The concierge saw that Mu Ye was coming again, and they were busy going to Xiao Shiji's outer study to spread the word.

Xiao Shiji was standing in the study with his hands behind his back, looking at the pictures hanging on the wall.

It was a map of the Jingxiang area, which was supposed to be his fiefdom. When he was in Jiangling, he made countless plans, and even decided to move the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family to Jingzhou, where he took root and became a local family, and like the five surnames and seven wangs, he could become a big family in the future.

But this wish was shattered so quickly......

Xiao Shiji's fist behind his back clenched, and he used all the strength of his body to suppress his anger.

Since he returned to Chang'an from Jiangling, in just ten days, he has experienced more than all the warmth and coldness he experienced in previous years!

He seems to have returned to the days when his father died in prison and the family was swept away......

Looking back carefully, he was a little too anxious, and he was too afraid of losing everything he had now, and he wanted to keep it all too much, but he didn't expect that glory and wealth are like the sand in your hand, the tighter you hold it, the more it will leak out of your fingers, and at the end of the day, there may be nothing left.

Mu Houfu and Mu Yelai are indeed very excessive, and they actually dare to sell official cashiers outside under his banner, and he will definitely settle this account with them slowly......

However, in Xiao Shiji's opinion, the most hateful thing is His Majesty and the Prince.

His Majesty's hem clearly wanted to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

The crown prince wanted to use him, but he didn't want his credit to be too great, so he supported Qi Xiaogong, a member of the clan, to be the marshal of the Southern Expedition. Later, he supported Qi Xiaogong to snatch his exploits!

These two people are too good at calculus.

Xiao Shiji took a deep breath, but knew that he had to endure it if he couldn't bear it.

Now he is under the roof and has to bow his head.

As long as His Majesty is still His Majesty, and the prince is still the prince, he has to bow his head.

It's just that now he bows his head, no longer willingly, but with some resentment and unwillingness.

It turns out that what he wants is not just glory and wealth?

Xiao Shiji stretched out his hand and silently took down the map. Roll it up and put it back in the celadon vat.

"Master Hou. Miss Mu San asked to see her. Xiao Yi's voice came from outside the door of the study.

Xiao Shiji frowned, and said coldly, "What is she doing again?" ”

Xiao Yi hurriedly said: "My subordinates don't know. She only said that she wanted to see Master Hou......"

“…… Missing. I went back to the backyard. Don't bother me with this kind of thing in the future. She's a woman, if something. You should go directly to Madame. Don't look for me. Xiao Shiji didn't shake his face at Mu Yelai outside. But you don't have to worry about it in your own home.

Xiao Yi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Then the subordinate returned to Miss Mu San like this?" ”

Xiao Shiji pushed open the door and walked out and went straight to the backyard.

Xiao Yi happily came to the corner gate. He said to Mu Yelai, who was waiting there: "Miss Mu San, our Hou Ye is busy, and we don't have time to see Miss Mu San." Please come back. ”

Although Xiao Shiji said that Mu Ye had something to do, he should see Du Hengshuang, but Xiao Yi didn't think about putting this matter in front of Du Hengshuang at all. In his opinion, letting a person like Mu Yelai come to Madame can only make the relationship between Madame and Hou Ye, which had just improved a little, deteriorate.

"How is that possible? Brother Xiao won't see me! Mu Yelai was furious. Even if she recklessly intervened and made Brother Xiao lose the position of Jingzhou Thorn History, Brother Xiao didn't blame her, why did these subordinates have no eyesight like this? Can't you see where Brother Xiao's heart goes?

Xiao Yi put his hands in front of him, drooped his eyelids, and said with a smile: "Miss Mu San, who are you our Hou Ye?" Is it his relative, or is it his woman? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? Brother Xiao and I are innocent, how can you say such things?! Mu Yelai clenched his hands into fists, hung down beside him and shouted angrily.

Xiao Yi dragged out his voice, yawned, and said, "That's it, you are neither a relative of our Hou Ye, nor his woman, nor his superior." Why does he want to see you? - I mean, don't be too greedy. I've already made 100,000 pieces of silver, what else do I want? Do you want our lady to give up her position to you, and you will give up? Let me remind you, if you want to talk about the plan, our lady is the second, and there is no one in the first place in this Great Qi Dynasty. So your abacus is destined to be unable to defeat our lady! You better hurry back, you should get married, you should stop it, live a good life, what are you tossing? ”

Mu Yelai was told the central matter by Xiao Yi, and he was annoyed and angry for a while, and couldn't help but raise his hand and slapped Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was obviously able to dodge, but he deliberately didn't dodge, and he was slapped by her before he covered his face with his hand, took a step back, and said, "Miss Mu San is such a big shelf!" - I actually knocked on the door! I, Xiao Yi, am a slave, and I can't afford to hide if I can't provoke you! He turned around and shouted, "If you see this person coming to the door in the future, close the door for me and let the dog go!" As he spoke, he stood aside, and a fierce mastiff with saliva dripping from his mouth flew out of the door and almost landed on Mu Yelai's shoulder.

