[Mu Sisters]

In front of the Mystery Bamboo Yuan was a group of Lingxian Pavilion disciples wearing the same costumes, and through it, on the other side, the Mu sisters stood in front of the door of the Mu Mansion. The streets were still as lively as ever, and people were concentrating on their own business, and no one noticed the two girls standing in front of the wooden house. A red ribbon hangs on the plaque of Mufu, and two red lanterns hang on either side of the plaque.

"Sister, is this true? We are ...... Mufu? ”

"This ...... Didn't Mufu burn? ”

"Isn't that clearly in front of our eyes? Perhaps, it was a dream! It's a dream we had! ”

"I ...... I don't know. ”

During the conversation, the door of the wooden mansion was opened, and a person came out of it.

Seeing the visitor, Mu Zhixi couldn't help but exclaim: "Old He? ”

"Oops! The eldest miss, the second miss. Why did you come back? I saw this person walking towards the Mu sisters with a smile, "Come in, the big guys are waiting for you." ”

Mu Zhixi: "Waiting for us?" Who is waiting for us? ”

"Yo~ Miss, today is a good day for the second lady to get married! You won't even forget that, will you? ”

Mu Jinggong: "Marriage? Who am I marrying? ”

"Who else? Of course, it's the young master of Nangong Mansion! ”

Mu Zhixi: "Nangong Zishu?!" ”

"That's right! Hurry up, hurry up! Come in and bathe and change clothes, when the auspicious time comes, Young Master Nangong will come to pick up people! ”

"Hey!" Before Mu Zhixi finished speaking, he saw several housekeepers and maids running out of the Mu Mansion, pushing the Mu sisters and entering the gate of the Mu Mansion.

Mu Jinggong was pushed to take a bath, and Mu Zhixi sat in the living room with a blank face. Lao He smiled and beckoned the maid to bring tea and water to the eldest lady, as if Mu Zhixi was a guest here.

"Lao He? What about fathers and mothers? ”

"The lord has not come back yet, and the lady has gone to Mifu."

"Mifu? Is the eldest lady Mia? ”

"Huh? No, the eldest lady of Mifu is Miss Misuyue. Miss, why did you even forget this? ”

"Misu Yue? I've never heard of that name before! Looking at the unfamiliar faces of the maids around her, Mu Zhixi asked again, "These are all new arrivals, right?" When is Mufu recruiting new people? What about Qin'er? ”

"Qin'er's girl is rough and rough, and when you were away, she broke Madame's most precious jade bracelet. I've been kicked out. ”

"Kicked out?" Mu Zhixi stood up and said angrily, "Qin'er is my maid!" How can you just kick her out?! ”

"Miss, you forgot again. Qin'er's girl secretly took out your things as money before, and Madame asked her to serve her closely and discipline her well. ”

Mu Zhixi frowned and sat down again, and continued to ask, "Why did Nangong Zishu marry Jing Gong?" ”

"Hahahaha~" Lao He suddenly laughed, "Eldest Miss, you didn't handle the marriage between this Zishu son and the second lady?" ”

"Me?"

"The two of them have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and you have always been in the eyes of the eldest lady. Therefore, when the prince of Zishu has performed the crown ceremony, and the second lady has performed the ceremony, you will have to handle their marriage with your own hands. You said it yourself! ”

"How so?" Mu Zhixi muttered to herself.

"Eldest Miss, looking at your wedding dress, how do you know that you are going to marry with Second Miss today?"

"What! Why didn't you say it earlier? Who am I going to marry? ”

"I thought you knew. Of course, it's the eldest young master of Nangong Mansion! ”

"The eldest young master of Nangong Mansion? Isn't it Nangong Zishu?! ”

"Hey~ That's the second young master. Back then, our Mufu and Nangong Mansion had a baby kiss, saying that the eldest lady and the eldest young master were together, and the second young lady was with the second young master. ”

"But what...... How can two sisters get married together? ”

"This is something that Nangong Mansion sent a few days ago, saying that it wants the eldest lady to marry in today."

"This ......"

"Miss, look at you, go in and change your clothes again! Girls, wait for the eldest lady to bathe and change clothes! ”

"Hey!" Mu Zhixi didn't finish speaking, and was pushed into the room by the maids who came over.

—— —— ——

The Mu sisters put on their wedding dresses, put on their headdresses, and sat in the waiting room waiting for Nangong Mansion to pick them up. It was noisy outside the door, and Lao He stood outside the gate to greet the people who came and went.

"Sister, I'...... Why should I marry my brother-in-law? I really don't know anything! ”

"Jing Gong, don't worry. Although it is still the same as Mufu, it has actually changed. ”

"Sister, what do you mean?"

