Chapter 06: Time flies

When Mu Tong returned to the side hall after taking a bath, he was surrounded by a group of three aunts and six wives.

He was only released after making sure he wasn't hurt.

In the face of his mother's questioning, he also prevaricated with the lies he had conceived a long time ago. As for what kind of lie? The ghost knife plotted against him, intending to assassinate the young master, and jumped into the river in a panic, holding the wooden basin to escape, so in order to repay the "life-saving grace", Mu Tong brought back the abandoned baby in the wooden basin. As for the ghost knife, who knows where to flee.

In this way, the thoughtful Wang quietly let him go.

The decision left the baby, and said: Since this doll is destined for my son, I will keep it in the yard.

So, from this day on, Black Dragon City knew that the five-year-old young master of the Mu family was benevolent and righteous at a young age, and dared to risk his life to go into the water to save people.

At this point, the matter came to an end and was not mentioned.

Time flies, time passes.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

The eldest young master of Mufu is fifteen years old this year. The passage of time has changed a lot in Mufu, and things are not people.

Take the careful maid back then, although she successfully approached the eldest young master, she couldn't wait for the eldest young master to grow up, and she tried to lure the young master (another river crab) to lure the young master away by the ancient mother-in-law, and was married to a village by Mrs. Mu.

Among the three young ladies in Mufu, the eldest lady and the second lady also married one after another in the early years.

The eldest lady Mu Rong, when she was sixteen years old, chose a son-in-law in Xiulou, and hit a traveling family disciple in the Shengwu Kingdom, and then the disciple also admired Mu Rong, so he went home to show his parents and married Mu Rong away with a welcoming team. That year, Mu Tong was nine years old, and Mu Xin and Mu Ling were twelve years old.

A few years later, Mu Xin married the son of a general surnamed Li in her country at the age of fifteen, and married into the general's mansion at the age of sixteen the following year.

That year, the eldest sister, who had been in her teens for ten years, went home for the first time to save her relatives, and took her three-year-old nephew Zhu Lu to live at home for half a year, and then reluctantly returned to Shengwu Kingdom. That year, the thirteen-year-old Mu Tong learned that his eldest brother-in-law Zhu Xun was a first-class martial arts family in the Shengwu Kingdom, the second young master of the Zhu family.

Now fifteen years old, he is sullen as he looks at the matchmaker who broke through the door.

Don't get me wrong, it's not for him. Mu Tong had already set up a family affair three years ago, and his fiancΓ©e was the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the city, who was also a businessman, and Wu Xian'er, the daughter of the Wu family. Wu Xian'er is immortal or not, Mu Tong doesn't care, anyway, the words of the matchmaker are the orders of the parents. As long as you do your duty.

has a father as an example, the family has two bedrooms, three bedrooms and four bedrooms, and he has not blushed over the years, and there are not so many bullshit things in big households. The second mother, the third mother, and the fourth mother treat themselves closer than several daughters.

Therefore, he thinks that marrying a wife should be a virtuous one.

Now this group of matchmakers who come to the door every day to stalk each other are all coming to say goodbye to the third sister Muling.

Mu Ling, who is nineteen years old, has already reached the age of the last train for marriage, and others are mothers at her age. Except for those women from the sect who pursue the realm of martial arts and come and go, who will be single at her age?

But because she was frightened by a snake back then, she has been fascinated by martial arts in recent years, and she has learned a lot of skills from the strange people recruited by her family, although she has no experience in dealing with the enemy, but it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people. In the past two years, the matchmaker who has come to the door has been beaten out by her three punches and two feet.

In the end, Siniang, who still had a headache, begged Mrs. Mu Wang, and Wang ordered to recruit the matchmaker of the whole city to choose a son-in-law for Mu Ling.

"Young Master!

Mu Tong's personal scholar Mo Qing shouted all the way and trotted to Mu Tong's side.

"How's it going?

Mu Tong pulled Mo Qing into the corner and squatted down, and asked mysteriously.

Mo Qing looked around for a while, and found that no one else noticed, so he whispered in Mu Tong's ear: "Young master, I heard from the maid next to Miss that Miss secretly packed up her baggage last night. A few days ago, I secretly sold a lot of fine soft. ”

Mu Tong slapped his forehead: "I know." How can the third sister be obedient. She said that she was going to marry a hero of the world, how could she obediently listen to her mother's arrangement. ”

"Young master, image image, pay attention to image. What are we going to do?"

The little scholar Mo Qing hurriedly stopped Mu Tong's undignified move. After all, today's Mu Tong is a well-known humble son in Black Dragon City, and he can't mess up his image.

"Xiao Qingzi, I told you to do something, can you promise that you will never tell others?"

The scholar Mo Qing slapped his chest and swore back: "Whatever the son said, Xiaoqing's life was saved by the young master." My mother-in-law said that if the young master hadn't gone down to the river to save me desperately, I would have frozen to death. It's as beautiful as it is now, and now who in Black Dragon City doesn't call me a little Mo Ye. Although the young master commanded, Xiao Qingzi kept it properly. ”

It turned out that this ten-year-old scholar was actually the baby boy rescued by Mu Tong from the river.

