"Let's go!"

Mu Yunxue was not interested in the matter between the two maids, so she beckoned Mu Zhiyi and Mu Xiaoyu to leave in a voice that only the three of them could hear.

After that, the three of them walked around the courtyard again, and during this time, they also met one or two people from Mu Fu, but they were all avoided by Mu Yunxue and the three of them, until the sky gradually began to darken, and Mu Yunxue and the three of them were ready to go back.

Soon after Mu Yunxue and the three of them went back, someone knocked on the door, and Mu Jing opened the door, and the person who came was a man who looked to be in his thirties, only to hear the man say coldly: "The third master and the fourth master have dinner." After speaking, the man turned around and prepared to leave, ignoring the two families of Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei behind him.

Mu Jing didn't have any expression on his face, but just beckoned the people in the room to go out with him, so the mighty group followed the man in his thirties to the hall of the Mu family.

At this moment, there is a large round table of eight immortals in the hall of the Mu family, and there are all kinds of delicacies on the table, of course, these are not the share of Mu Yunxue and his party.

"Sit here!" The man who had been walking in front of Mu Yunxue and his party stopped when he walked to a table outside the hall, and then turned to Mu Yunxue and his group.

Mu Yunxue and his party looked at the table next to the man, it was a very old table, and it looked a little tattered, but there were five plates of things on the table at the moment, a plate of white-flour steamed buns and stone plates of pickles, and there were no other superfluous things.

"What is this?" Mu Jinglei glanced at the table and the food on the table, and for a while his face showed an ugly look, obviously a little angry, and said, "This is the hospitality of your big house." ”

"Of course not, but the old lady of our family said that the third and fourth masters will prepare this for them when they come, so we are also acting in accordance with the old lady's instructions, and please don't be angry with the third and fourth masters." The man said, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Sure enough!" Mu Jinglei clenched his fists, his eyes showed pain, unwillingness, disappointment and anger, but in the end, he let go a little weakly.

"Let's all sit down!" Mu Jing didn't have any expression, just beckoned everyone to sit down.

And Mu Yunxue sat down, Mu Yunxue and their table immediately became the focus of everyone present, only to see that the maids and maids who came and went looked at Mu Yunxue and their table with strange eyes, and many people's eyes also showed contempt and contempt, and even boldly began to discuss directly, and their words were all ridicule and contempt for Mu Yunxue's table.

Then Mu Yunxue took a look, except for Mu Jinglei's somewhat strange expressions at the beginning, now from Mu Jingze, Mu Jinglei, Chu's, Xu's, Mu Zhixu, Mu Zhiyi and Mu Xiaoyu's faces, they didn't seem to care at all about the strange eyes and ugly words of the people around them.

Maybe I really don't care! Mu Yunxue comforted herself like this in her heart, anyway, she didn't react much, for these painless things, Mu Yunxue felt that she was angry and broke her body in the end, so it was better not to care.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the hall of Mufu was also full of all kinds of beautiful lanterns, at this time Mu Hong, Liu, Mu Jinghai, Zhou, Mu Zhiwen, Mu Shanshan, Mu Jinghai, Liu, Mu Zhiyao, Mu Zhiwu, Mu Yiyi and Mu Ruxia came slowly, and the group started from Mu Hong to all the same color brocade cotton clothes, although the brocade cotton clothes are also generally and good, but for Mu Yunxue and the people at the table who are all wearing patches and coarse cotton clothes, this contrast is really too obvious.

And the maids in the hall did not treat Mu Yunxue and his party as casually as before after seeing Mu Hong and his party, but became very respectful one by one.

Mu Hong sat at the main seat of the big round table of the Eight Immortals in the hall, followed by the Li family, followed by Mu Jinghai and Mu Jingshan who each sat on both sides of Mu Hong and Li with their families, and finally formed a table.

"Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, it is rare for our family to reunite, we must eat and drink well." Mu Hong spoke, but he didn't say it to Mu Jingze and Mu Jinglei who were sitting at the old table outside the hall, but to Mu Jinghai and Mu Jingshan, who were sitting at the same table as him.

"What Dad said is that this year is the first year that Daddy has come to the town, and my son wishes Daddy and Niang happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan." As soon as Mu Hong's voice fell, Mu Jinghai toasted to the second elder of the Mu family with the wine glass in front of the table.

"I also wish my father and mother all the best and a long life." Then Mu Jingshan also stood up, and was asked to respect the second elder of the Mu family.

"The daughter-in-law wishes my father and mother a long life and a safe life." Zhou and Liu also stood up at the same time and toasted at the second elder of the Mu family.