"We didn't go back to Mufu, which has been reduced to rubble. We should still be in the mystery by now. ”

"But how are we going to get out?"

"Don't worry, listen to my sister. See where they're going to send us. ”

The sedan chair that picked up people stopped outside the door, and Lao He beckoned the Mu sisters to get on the sedan chair. Mu Zhixi lifted her hijab, opened the sedan curtain and looked outside. I saw that the mighty greeting procession covered the entire street, and the people on both sides watched such a huge welcoming procession like a tide. But Mu Zhixi looked all over the street, but couldn't find where the groom was. She returned to the sedan chair thoughtfully.

"The red lantern is hanging high, whose daughter is going to get married? Miss Mufu painted her makeup and married Nangong ghosts like flowers. Mu Zhixi couldn't help but feel a little sad when she listened to the song sung by the children, but then, she was stunned.

"This singing is not right!" As she spoke, she sang it again, "'The red lantern is hanging high, whose daughter is going to get married?'" Miss Mufu painted her makeup and married Nangong like a flower. 'No, what's wrong with this song?' Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she held her breath and listened carefully to the songs of the children outside.

"The red lantern is hanging high, whose daughter is going to get married? Miss Mufu painted her makeup and married Nangong ghosts like flowers. ”

"Hmm!" Mu Zhixi gasped, covering her mouth and not letting herself make any loud noise, "Marrying Nangong ghosts like flowers?" Ghosts like flowers?! Don't you want our sisters to go to the funeral?! Mu Zhixi lifted the sedan curtain again and looked at the people on both sides of the street, everyone had a happy smile on their faces, and the singing children kept dancing. Mu Zhixi stopped the maid beside him and asked, "Hey! What is your name? ”

"The slave's name is Xiaoya."

"Good. Xiaoya, are you going to marry into Nangong Mansion with me? ”

"Huh? No...... No, it's Miss, you marry in yourself. ”

"Am I marrying in myself? Xiaoya, let me ask you, what is the name of the eldest young master of Nangong Mansion? ”

"Nangong Qiuze."

"Akizawa?" Mu Zhixi said to herself, "Isn't Qiu Ze Mia's brother? How did you become the eldest young master of Nangong Mansion? ”

"Miss? What do you say? ”

"Oh! It's nothing. How is this Nangong Qiuze person? How much do you know about him? ”

The maid Xiaoya suddenly became uneasy, and said hesitantly: "I...... I don't...... I don't know ......."

Mu Zhixi saw her strangeness and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I ...... I ......"

"Hey!" Mu Zhixi stretched out her hand and grabbed the maid Xiaoya's arm and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"Ahh Xiaoya screamed, suddenly ran in the opposite direction, rushed to a tree on the side, hit it hard, and was killed on the spot. The procession to greet relatives stopped, and people all gathered around Xiaoya, who was killed, pointing and pointing. The matchmaker came out and shouted, "Where did you come from such a dead girl!" Crashed into this happy day! What a bad luck! Fast! Find a few people to carry her away! Looking at this stench, I'm afraid that some kind of fox is reincarnated, right? It really choked the old lady's eyes! Hurry up, hurry up! Drag her away! After speaking, she walked to Mu Zhixi's sedan chair again and said with a smile: "Oops! Miss Mu, I'm afraid it scared you, right? This kind of uneducated girl has collided with you, don't take it to heart! But don't delay this happy day! ”

"Haha~ It's okay, it's okay! It's just a girl who has never seen the world, and she doesn't care about her. Just ask you to bury her alive. ”

"Hey~ The eldest lady is really a bodhisattva, you said so, I will bury her well." The matchmaker raised his head and shouted to the handyman on the other side of the tree, "Be smart! The eldest lady was merciful and ordered me to bury this girl who didn't know how to take care of it. You guys, let's do it! After speaking, he turned his head to Mu Zhixi and said, "Then let's go?" ”

"Let's go."

"Get up!" Joy blew again, and the streets were as lively as ever, as if nothing had happened.

—— —— ——

When they arrived at Nangong Mansion, the Mu sisters all got off the sedan chair. The two were helped into the gate of Nangong Mansion by the maid. At this time, the Nangong Mansion was also full of people. Mu Zhixi looked around, but he still didn't find anyone he knew, even his parents and Nangong Wei Ran never appeared.

"Sister?" Mu Jinggong whispered, "I just found a hidden compartment in the sedan chair, I took out a dagger from the dark compartment, maybe it will be useful in a while." ”

"You have to hide it, maybe our sisters will die in a moment."

