Mu Jinrou couldn't sit still less than a quarter of an hour after Mu Bowen left.

"Auntie, it's hard for you to get out of the palace once, can I go to the foodie to choose a few dim sum for you?" Mu Jinrou grinned and tried her best to please Concubine Mu.

Today's weather is good, and the sun in the early morning is gentle and gentle on people.

Concubine Mu looked very leisurely lying on the rattan rocking chair specially prepared for her by Mu Jinrou, but she just didn't let go of Mu Jinrou's proposal.

"You girl, you want to sneak along, right? Didn't my aunt say it, leave it all to your brother. This thing, the little girl's family has no future. ”

Mu Jinrou pouted unhappily, stepped forward to push her rocking chair, and pleaded again: "Auntie, you can always think of it." The niece didn't mean that, she just wanted to go out and buy some of the ...... that my aunt had said. Medicine. ”

Concubine Mu squinted her eyes and glanced at Mu Jinrou's small breasts, and chuckled: "Ouch, the girl has opened her mind." It's time for next year, and it's time to work hard. Go, buy more, come back, my aunt will teach you hand in hand, keep it and make my little girl a charming beauty. ”

Mu Jinrou was stunned, did she lift a stone to shoot herself in the foot? was very shy about this, but my aunt was embarrassed to take action in person?

"Hey, no. My niece can come by herself, then I'll go. "She was sloppy and sloppy with oil on the soles of her feet.

"This girl!" Concubine Mu smiled and shook her head, looking at the white clouds in the sky, she felt that such a life was really good. I really don't want to go back to that place where you can only see the slap of the sky.

Mu Jinrou went back to the room to clean up and took two bamboos and was ready to slip away, it was more secure to go out with lotus flowers. But the lotus mother and daughter still have a task, so they thought of a woman dressing up as a man. The three masters and servants put on their men's clothes and quietly walked to the back door.

The porter at the back door is still Daddy Hong, and he is quite enthusiastic when he sees Mu Jinrou. asked, "When will the county lord return?" Go back early, save the concubine from worrying, and the old slave will keep the door. ”

Mu Jinrou liked this old man very much, and promised: "Daddy Hong, don't worry, let's go out for a walk, buy some snacks and come back." Would it be good to bring a box of mung bean cakes to Daddy Hong then? ”

"Good, good! Thank you, Lord Shire. Daddy Hong laughed. Although he called himself an old slave, he did not have the humility that he should have as a janitor, but like a kind old man.

Mu Jinrou also likes to get along like this, so she happily went out the back door. Walk unhurriedly.

After walking a few steps, there was another question from Daddy Hong, "Alas, which room is this girl from?" What's the matter with going out? ”

Except for the Mu Jinrou brothers and sisters. Daddy Hong's backdoor doorman is still very competent.

I only heard the girl say, "Daddy Hong." I'm the third lady's girl, I want to go out to do something, please ask Daddy Hong to be accommodating. ”

Then I heard the sound of money, and I thought that I was using this thing to bribe Father Hong.

Hearing this, Mu Jinrou stopped and pricked up her ears to listen, when did Mu Jinpei become so generous? In her eyes, the people in the second room are all pickers, don't look at Mu Jinpei who pretends to be very generous on weekdays, but she knows that this girl follows her mother. It's also stingy.

"Daddy Hong, you can buy wine and drink these. I guess I'll be back late. You'll have to keep the door for me, and no one can say anything about me going out today, remember? ”

"Uh-huh, remember." Father Hong's voice was obviously a little excited, mixed with the sound of silver coins, "Miss Lan'er, where are you going, it's not safe for a girl's family to come back late, go back early." ”

"Well, got it. The master's work has to be done well as a slave, right? Let's go. Lan'er's tone was a little open-minded, but she simply walked out the back door and went directly in the opposite direction to Mu Jinrou.

Mu Jinrou turned around, and just saw Lan'er calling a car, getting in the car and running away.

"Where is this girl going?" Mu Jinrou wondered.

Lan'er is Mu Jinpei's personal maid, but Mu Jinpei's maids are very nonexistent, who calls this girl so strong. And she also has a characteristic of picking girls, that is, her appearance is definitely not as good as hers, and they are all capable types. Unlike Mu Jinsheng's two big girls, she was born with a charming look.

"If only the lotus flowers were there." Mu Jinrou sighed again, it was really inconvenient to have no kung fu around her.