"Ah——!h Mu Yelai screamed in shock, was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and fell to the ground, only to see that the mastiff dog had a thick leather rope tied around his neck, and was tightly dragged by two powerful men behind him.

"Don't get out of here!" Xiao Yi snorted coldly, turned around and ordered someone to close the corner door.

The fierce mastiff was also locked in the door, and the roaring barking of the dog was terrifying.

Seeing this mastiff, Mu Yelai believed that it was really Xiao Shiji who didn't want to see her......

Because this is the mastiff that Xiao Shihe brought back from the Mobei army, he regards it as a treasure, and there is no such breed in Chang'an City.

After Xiao Yi sent Mu Yelai, he deliberately went to the backyard to reply with the finger prints on his face.

In Du Hengshuang's upper room, Xiao Shiji was watching Brother Ping'er and Sister An'er's homework. Du Hengshuang packed up the cage next to him, and found some Tianzhu cotton cloth to come out to make some summer clothes for Brother Yang'er.

Seeing Xiao Yi come in, Xiao Shiji frowned and asked, "What's wrong with your face?" ”

Xiao Yi deliberately wrinkled his face and said, "This is the ...... that was just beaten by Miss Mu San."

Du Hengshuang raised his head and asked lightly, "What?" Miss Mu San actually knocked on our door? He said. smiled and said to Xiao Shiji: "Since Miss Mu San is here, why don't you go to see Master Hou?" You see, everyone who is in a hurry has done it. It's a pity that our big steward Xiao, who is more majestic in the house, was also slapped in the face by an outsider. ”

Xiao Yi hurriedly bowed his waist and said, "Madame has won the award." Madame can bear these grievances, how can I not bear them? - Besides, it's all a slap in the face, my skin is rough and thick, so it doesn't hurt to hit me more. ”

Xiao Shiji lowered his head when he listened. Silently, he took the pen and circled a few words on the big characters written by Brother Ping. Only then did he pat him on the shoulder and said, "It's well written." In the afternoon, Daddy wants to see how your archery training is doing. ”

Brother Ping cheered: "I'm waiting for Dad!" As he spoke, he took Sister An'er's hand and ran out of the city to practice together.

Xiao Yi also took advantage of the situation to retire.

Du Hengshuang stopped him. asked, "What is the matter with Miss Mu San?" Did you ask? ”

"What's the matter with her. What does it have to do with us? Xiao Yi pursed his lips. He stood with his back straight.

Du Hengshuang said with a smile: "You can't say that, she is the savior of Lord Hou in the end." ”

"But she had already given her 100,000 silver, and she got rid of Hou Ye's position of inspecting the Jingzhou Assassin History. - These two things add up. It's about the same, right? Xiao Yi spoke, glancing at Xiao Shiji.

Xiao Shiji sat on the Taishi chair behind the table, his face was secretive, and he didn't say a word.

Du Hengshuang shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not how it is calculated. You know the way, Hou Ye is the most affectionate. Since Miss Mu San saved Hou San's life, Hou Ye probably has to pay for his life to Miss Mu San, which can be regarded as the end. ”

Xiao Yi listened anxiously, and kept giving Xiao Shiji a wink.

Xiao Shiji coughed and said, "This is too much. When am I going to pay her life? ”

"Didn't you? Oh, that's me wrong. I thought that Master Hou would not only have to pay her life, but also our family to her. Du Hengshuang quipped with a faint sneer.

Xiao Yi saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly retreated out of the door, leaving the house to the Hou Ye and his wife.

Xiao Yi left, and Xiao Shiji breathed a sigh of relief. There are outsiders, and he is embarrassed to talk softly to Du Hengshuang.

“…… Frost, I was wrong. Xiao Shiji walked to Du Hengshuang's side and said with some difficulty, "I'...... Wrong. Can you forgive me? ”

Du Hengshuang raised his head, glanced at him, and said with a smile on his face: "What are you talking about?" What's wrong with Master Hou? - You don't have to apologize to me. Really, you did what you were supposed to do, and I will do what I should. Don't worry. ”

Xiao Shiji nodded, wanting to pull Du Hengshuang's hand, "I'll rest assured." I'm still really annoyed with me when you ......"

