he still knew these things, "Most of the fortune-telling and criticism in the county town go to Xiayunguan, and they all say that the Taoist chief there is very clever and clever!" ”
"Last month, my mother went to the Buddhist temple to pray for my brother's blessing, but I don't know if I have any plans to go to Xiayun Temple to approve my life?"
"I just heard from my mother a few days ago that my uncle and aunt plan to go to Xiayunguan tomorrow, won't the five cousins go together?"
"Brother Jiu and I also want to pray for the eldest brother, but I'm afraid that my mother won't like it!" After getting this exact news, a smile immediately appeared on Mu Chenxue's gloomy face. Mu Yu regretted his face, the fifth cousin used to live in the eldest aunt's place, when he entered the inner courtyard to ask for peace, he could still see each other, but since the fifth cousin moved to the backyard, he couldn't find a chance, he thought that they could travel together tomorrow, and there was still some expectation in his heart, but the fifth cousin didn't know about it, so it can be seen that the eldest aunt didn't plan to bring someone from the backyard at all.
Tomorrow, Mu Qian will also go with him, and the eldest lady will not let Aunt Cheng and her children have another chance to show their faces. Mu Yu simply couldn't think of this layer, but Mu Chenxue understood it in his heart.
"It's not too early, I only have tea and fresh water here, but I don't have any good food to greet my cousin!" Mu Chenxue still has something to arrange, and he is in a hurry to send off guests. Mu Yu also knew that it was inconvenient for him to stay in the backyard for a long time, so he had to get up and salute and leave.
sent Mu Yu away, Mu Chenxue found Jiang's mother and asked her to bring a message to her son and meet him outside the corner door.
These days, Jiang's mother often takes words out of the house, and she is still a little curious, but she is all prevaricated by Mu Chenxue with an excuse, and now the eldest lady makes it difficult, Jiang's mother understands that Miss has another idea, but she is not steady and a little worried, "Fifth Miss, the eldest lady didn't say that this house will not be built, why don't we wait a few more days?" ”
"I understand that there is a priority in everything, and if this matter is placed on ordinary people, it may not be a big deal, but for us who are oppressed everywhere, I am afraid that there is nothing more important than this. Mother Jiang rest assured, I will protect myself, my mother, and my brother, and I will not do anything excessive! Mu Chenxue has done these days, making such a promise, but it has no comforting effect, but fortunately, Jiang's mother is used to obeying orders, and although she is worried in her heart, she still helps Miss pass the word.
Tong Jiang came to the corner gate of the shogunate before the curfew, and Mu Chenxue only ordered him to prepare a set of juvenile clothes tomorrow morning, and then hire a boxcar to wait at the entrance of the alley, and the others did not give much instructions.
"Fifth Miss, are you going out of the city?" With the lessons of the past, Tong Jiang could guess that Miss Fifth was going to go out of the city in disguise again. Before, because of this, his mother didn't think much about it, if he helped Miss Fifth out of the city to let his mother know, I was afraid that he would have to discount his legs.
"Uncle Tong, don't worry, I will definitely persuade my mother this time, and I won't sneak out!" Last time, Aunt Cheng was almost scared sick, and Mu Chenxue didn't want to go through it again.
"That's good, that's good!" Tong Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, at least his leg was saved, but it was a great responsibility to take the fifth lady out of the city, but I was afraid that he would have to make more arrangements.
Sending Tong Jiang away, Mu Chenxue returned to the courtyard and stood at the door of Aunt Cheng's house, but she didn't dare to go in, if she wanted to persuade Aunt Cheng, she was afraid that it would be easier than going to see the eldest lady.