But as soon as the words fell, Eleven jumped out of nowhere, wearing a hat on his head, dressed in a coarse cloth and short brown, and bowed to her and said, "County Lord, leave this matter to the little one, the little one who monitors people is doing it." ”

Mu Jinrou blinked, will this person be invisible? That's a good skill. "What about twelve?" ”

Eleven said: "Don't worry, the county lord will protect the county lord in secret." ”

"Okay, then you can go, just know where she went, just ask around. Don't take any risks if it's difficult, your own safety is the most important thing. Mu Jinrou earnestly instructed.

Eleven immediately thanked him and promised to complete the task.

Mu Jinrou watched him leave, and sighed again for the depth of the hierarchical concept in this society, "Alas, let's go, don't be too late." I really want to know what the scumbag dad will say, and whether he will cover up the Hu family for the sake of face. ”

Xinglong Building is still so lively, and the guests are as bustling as usual. No one knew that there was an important banquet in the large private room on the third floor.

As soon as Mu Jinrou came here, she found the fat shopkeeper, pulled him to a secluded place, and said with a smile: "Fat shopkeeper, can you always find us a small room near the big private room?" It's better to be able to listen to the root of the wall.

The fat shopkeeper's face twitched, and he knew that it would be good to see this aunt and grandmother in the morning, what does it mean to be able to listen to the root of the wall? This is simply a platform for demolishing their Xinglong Building.

He shook his fat head and ears vigorously, and denied: "No, no." We are opening a restaurant inn, how can there be that kind of room? If you let outsiders know who dares to live in Xinglong Building, isn't this a self-smashing signboard! ”

As soon as Mu Jinrou heard this, he threatened: "Do you know that I am the county lord of Jinrou?" Fat uncle, let's not talk darkly, let's act quickly. Otherwise, I will complain to the second young master of your family, saying that you are bullying me at a young age and not looking at it. ”

"It's ......." The fat shopkeeper is afraid, who doesn't know that she is the fiancée of the second young master of their family. This accusation is an agreement, he is still old and young, and he can't afford to be hurt.

It didn't take a moment. The fat shopkeeper surrendered, "The county lord, please come with the little one, this matter, you have to rot in your stomach, no one can say anything." ”

"Uh-huh." Mu Jinrou nodded again and again, beckoned the bamboos and followed the fat shopkeeper to the backyard.

Previously, Mu Jinrou only knew that there was a secret passage in Xinglong Building that could easily lead to the room he wanted to go to, but it was the first time he stepped on this secret passage.

This tunnel was built in the backyard. And it's built inside the wall, so it's hard to see anything unusual from the outside. You need to light up the dark passage to enter the dark passage, and it's very dark inside.

It didn't take long for Mu Jinrou to enter the third floor. I don't know how the fat shopkeeper goes. Anyway, out of the passageway, they were standing in a small room on the third floor.

The fat shopkeeper blew out the candle in his hand and said, "County Lord, you can take care of your mouth in this matter." ”

"Don't worry, am I the kind of person who loves to chew the root of my tongue?" Mu Jinrou grinned and said, "How do you listen to the root of the wall?" ”

The fat shopkeeper shook his head helplessly. Came to the room behind the screen. Open the door of a tall cabinet, there is a small glass mirror, through which you can see the whole picture of the large private room.

"Thank you!" Mu Jinrou opened her mouth and thanked her silently.

The fat shopkeeper accepted it with a smile, turned around and told her girls some ideas, and went downstairs to Zhang Luo tea and snacks, who made this aunt her future hostess!

On the other side of the glass mirror is a Bogu shelf, on which there are many small objects. In this way, this strange mirror is blocked, and it is even more difficult for people outside to detect.

I saw that Mu Shouzheng, father and son were welcoming guests. Some people like Mu Shouzheng who were idle at home came early, but those who needed to go to the court had to wait until the end of the early dynasty to arrive. There are also the elders of the Mu family, they live in the Mu family village in the far suburbs, and it is not easy to come back and forth, and no one has come to this point.

However, this is also in Mu Bowen's expectations, for today, he has already started planning a few years ago, especially those seemingly old and stubborn clan elders, who are actually greedy for money and snobbish. However, with all the good things of silver, today there are witnesses and witnesses, and there is support and support.

Soon, Li Yi came, and at the same time as him came the chief butler beside the prince, who came to observe on behalf of the prince. Then, the Dong family brothers and Ren Qianli also arrived, and they were Bai Forsythia's second uncle and Luo Erniang's uncle Bai Qiaosong. and Bai Qiaosong's brother-in-law Wang Ancheng, all of which are heavyweights.

You must know that although Wang Ancheng is only a bachelor of Hanlin, the Wang family he represents is different, and there are thousands of students standing beside them. Their attitude is the attitude of the scholars in the capital.

