The next day, the army set out, and everyone in the Mu family stood in the most conspicuous corner of the crowd and watched the army leave.

Mu Zhiling stood behind Xiao Yuning, not seeing what kind of expression her mother was.

It's just that she knows that the pain of parting must be beyond words.

Just like her state of mind at the moment.

Zheng Li stood beside Mu Zongze, turned around and looked around.

When I finally saw the familiar figure, my expression relaxed a little.

Back at Begonia Garden, Mu Zhiling sat indulgently for several hours.

After all, I forgot the time for dinner, and sat until late at night, only to realize that I had lost my mind for a long time.

It's really ridiculous to say that people who have lived for two lifetimes themselves still suffer from gains and losses like this, and lose their souls because of a little thing.

But is it really a trivial matter?

The mid-May season isn't too hot, but it's irritating.

Mu Zhiling heard the news and said that in the palace, Concubine Gao Shu had lifted her grounding.

And the emperor is now staying in Concubine Gao's bedroom every night.

In a few days, it will be the birthday of Song Yingxi, the sixteenth prince.

And Concubine Gao Shu also took advantage of this opportunity to invite women with status outside the palace to enjoy the flowers.

It is said that the peonies bloom very well in May, and the Chengde Palace of Concubine Gao Shufei is said to be in full bloom, and everyone who has been to that scene sighs.

And the invitation was sent to the Mu family, and among the places for the banquet, all the female relatives of the Mu family were invited.

The time was set for three days later.

Mu Zhiling sat on a wicker chair in the courtyard.

Yuemei frowned slightly, and said, "Miss is really going to go?" ”

Mu Zhiling bowed slightly. said: "Is it difficult to go?" ”

What kind of thoughts did Concubine Gao have in mind when she let her go this time.

Six years ago, she had a serious illness because of pollen, and she caused it on her own. No one cares.

But this is something that someone did on purpose, but I'm afraid that there are not a few people who know that she is afraid of pollen at this time, so it is unknown whether Concubine Gao knows it or not.

"Miss, if you go, how will your body be?" Yuemei was more nervous than Mu Zhiling, she had witnessed this serious illness a few years ago.

Mu Zhiling smiled bitterly. Said: "Yuemei, you can only fall down once on the same road, and people are on the same mistake." It can only be committed once. ”

She was afraid of pollen, but now she has recovered.

She is just afraid of the thoughts of those who have a heart, if she really wants to harm her, how can it be this way.

Yuemei understood what Mu Zhiling meant. Nor do they speak again.

It's just that the two stayed in the courtyard for a long time. I didn't see Mu Zhiling having the intention of going back to the room, Yuemei couldn't help but get anxious, and said, "Miss, it's almost noon at this time, the sun is very poisonous, you better go in quickly, you are like this, what if your body is broken?" ”

Mu Zhiling shook her head indifferently. said: "How can my body be so squeamish, Yuemei, if you are afraid of the sun, go back quickly." Just leave me alone here for a while. ”

Yuemei hurriedly said: "Miss, the slave maid is just worried that the young lady's body can't stand it, how can a poor body like a slave and maid be afraid of the viciousness of the sun." ”

Seeing that Mu Zhiling was still unhappy, Yue Mei suddenly said, "Since Miss feels that the home is boring, it is better to go out for a walk." When I went out yesterday, I found something extremely interesting. The largest gambling house in Kyoto had changed owners, and it was said that in order to open the door, people were allowed to use rice paper instead of silver when they went for the first time. ”

Mu Zhiling listened attentively, and as soon as she heard that it was a gambling house, she became interested, and hurriedly asked, "What else do you see?" ”

"The slave also saw someone being thrown out, and it is said that the man lost the money and could not pay the loss, so he was made into a human by the people in the gambling house." Yuemei was shocked when she thought of the scene like yesterday, and hurriedly said: "Miss, you better not go, the slave is a little afraid now, there is no safety outside the courtyard wall after all." ”

Mu Zhiling said: "Where can I be safe in this courtyard wall?" It's just that if you die outside, it's a violent corpse on the outskirts, and in this deep boudoir, if you die, you have no bones. ”

Here, cannibalism does not spit out bones.

Mu Zhiling's heart became heavier and heavier, and she didn't plan to go out, but she was also a little shaken at this time.

The new owner of this gambling house is only afraid that it is Mu Yao.

