Chapter 109, Pre-holiday Arrangements
Mu Chenxue planned to sneak out of the house on the day when his father and eldest lady went out to incense. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Nangong Shumo, who got the news, was not at ease and wanted to go with him to protect him, but was stopped by Feng Wu.
"Please rest assured, my subordinates will arrange more manpower to secretly protect Miss Mu, and will never let Miss Mu suffer any harm!" Nangong Shumo thought about it for a while, and knew in his heart that this was the best way, but he couldn't protect his sweetheart in person, so he was still a little worried.
The next day, Mu Chenxue got up early, accompanied his mother and younger brother to breakfast, and after sending his younger brother out, he changed into men's clothes and waited for the eldest lady to go out.
Aunt Cheng believes that if Jiang's mother's son protects her daughter, her daughter will not have any accidents, but when she saw that her daughter had changed her clothes, she couldn't hide her nervousness and worry. Mu Chenxue comforted her mother a few more words, and waited until the eldest lady's carriage and horse left the house, and then opened the corner door hidden in the firewood room in the backyard and sneaked out of the house.
Jiang's mother had already contacted her son yesterday, so Tong Jiang was waiting in the shogunate's backyard early in the morning. After Mu Chenxue went out, she was just about to go to the alley, when she heard someone behind her call her.
"Miss Maku! Miss Makugo! Fortunately, this voice is not unfamiliar, otherwise Mu Chenxue would have been scared of heart disease.
"Baoru! How are you? It's so early, but what does Big Brother Feng have to say? "The person who came was the daughter of the shopkeeper of Nangong Shumo's secret guard Sihai pawnshop, Baoru.
"Back to Miss Maku, Bao Ru was ordered by the master to protect Miss Maku!" How much the master cares about Miss Maku, no one else needs to say, even Baoru can see it. And Baoru admires Mu Chenxue's personality very much, so every time they meet, they are respectful.
"Brother Feng has a heart! Then there is Lao Bao to protect each other! Although the two don't see each other often, Mu Chenxue can feel Nangong Shumo's care and concern for her all the time, which makes it difficult for her not to be moved. And now that it is approaching the end of the year, there will be some unpeace in the city, and if there is one more person around to protect each other, at least one more layer of protection.
"The carriage and horses are waiting at the entrance of the alley, let's go!" Mu Chenxue glanced back at the locked corner door, and then called Shangbaoru towards the alley.
Tong Jiang thought that Miss Fifth was going out this time, and only he was the only one to protect her, but he didn't want Miss to have an extra girl with a sword next to her, who was less than twenty years old, and there was a murderous aura in her eyebrows.
"Fifth Miss, is this your personal guard?" Tong Jiang helped Miss Five to get into the car first, and then asked.
"A friend was afraid that I would have some accident when I went out of the house today, so he lent me his guard. Okay, hurry to the Grange, I don't have much time, I have to go back before the eldest lady returns home! As for Baoru's identity, Mu Chenxue didn't want to say more, but Tong Jiang is Jiang's mother's son, in case Tong Jiang asks Jiang's mother, I'm afraid that it will arouse my mother's suspicions, and then ask about Brother Feng's affairs, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to explain. It's better to reveal some to Tong Jiang now to avoid his suspicions.
Tong Jiang also knows that Miss Fifth can now have this family business, and there are high-ranking people behind her to help her, so she also feels reasonable and logical for such an explanation.
A group of three people, sitting in a carriage, went all the way out of Jixian County to the suburban grange.
Mu Chenxue checked the grange, told them to remember to fatten the land, and gave these subordinates a few months of increases, and gave red envelopes, and then returned to the city.
"Shopkeeper Tong, can these people in the Grange still be safe?" Mu Chenxue didn't ask these questions on the way when he came, and he just found out that the three families he bought didn't seem to be very close, so he asked this question.
"It's nothing! It's just because the three families were bought into the house together, but now only one of them is the steward of the grange, and the other two families are naturally a little uncomfortable. But the slave has already taught these people a lesson, and also punished them for the monthly routine, if it weren't for the fifth lady's kindness, thinking that they would have a good holiday, I wouldn't have sent any red envelopes to these people! Tong Jiang said it easily, but Mu Chenxue still heard a little impetuousness from these words.
"If you can use it, if you can't use it, don't raise them in vain, sell what should be sold, it's a big deal to buy more people!" She can't go out of the house from time to time, so these things have to be handed over to Tong Jiang, and she also believes that although Tong Jiang has never been in charge, she is willing to give Tong Jiang the opportunity to practice, after all, no one is born with everything. And Tong Jiang is also the only person she can trust except Nangong Shumo.
In addition to watching and listening to the eight directions to protect Miss Maku, Baoru certainly admires Miss Maku's management methods. So when I heard that the people on the grange were restless, I worried about her.
"Miss Maku, if Zhuangzi is understaffed, Bao will serve as he wishes!"
Mu Chenxue was talking to Tong Jiang through the car curtain, and she didn't want to avoid Baoru, but she didn't want Baoru to suddenly say such a sentence, and she couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart.
"Thank you!" Other words and other words seem redundant at this time. Baoru has always regarded herself as a slave, but at that moment just now, she really regarded Mu Chenxue as a friend. Because only when you are in trouble, you will see the preciousness of your friends. There are often some feelings, and it is in these little things that subtly change everything.
As soon as Baoru spoke, she knew that she had trespassed, and she wanted to bow her head and admit her mistake, but she didn't want Miss Mu not only didn't mind, but even thanked her. Let a warm current rise in her heart, slowly flowing through her body. In such a cold winter, it seems so warm in the windy carriage all around.
When I entered the city, I went to the shop and looked at it again. Now that there is a morning and evening tea business, the income has more than doubled in the past few months.
He gave red envelopes to all his subordinates, told them to pay more attention, and explained the days of closure and the opening of the shop, and then hurried back to the shogunate.
Before getting off the carriage, he took out a red envelope from his body and handed it to Tong Jiang, "The shopkeeper Tong has worked hard for the shop grange this year, and this red envelope will naturally be larger!" ”
"Fifth Miss, this can't be helped!" Tong Jiang said that he didn't want anything, if there was no young lady who squandered money and went into the mountains to collect medicine for him, I was afraid that he would have collapsed on the kang long ago. And since he followed Miss Five, he is leading the monthly routine on time and monthly, and now although he is not as rich as a rich family, he can live a comfortable life and save a lot of money.
"Let you take it, it's an order!" Mu Chenxue stuffed the silver into Tong Jiang's arms, and then stepped up and went straight to the shogunate.
Tong Jiang had to accept the red envelope and watched the young lady enter the shogunate, and then drove away.
And Baoru also received a red envelope containing two taels of silver, but she didn't dare to keep it, and finally handed over the silver to the master through her father. (To be continued.) )