The other petty officials don't mention it, most of them are wall grass, and they can fall to it with a handful of pulls. They are only here to be full of characters, and it is completely for the sake of the Mu family that there is a county lord, a concubine and a concubine who is about to become the side concubine of King Qin.

Just when Mu Jinrou was praising how many people came, another heavyweight appeared on the stage. This one was Su Qing, who was listening on behalf of King Qin, and he came with Lin'an Hou.

As soon as they appeared, Mu Boyuan was obviously relaxed, he didn't expect so many people to come, the initial plan was that it couldn't be used, and he could only admit the identity of Mu Bowen's brothers and sisters. Otherwise, it was he who made a big fuss and made a fool of himself, who let a mother who did things and left her tail. If he had strangled people to death in the morning, where would there be such a day?

The last to come were the elders of the Mu family, who came here to set up a score, but Mu Shouzheng's inaction over the years raised their temperament. can see that the identity of everyone present is much higher than them, and this spectrum is directly extinguished in their hearts, and even flattered everyone.

Mu Shouzheng's face was extremely ugly, he was useless, but he had never been so embarrassed, this is the patriarch of the Mu family, if he wasn't from the same clan, he really didn't want to pay attention to these people.

looked at Mu Boyuan and found that he was whispering something to Lin Anhou and the others, and he seemed to be respectful. Looking at Mu Bowen again, he is sarcastic. sighed in my heart, no better than not knowing, or the child born to the woman I love the most has backbone and ambition.

Then he said to Mu Bowen: "Bowen, are you all together?" ”

Mu Bowen's mind was obviously not here, and he looked at the door, "Sort of...... Done, right? The heart said: "Didn't you really rush back?" ”

Mu Shouzheng then cleared his throat and gave the welcoming maid standing at the door a look, and as soon as the servant closed the door, the entire private room fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mu invited you to come firstly to catch up on the old days, and secondly, to announce an important event." He hugged his fist and circled, "Mu Mou prepared a little thin wine, and invited you to enjoy it." ”

"Where, where, Uncle is polite." The people present have been in officialdom for a long time, and these polite words are very familiar, and even Ren Qianli, who has never liked to deal with people, said it smoothly.

The atmosphere was good for a while, and all round tables began to push cups and change lamps, but some people wanted to disturb the atmosphere. It's no one else who is in this messy atmosphere, it's naturally the always annoying Lin'an.

He held the wine cup and said, "It's okay if you don't drink this wine, I don't know what Brother Mu said, let's all be happy when I say it!" ”

"Joy, joy!" Mu Jinrou, who heard this, really wanted to spray his face, that thin monkey-like Lin'an Hou would always be so hateful.

Mu Shou is face was angry, and even Mu Shouli, who was sitting at the table and was close to others, felt that this was very harsh.

Mu Bowen smiled, "Lin Anhou is right." It's funny, and I would like to invite you and your classmates to come and listen to it. ”

"Humph!" Lin Anhou snorted: "Then let's say, let's all be busy." ”

Mu Bowen was not annoyed, and still smiled: "This matter is a long story, and the kid will make a long story short." Everyone in Shangjing knows the identity of me and my sister, and they all say that we are the concubines of the Anding Bofu, and we were born to my father's outer room. But in fact, this is not the case, we are the real sons and daughters of Bofu, born to my father's official wife, Ye. Don't you want to hear about what's going on here? ”

Everyone has the psychology of gossip, this is not the patent of women with long tongues, even the officials in the court also have this psychology.

Ren Qianli is a big old man, but he is most unaccustomed to the dirty things in the Beijing Chinese official mansion, and the first one said in a loud voice: "Virtuous nephew, is this true?" Which bold woman did it? The knife in Ren's hand was the first to be spared! Confusing the bloodline of the family is a big sin and a capital crime everywhere! ”

Mu Boyuan's eyelids jumped, and he looked at Mu Bowen worriedly, the threat in his eyes was obvious, if Mu Bowen said one more word, maybe he couldn't help but do it.

Mu Bowen handed over the right to explain this matter to Mu Shouzheng, "Father, you know this matter best, if it weren't for your thorough investigation, my sister and I might still be called lowly concubines." Tell me about it. ”

Mu Shouzheng was choked by these words, and at the same time admired Mu Bowen's attitude, he was saving face for his father.

"Alas, the family is unfortunate!" Mu Shouzheng is also quite good at pretending, and his face immediately changed to a sad expression, and he arched his hand at everyone and said, "This matter has to start with the fat people in the mansion...... ”

"Wait!" Just then, the door opened again, and a man walked in.

Seeing this person, Mu Bowen's eyes instantly lit up, "Uncle! (To be continued.) )
