Chapter 52: Eavesdropping

"These are your masters, you have to understand a little bit in the future, if you encounter a hard stubble one day, there is your good fruit to eat." Liu took the lead in bringing his family into the door, and when he passed by the door, there were still some masters, but they were like friends to educate the little guy.

And the little guy was not annoyed after hearing Liu's words, but continued to flatter Liu with grovel: "The lesson of the second lady is that I must be careful next time, the second lady has a good New Year!" ”

"Well, take it, give you the New Year's red envelope." Liu nodded lightly, then took out a simple small cloth purse from his sleeve and handed it to the little guy, who took the small cloth purse in Liu's hand and thanked him again and again, and took the Liu family in more and more respectfully, and completely left Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei behind.

Mu Yunxue looked at the scene in front of her with some surprise, this Liu family didn't understand that he would only be lazy and lazy, and this method of buying people's hearts was a little surprising.

"Let's go inside!" Mu Jing saw that no one paid attention to him, but there was no expression on his face, but he and Mu Jinglei led their own people into the gate.

As soon as she entered the gate, Mu Yunxue really understood how good the living environment of the Mu family's big house was, and saw that as soon as she entered the yard, there was a small garden, because it was snowing, so she couldn't see what was planted in the garden, but the rockery in the garden made Mu Yunxue amazed, the price of the rockery is actually very expensive, judging from the size of the rockery in front of her, it is estimated that there are no two or three hundred taels that cannot be bought.

Everyone walked through the garden, which was the hall, and in the hall, Mu Yunxue and they saw from a distance that several maids were busy in the hall at the moment, all wearing uniform maid clothes, and everyone was wearing muslin cotton clothes.

"Who are you, and who gave you permission to break into the Mufu?" Suddenly, a girl who looked relatively old saw Mu Yunxue and her group, the maid first glanced at the clothes of Mu Yunxue and her group, and saw that they were all wearing patched old clothes, so her face immediately showed disgust, and she walked over and said sharply, "You guys don't go out quickly, otherwise don't blame me for asking someone to beat you out." ”

And Mu Yunxue and his party listened to the maid's words, and there was no expression on their faces.

Mu Jingze walked out and said lightly to the maid: "My name is Mu Jingze, may I ask if this is my eldest brother Mu Jinghai's home?" ”

The maid was stunned for a moment when she heard Mu Jingze's words, and then looked at Mu Jingze and his party again, her eyes were still full of contempt, but her tone was a lot more relaxed, but she just said without saltiness: "My master is called such a name, but I only heard that he has a younger brother named Mu Jingshan, you wait for me to ask." After saying that, the maid walked away, without taking Mu Jingze and his party in the slightest.

And this wait for a long time, the people who passed by in the Mu Mansion were passing back and forth, and they all looked at Mu Jingze and his party with a strange look, but Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei still had no expression on their faces, and they didn't put these people's eyes in their eyes at all.

Mu Yunxue, Mu Zhiyi. Mu Xiaoyu and Mu Zhixu were very leisurely and found a place to sit and rest, originally Mu Xiaoyu and Mu Zhixu were unwilling, but they couldn't stand Mu Yunxue and Mu Zhiyi's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so they also sat down to rest.

So a very strange scene was formed in front of the hall of this Mu Mansion, four adults in patched old clothes stood there, and four young boys and girls in patched old clothes were sitting and chatting casually.

Finally, after waiting for more than an hour, the people from the Mu family's big house came belatedly, it was Mu Jinghai who came, I saw Mu Jinghai wearing a navy blue brocade cotton robe today, and it was the master's style when he walked, and when Mu Jinghai came over, he didn't see an apology or smile on Mu Jinghai's face, just heard Mu Jinghai say lightly: "The third brother and the fourth brother are here, come with me, I'll take you to rest first." ”

There was no apology, no greeting, and no explanation, just so faintly, and a little impatiently, he walked forward with Mu Yunxue and his party.

Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei didn't say anything when they saw Mu Jinghai, and just followed Mu Jinghai silently.

"You can rest here for a while, if you have nothing to do, don't move around freely, and I'll send someone to call you when dinner is ready." After speaking, Mu Jinghai turned around and left.

And Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei took their family into the room where Mu Jinghai had arranged a rest, and when they pushed the room open, they were greeted by a nose full of dust and musty smell.

cough cough a few times, Mu Yunxue raised her head and was taken aback by the scene in front of her, this is a place for people to rest? This is obviously an abandoned firewood house.

"Dad, are we really resting here?" Mu Yunxue looked at Mu Jingze with some suspicion, she really didn't believe what she saw, Mu Jinghai would actually arrange such a room for them to rest.

"Well, just clean up, you should still be able to sit." Mu Jing responded, and then took the lead in taking the broom that was already full of dust in the corner of the room and began to clean.