The Mu sisters were led to the main hall, but there was no one in the main hall, and the bridegroom was never seen. The ritual is called "three kneeling, nine prostrations, and six prostrations." Listen only to the shouts of those who praise the salutes: Go to the temple to see the salute and play music! (Happy) the main wisher incense case, kneel forward, all kneel! Incense, two incense, three incense! Prostrate, prostrate, prostrate! The salutant then sings: Ascend, flatten, reset! Kneel, kneel! Then sing: Rise, worship! L, Bye! L, Bye! Sing again: Kneel, kneel, read the blessings! A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy knelt on the right side of the Buddha stool to finish reading. And the salute sings: Rise, worship! L, Bye! L, Bye! After a set of procedures, the Mu sisters got up and were supported by the maid. At the end, the salute is sung: After the salute, quit the class, and send it to the cave room! Everyone hugged to eat and drink outside, and the Mu sisters were taken to the underground ancestral hall of Nangong Mansion. The matchmaker followed with a dozen or so family members.

"Miss Wood! This is the end of the marriage, and you should enter the cave room. ”

Mu Zhixi pulled off her hijab and asked, "Everything that needs to be done has been done, what are you going to do next?" ”

The matchmaker smiled: "Miss Mu, what do you mean by this?" ”

At this time, Mu Jinggong also took off his hijab and glared at the matchmaker: "What about the groom?" Where is it? ”

"O groom~ They can't wait! You two should go quickly~"

Mu Zhixi turned around and saw dozens of spiritual tablets in front of him, all of which were the spiritual positions of the ancestors of Nangong Mansion. And the last row of the spiritual seat is the tablet of Nangong Zishu. In front of the altar are two Nanmu coffins.

"Will you let us go and bury a dead man!"

"It's already here, so it's up to you."

The matchmaker beckoned, and the family next to him rushed up, trying to stop the Mu sisters. Mu Zhixi turned around and ran to the back of the coffin, reflexively picked up a spiritual tablet and threw it at the family members who rushed over, saying sorry as he threw it. Mu Jinggong pulled out a knife from behind his waist and slashed at the rushing family, and those family members couldn't get close to Mu Jinggong's body for a while. Mu Jinggong retreated as he chopped and retreated to Mu Zhixi's side. Mu Zhixi made a look, and the two of them lifted the lid of the coffin in front of them together, and threw it forward with all their might, overwhelming the family members who rushed to the front. The two took advantage of the chaos to run towards the back of the spiritual position, Mu Zhixi secretly turned a candlestick beside him, a secret passage appeared behind the spiritual position, and the two quickly hid in it, and in the panic, Mu Jinggong touched off a spiritual position card and fell into the secret passage with them, which read: The spiritual position of the eldest son Nangong Qiuze

—— —— ——

The two of them walked all the way along the secret passage, and it was already the middle of the night when they escaped from Nangong Mansion. Mu Zhixi crawled out of a grass-covered hole first.

"Come on! Jing Gong! ”

Mu Jinggong threw something up first and said, "Sister! This was something that fell with me, dragged it all the way around my skirt, and I just took it out. ”

"Good, good! You come out first! ”

Mu Jinggong took Mu Zhixi's hand and climbed out. The two of them knelt on the grass and blocked the entrance to the hole. Mu Zhixi and Mu Jinggong brought a large stone from other places and put it on it. The two of them lay down on the grass with a sense of relief.

"Sister? They're not going to chase after them, are they? ”

"Not anymore. They don't know the secret passage or where it leads. ”

"Sister? How did you know there was such a place? ”

"Haha~" Mu Zhixi said with a smile, "That is a secret passage that I dug with Brother Zishu when we were young. ”

"Huh? This secret passage is so long, how long have you two been digging? ”

"Hey! I've been digging for a year. At that time, in order to avoid his uncle's family law, Brother Zishu and I dug this secret passage together. Sometimes he hides in the ancestral hall for a day and no one will find out. Later, when we were all older, he remembered this secret passage again, so he asked the master craftsman to secretly make a mechanism. ”

"Thanks to your playfulness! Otherwise, our sisters will be buried alive. ”

"Yes! Who would have thought of what would happen after that? That's right! Jing Gong, didn't you say bring something with you? Where did you just throw it? ”

"Oh yes! Over here. Mu Jinggong took out the spiritual tablet from a small mound and handed it to Mu Zhixi. Mu Zhixi took it and stared at it for a long time, and said in surprise: "It turns out that Nangong Qiuze is really the eldest son of Nangong Mansion!" ”