Du Hengshuang glanced at him, shook his head and said, "No, I'm not annoyed with you." "I'm just sick of you.

"That's good, that's good." Xiao Shiji rubbed his hands, convinced that he had persuaded Du Hengshuang. Fortunately, Shuang'er didn't deliberately take Qiao, otherwise he would have been able to kneel down and beg for mercy again......

"Don't worry, I'll move back today. I'll let Zhichai go to the outer courtyard and bring my things in. Xiao Shiji hurriedly helped Du Hengshuang close the lid of the cage.

Du Hengshuang smiled and said, "Master Hou, it's really unfortunate, I just came here for a small day, and it's not good to serve you." You might as well stay in the outer courtyard for a few more days, and then I'll talk about it when I'm refreshed. ”

Xiao Shiji was a little disappointed, but did not persevere. He also thought that Du Hengshuang didn't take Qiao, but it turned out that he still had a certain estrangement from him. That's it, he just clinged to her again, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll come back to live for that." ”

Du Hengshuang said: "It's not about this. I don't like to share a bed with people, and women come to a small day, and their bodies are not clean, which is not good for affecting Hou Ye's luck. ”

Xiao Shiji listened to the twist, but he couldn't think of anything to convince Du Hengshuang, just looked at her silently, and found that he didn't understand her more and more.

……

Here Mu Yelai returned to Muhou Mansion from the Zhuguo Marquis Mansion, and he didn't know what to do at all.

In front of Mu Hou's Mansion, the person who asked for the account came again, and when he saw Mu Ye coming back, he hurriedly surrounded him and said, "Miss Mu San, what is going on with your brother's debt?" If it doesn't come out yet, we will have to report to Jing Zhaoyin. ”

Mu Yelai was disheartened, waved his hand and said, "You can report it." We don't have any money anyway. ”

In Mu Hou's mansion, Mu Hou was waiting for Mu Ye to come in a hurry, and when he saw her coming back, he hurriedly asked, "What did Zhu Guohou say?" Did you give you the money?

Mu Yelai thought of the grievances she had received in front of the Marquis of Zhuguo's mansion, but no one in the family cared about her, so she knew that she was looking for silver, and said upset for a while: "I haven't seen Brother Xiao." People outside, I don't care. Daddy can do whatever he wants. So saying, he went back to his room.

Mu Yelai let go, Mu Hou was very angry, chased to the door of her house and scolded: "That's your own brother, you don't care?" ”

Mu Yelai poked his head out of the house and said unhappily: "That's also your own son, you don't care?" ”

"You——! It's a big rebellion! Unfilial daughter! Mu Hou was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and lost his temper in front of Mu Yelai's door.

When Aunt Shi heard that Mu Yelai didn't care about this, she was so frightened that she ran over, and persuaded her hard in front of Mu Yelai's room, and said, "Come at night, you are your second brother, can't you make a face?" Go and ask the Marquis of Zhu, he has silver, he gave you 100,000 taels last time, this time, if he can give 500,000 taels, we will send you to the Marquis of Zhuguo's mansion as a concubine, he should be willing, right? ”

The happiest person in this house is the eldest prince Muhou, who came over to watch the excitement with his hands in his hands.

Hearing that Aunt Shi said that she wanted the Marquis of Zhu Guohou to give 500,000 taels, she asked Mu Ye to be a concubine for the Marquis of Zhuguo, and the eldest prince of Muhou couldn't help but sneer: "Yo, a concubine of 500,000 taels is really a silver man made of silver." Auntie, do you know that the prince married the princess, and he never gave a dowry of 500,000 taels! Why did the Marquis of Zhu Guohou do this injustice and give you 500,000 taels? With the appearance of the third sister, it is also worth 500,000 taels of silver? The ransom of the Oiran lady of Chang'an City does not want 500,000 taels of silver! - Auntie, you really don't know how to write the four words 'self-knowledge'! After saying that, he leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, and tears came out of his eyes.

Mu Hou was also a little panicked when he heard this, and scolded Aunt Shi: "They are all good sons raised by you!" What about your private room? Why don't you use it to pay off his debts? ”

Aunt Shi cried and said: "The concubine's private room has long been paid off, where is there anything left now?" After speaking, he thought of Mrs. Muhou's dowry, and said, "Master Hou, why don't you borrow it from Mrs., wait for the night to get the silver from the Marquis of Zhuguo, and then return it to Mrs......"

A few people were arguing, and they heard a few mothers-in-law running in in a panic and said, "Master Hou, it's not good!" Oh no! Jing Zhaoyin's yacha is here, and he wants to catch the second son and go to the hall! ”