Mu Zhiling had also heard of the terrifying and bloody scenes that happened in the gambling house in her previous life.

It's just that I heard that those people voluntarily signed a deed of sale because they lost money, and then it was up to the owner of the gambling house to decide what to do.

Because of this, the court has no way to take this.

After a few times, more and more people died in Kyoto.

That Mu Yao is murderous, and no one in the gambling house must have three people showing three different ways of dying.

If he touched Mu Yao and was in a good mood one day, he would leave that person alive.

But what's the difference between that and being dead?

After a few turns, more and more people went bankrupt, and more and more people died.

At night, Xiao Yuning came to say a few words, and then stayed in Mu Zhiling's Begonia Garden and slept with Mu Zhiling.

The mother and daughter were lying on the bed, but their breathing was very shallow.

After all, he couldn't sleep, Xiao Yuning muttered to himself, "Ling'er, I have already instructed the two killers I accepted to keep an eye on Mu Zongsheng's every move, as long as there is a situation, report to me immediately." ”

Mu Zhiling turned sideways, looked at Xiao Yuning's blurred silhouette by the dim moonlight, and said, "How did this killer come about?" ”

Xiao Yuning closed his eyes and said, "It was an old friend who borrowed me, didn't you ask Ling'er about this earlier?" ”

"But my mother didn't tell me who the old man was? I just thought I could ask him to help. ”

Since the killer skills cultivated by my mother's old friend are also so good, she is bound to be a powerful and ruthless character. And being able to lend such an excellent killer to his mother lightly shows that the friendship between his mother and relatives is by no means ordinary, if you ask him for help. It can definitely be lighter.

Xiao Yuning was reminded by Mu Zhiling's words, and then remembered this and said, "Ling'er." Cannot. If she could, her mother would have done it a long time ago, but his whereabouts were too erratic, and her mother couldn't contact him now. ”

"Does that mother know that person's surname?"

"Tolerance. Strange to say, when I saw him twenty years ago, he was the same look, but twenty years later. I saw that he was still like this. If it weren't for the fact that I had a good relationship with him in the early years, and that I didn't believe in any ghosts and gods in this world, I would have thought he wasn't human. ”

The mother and daughter were silent as they spoke. Mu Zhiling opened her eyes and looked out the window.

Rong Zhi, this name is so familiar.

But why has she never heard of such a powerful character?

Early the next morning. I listened to the people in the fourth room making a noise. And those maids were all full of smiles on their faces, Mu Zhiling asked Yuemei to inquire about the situation, and then I heard that the master of the fourth room went to the gambling house yesterday and suddenly made a thousand taels.

At this time, I am rewarding the people in the four rooms one by one.

Cuiliu pursed her lips and was a little unhappy, and said, "Miss, this is really what kind of master there is, what kind of slave." You didn't see how proud those maids were in the yard, and they had already kicked their noses in the face when they saw the minions just now. The previous girls who had a better relationship with the slave maid now meet the slave maid. They all looked at each other. You say that such a snobbish person, the slave has never seen it that way. Miss ......"

The words have not yet spoken. Mu Zhiling made a gesture to stop her mouth.

"Cuiliu, what to say and what not to say, you are already past the age of marriage now, and you should think about it carefully. Don't talk about it at that time, it doesn't matter if you say it in front of me and Yuemei now, but if it is passed in the eyes of people with a heart, it is not good to attract people. Mu Zhiling looked like she was only twelve years old, soft and weak, but her words made Cuiliu and Yuemei startled and startled.

In the end, he was speechless.

Mu Zhiling stood up, looked up at Cuiliu, who was taller than her, and said, "Where are the four masters now?" ”

Cuiliu lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Mu Zhiling, the attitude of the young lady these days makes people feel a little strange. She said softly: "I heard those maids say that the fourth master went out early in the morning, and he went with the one thousand taels from yesterday." Miss, is the gambling house really so profitable? In just one day, I earned a thousand taels. ”

Mu Zhiling snorted coldly and said, "If you don't let people taste some sweetness at the beginning, how can you be addicted?" ”

In his heart, he was very disappointed, and Mu Zongyao could be regarded as a dou who couldn't be supported.

In his previous life, he revealed the Mu family's family business because of the gambling house, and spending a lot of money was not the same thing to him at all.