"Well, listen up. You go and tell my mother's housekeeper, Sister Liu'er, that I owe money for drinking flower wine in Cuihong Mansion, and ask her to give you 10,000 taels of ransom. ”

As soon as Mu Yuan's voice fell, a guard who protected him in the dark couldn't hold back his laughter, and Mo Qing looked at him like a fool, and said in disbelief.

"Young master, you're not confused, aren't you? Don't say that you've been famous all these years, and you're notoriously lascivious. Don't talk about the matter of visiting the Qinglou, don't say that the family believes it or not, just say that the shopkeeper of the Cuihong Building, he dares to say that he can have 10,000 taels of the Cuihong Mansion combined, not to mention that he dares to detain the young master for a mere 10,000 taels. Young master, how did the shopkeeper of the Cuihong Mansion offend you so that you dare to frame him like this?"

As soon as Mo Qing's exaggerated words fell, the guards behind the wall couldn't help laughing anymore, and they estimated that there were no less than a few people listening to the voice. They must have heard the greeting to come to the play.

Mu Tong angrily yelled behind the wall, "Get out!"

The people behind the wall suddenly dispersed.

"I don't care, young master, I have a time limit, you can bring me a silver ticket of 10,000 taels to the West City Gate to find me within an hour. Got it?"

"Yes, yes, my young master. Eleven, keep up and protect the young master. ”

Mo Qing no longer paid attention to his unreliable young master. The young master is good at everything, but he has no concept of money.

The guard named Eleven in the shadows responded: "Don't worry, Mo Ye." ”

This is really not a stutter, everyone knows that the scholar next to the young master is a dead eye. For the sake of the young master, even the master dares to contradict the master. When the young master was ten years old, the five-year-old Mo Qing dared to carry a single knife taller than himself and fight hard with the children of the family who insulted the young master. I chased people for a few streets, and finally fell to the ground with all my strength and cursed non-stop. No one didn't scare him.

You can offend the young master, but you can't offend the Mo master, this is something that Mu Fu knows.

But is there a difference between offending the young master and offending Mo Ye? The young master is Mo Ye's heaven.

Although they could take down Mo Qing with one hand, no one dared to do so. Because those who dared to do this were all driven away by the Mu family's broken legs.

Mu Tong walked out of the gate of the Mu family, greeted the people on the road with a smile all the way, and arrived at the gate of the West City. There is no way, it is really the Mu family compound is three streets away from the West City Gate, no matter how much you grind, half an hour is enough.

Under the service of the city guards, Mu Tong sat in the guard room at the city gate.

"I said Lao Yang, don't do this. For many years, you have become the leader, and it is not good for your subordinates to see it. ”

Lao Yang sat down on the side indifferently.

"What did Young Master Mu say, Lao Yang's promotion is not the light of Young Master Mu, and the city guard promoted me only because of Young Master Mu's face. My old Yang doesn't expect to be promoted again. If you go up again, you will have a proper martial arts official position, and I won't go hard. I'm like this, and I leisurely patrol the four gates every day. Occasionally fight with Young Master Mu in the autumn breeze, and he is more comfortable. No one accused me of collusion between officials and businessmen. It's a big deal that I quit my official to be a follower for Young Master Mu, and I don't think Young Master Mu will dislike me, right?"

"But I dislike it!Old Yang Tou, how long have I been away from my young master, and you want to seek the position of your Mo master?"

Before Mo Qingren arrived, he took the lead and accused Lao Yang of being unkind.

"Hey, how dare my old Yang. Isn't that an analogy?"

"Hmph, you don't have that mind to speak?"

"Not really, really not. Otherwise, I'll send you back to the trap box you were thinking about last time. You're just blackmailing me. I'll sew this mouth shut another day, and see how you still pinch me. ”

Mo Qing patted Lao Yang's military armor with his little hand, "That's it." Besides, you don't need that thing for a city guard. I'll take it back and ponder it, and change it to a talisman secret weapon, isn't it better than you to keep it moldy?"

"Yes, yes, Xiao Mo Ye is incomparably intelligent, a pair of small hands are ingenious, nothing can be difficult for you. Okay. ”

Looking at the two of them fighting. Mu Tong interrupted them with a remark.

"Did you bring anything?"

"Needless to say, I don't see who's out of the way. ”

"Bang", a thick pile of one hundred and one taels, and the silver tickets that are common to the whole continent were slapped on the table by Mo Qing.

Mu Tong looked at Mo Qing curiously, and couldn't help asking, "How did you get it?"

Mo Qing poured herself a cup of tea with a disgusted face, drank it all, and then returned as a matter of course: "Of course, I told Sister Liu'er that the young master needs 10,000 taels of silver, and then Sister Liu'er gave it to me directly." ”

"Huh, that's that simple?"

"Or what do you think?"

β€œ......”

Mu Tong silently put away the silver ticket, looking lonely.

Lao Yang pulled Mo Qing and asked about the mystery, and when he learned that the Mu family wanted to use it to spend money in the Qinglou to "cheat" money from home, he slapped the table with laughter, and Mo Qing and Mo Qing lay on the table and laughed non-stop.

[Laugh, laugh, Young Master Ben doesn't care. 】

Mu Tong, who pretended not to care, self-hypnotized to comfort himself.

"Don't laugh, Xiao Qingzi, go and see, why hasn't she come yet?"

"Yes, young master. ”

Mo Qing restrained his laughter, got up and walked out of the guard room.