Mu Yunxue saw that Mu Jing started to clean, so she also started to clean, since her father didn't care about this, then she didn't have to worry about it.

After a simple cleaning, it was probably enough to be able to sit down so many people, but Mu Yunxue couldn't sit still, and raised her eyes to look at her father and mother and the fourth uncle and aunt who didn't say a word, thinking that the mood of everyone present now was a little complicated.

"Dad, I'm going for a walk." Mu Yunxue got up and said, Mu Yunxue doesn't want to sit here so honestly for half a day, at least come here, or take a look at the big courtyard of Dafang's house, otherwise it will be a great loss.

"Well," Mu Jing didn't stop, just nodded and agreed.

"Little sister, I'll go with you!" Mu Zhiyi stood up and said.

"Okay!" Mu Yunxue responded, then looked up at Mu Xiaoyu who was sitting on the side and asked, "Sister Xiaoyu, do you want to go together?" ”

"Me?" Mu Xiaoyu didn't expect Mu Yunxue to suddenly ask herself, so she looked up at the Xu family sitting beside her.

"Let's go together!" Xu smiled and nodded in agreement.

So Mu Yunxue, Mu Zhiyi, and Mu Xiaoyue went out of the house, and the three of them didn't see anyone outside when they left the house.

"Let's go that way!" Mu Yunxue pointed to the right and said.

"Well," Mu Zhiyi and Mu Xiaoyu naturally have no opinion, they are not familiar with the three of them here, and they are the same wherever they go.

"This yard is so big!" The three of them walked under the corridor of the house, and Mu Xiaoyu looked at the rows of houses in front of him in amazement, which were more than the houses he lived in now.

"Mother, why does Dad invite his poor relatives, I really lose my appetite every time I see them, especially the people in the third and fourth rooms, look at the tattered clothes they wear, even the lowest maids in the family are better dressed than them." Suddenly, a familiar girl's voice sounded in the ears of Mu Yunxue and the three of them, and the three of them stopped in unison.

"Okay, but they're only here for one day, so bear with me." There was a voice that sounded like a woman's voice.

"Hmph, it's all grandma's fault, what do you say about a reunion for the New Year or something, why don't they go back to the countryside if they want a reunion, and borrow our family to put up some scores." The girl's voice sounded again, and her tone was obviously full of dissatisfaction.

"Don't say that in your grandma's presence," the woman's voice sounded, with a clear hint of warning.

"I know, it's true, why did my father and mother have to go with my grandmother's family when I split up at the beginning, and it would be good for my grandmother to have a family with people in other rooms, so much so that I have to go to them every day to say goodbye, really!" The girl's voice became more and more dissatisfied.

"It's not a way, without your father living in the town, let your grandparents still live in the countryside, you just follow them a little, so that you can show your filial piety." The woman persuaded.

"Hmph, I just can't get used to seeing that old woman look high, who does she think he is, isn't he just an old woman from the countryside, and she really thinks she is an old lady from a rich family." The girl continued to complain.

Hearing this, Mu Yunxue and the three of them also understood who the two people who spoke were, the younger voice should be Mu Shanshan, and the older voice was Zhou, but they didn't expect Mu Shanshan, who was also very well-behaved and temperamental, it turned out that there was actually this behind it.

However, this did not surprise Mu Yunxue and the others, after all, when there was no separation before, Mu Shanshan's eyes were full of disgust and contempt every time she went back to Mu's house to look at them, as if they were some dirty thing, and her eyes were dirty at a glance.

The three of them didn't want to continue to listen to Mu Shanshan's complaints, so they quietly left and continued to walk around the big courtyard of the big house.

Along the way, Mu Yunxue and the three people are also a place with few people, and I don't know if there are not many people in Mu Fu, or because they are busy in the front hall on Chinese New Year's Eve, anyway, Mu Yunxue and the three people did not meet anyone along the way, which made Mu Yunxue and the three more bold, and no longer hid and walked, but a little like visiting their own back garden, leisurely strolling.

Mu Mansion is very big, anyway, it is very big for the three of Mu Yunxue now.

With a snap, the sound of a slap suddenly broke into the ears of Mu Yunxue and the three of them, who were leisurely strolling around the yard, and the steps of Mu Yunxue and the three of them paused with this applause.

"Slut, tell you to steal the old lady's jewelry." There was another loud slap accompanied by a woman's scolding.

"Sister Chunhua, I don't have it." The other voice was slightly weeping, and it sounded younger, but it sounded very pitiful.

"No," there was another slap sound, and the sound was very loud, which showed that the beater used a lot of strength.

"You were the only one in the room just now, but as soon as the old lady came back, she found that a bracelet was missing, and said that you didn't have it." The so-called Chunhua continued, with a clear harshness in his words.

"I don't know, I didn't take it!" The beaten maid still didn't recognize it, and her whimpering cries penetrated the ears of Mu Yunxue and the others.