Then he lost most of the Mu family's family business, and then Jiang went to Mrs. Mu to complain in tears, and Mrs. Mu was so angry that she couldn't do it.

And now the few shops left in the Mu family with withered business add up to less than tens of thousands of taels of silver.

But even so, it was enough for the entire Mu family to spend a year.

Although the Mu family can be regarded as everyone, they are also diligent and thrifty, and their food and clothing are also very tight.

If this matter is left unchecked, then it will be okay.

But if you tell Mrs. Mu, you will have to wait until Mu Zongyao stabs the basket, but at that time, I am afraid that the visible property of the Mu family will be lost by him, and every thing that my mother has done at that time may be exposed, but I am afraid that it will fall short.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhiling had to take action.

Now go deep into the gambling house to stop Mu Zongyao's behavior.

Or, win back all the money Mu Zongyao lost.

But how easy is that?

Not to mention that she is a woman, she can't enter the gambling house at all, and even if she does, she doesn't understand those things.

There must be something strange about the reason why gambling houses can control wins and lose at will.

And she didn't understand any of that.

But if this matter is not resolved, there will only be more trouble in the future.

Mu Zhiling was hesitating, and she heard that her brother went to the gambling house.

Startled, Mu Zhiling was worried, and she hurriedly walked towards Jingxuan Pavilion.

Xiao Yuning sat quietly in the hall, holding her homemade quill in her hand, writing something that Mu Zhiling couldn't understand.

"Mother, my brother went to the gambling house, you can send someone to call him back quickly." Mu Zhiling said impatiently.

But Xiao Yuning was calm and calm, as if he hadn't heard it.

Mu Zhiling was a little anxious, and said, "Mother, how could my brother suddenly go to the gambling house when he is so good?" ”

Looking at her mother's calm face, Mu Zhiling was puzzled, but she felt that her mother did this......

Xiao Yuning pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Ling'er, you don't have to worry about this matter, your fourth uncle's mother heard about it just now, and I asked your brother and Thirteen Fifteen to go, just to move this bureau back." ”

Xiao Yuning's strategizing appearance made Mu Zhiling breathe a sigh of relief, but she was still a little worried, so she asked: "But my brother doesn't know how to play those at all, ...... mother does this?"

Xiao Yuning put up the rice paper in her hand, and Mu Zhiling only saw a series of symbols that she didn't recognize, and said, "Mother, what is this?" ”

"Probability, the probability of your brother winning. Any gambling house must have done something about the dice of the throw, but it is impossible not to win. And I have already taught Brother Yu how to win, as long as you press more and more each time, you will definitely be able to win back all the money in front of you. ”

The gambling skills she had seen on TV were later fortunate enough to be put into practice, and they were successful every time, and she even went to Macau on a trip in her previous life.

Wouldn't it be a joke to say that the modern mind can't win.

Mu Zhiling didn't seem to understand it, but since her mother was sure of something, she would definitely be able to handle it. Mu Zhiling was still a little uneasy and said: "But mother, those people in the gambling house are all outlaws, if my brother wins, can he get out of the way?" ”

"Of course not, so I gave him the golden knife I once had."

Seeing that Mu Zhiling was very puzzled, Xiao Yuning smiled and said: "This golden knife was originally I saved the life of Emperor Mingde, and Emperor Mingde gave it to me, and the knife is engraved with the name of Emperor Mingde." ”

Mu Zhiling was even more shocked and speechless, she hadn't seen her mother use this knife in her previous life, or did she use it later and she didn't know?

Or was the knife stolen?

Mu Zhiling didn't have the heart to think about the knife now, since this knife was given by Emperor Mingde, it was powerless.

But I still feel that something is wrong.

Xiao Yuning continued: "Ling'er, of course, this move can only save your brother for a while, if you want to take away the things in the gambling house, I'm afraid you have to do it yourself." I asked your brother to go, and whether he won or lost, he gave me an excuse to go to the gambling house. In this case, why is it wrong for me to go to the gambling house to take care of my son? ”

Mu Zhiling nodded again and again, I have to say that my mother's move is very good.

The golden sword is the one that catches all the people.

However, my brother is weak, and those people are afraid that it will be very good if they don't hurt him, but if they spit out the money, it is impossible at all.

And now that the mother is taking the Mu family to go, it will be unbearable for the people in the gambling house to do so. (To be continued......)