"The grandchildren (granddaughters) also wish grandparents good life, good health, wealth and good luck." Then the grandchildren of the Mu family also stood up together and toasted to the two elders of the Mu family.

"Okay," the second calloused man of the Mu family saw that the children and grandchildren at the table were congratulating him, and his face immediately smiled, and after saying two words in a row, he toasted with everyone present.

There was a happy and happy scene in the hall, but Mu Yunxue's table outside the hall was cold and miserable, which was really a good contrast.

"Let's all eat!" After toasting, Mu Hong spoke, and a happy and happy family banquet began, and this was only for the table in the hall, and the table outside the hall Mu Yunxue looked at the steamed buns and pickles in front of him with a somewhat expressionless face, and was silent for a while.

"Zhiwen, you won the show this time, it can be said that you have given us Mu family face, and you have to work hard in next year's college exam, our Mu family is waiting for you to be such a champion!" The Mu family never pays attention to what food is not said when eating, and at this time, Mu Hong suddenly said this.

"Well," Mu Zhiwen nodded, "The master said that I can be admitted to Xiucai at the age of sixteen, and next year's college exam is just to test the water first, if you win, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"Also, now that the saint is wise, and the scientific examination is opened, it is not like the previous three-year attempt, and I will continue to work hard next year." Mu Hong said.

"Shanshan, how are your grades in the Phoenix Feather Academy this year, I heard your mother say that you are the leader of your Phoenix Feather Academy." Mu Hong looked at Mu Shanshan again.

Mu Shanshan put down the chopsticks in her hand and wiped the corners of her mouth before slowly replying: "The third place in the year-end test, although it is not a very good result, but Mr. said that it is already very good for me to get the third place at the age of thirteen." ”

"Well, the people who can enter the Phoenix Feather Academy and marry in the future are either rich or expensive, if we can always achieve good results, I believe that our Shanshan will definitely marry a noble person in the future." Mu Hong said with relief, he was very satisfied with Mu Zhiwen and Mu Shanshan, and at the same time, he was full of expectations for their future.

Mu Zhiwen fell for Xiucai, this is quite unexpected news, Mu Yunxue said in her heart, Mu Zhiwen's impression of Mu Yunxue is still in the scene of seeing him and a woman in a green building at the gate of Yihong Courtyard that day, originally Mu Yunxue thought that Mu Zhiwen was just an empty shell straw bag, but I didn't expect that this was a bit of a real talent, and now he has been admitted to Xiucai.

Although Xiucai is considered a relatively low existence in the entire imperial examination, I think that Mu Jinghai has studied for so many years and has not been admitted to the exam for so many years, so it can be seen that this Xiucai is also a little difficult to test.

As for the Phoenix Feather Academy that Mu Hong said Mu Shanshan was studying, Mu Yunxue occasionally entered the town and heard that this Phoenix Feather Academy is very large, and there are many branches in various places in the Jin Kingdom, and there is also such a branch of the Phoenix Feather Academy in Anyang Town, the Phoenix Feather Academy only recruits female students, and only recruits female students who are both talented and beautiful, and these female students will continue to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, female red, poetry and books, etiquette after entering the Phoenix Feather Academy······ These things, every year Phoenix Feather Academy will also hold an exam, and will also announce the names of the top ten students in the exam to the local people, and the local rich and noble families will also pay attention to these, and according to the results of the annual Phoenix Feather Academy exam to evaluate these women in their hearts, and finally these women will go to these women's homes to propose marriage after they reach marriageable age.

There have been many examples of outstanding ordinary poor female students of Huangyu Academy marrying into high-ranking families, so now Huangyu Academy has become a shortcut for all female carp to jump over the dragon gate and climb a good family business.

And Mu Shanshan seems to have been admitted to this Phoenix Feather Academy three years ago, and now she has a good score of third, although it is only in the Phoenix Feather Academy in Anyang Town, but there is also a rule of the Phoenix Feather Academy, that is, every year some outstanding women will be selected from the local area to go to the Phoenix Feather Academy in the imperial capital to study, but such opportunities are almost rare, and the hope is very slim, but there is hope is better than no hope.

Isn't this an example of the most favored concubine of today's Jin monarch, originally Concubine Shu was just the daughter of a wealthy merchant in a small county, but she was later admitted to the Huangyu Academy, and won the first place in the Huangyu Academy in her county for three consecutive years, and was later admitted to the Huangyu Academy in the imperial capital, and won the second or third good results for three consecutive years, and then was favored by the emperor to enter the palace as a concubine, and after entering the palace, she sat on the concubine position for two years.

With such an example as Concubine Shu, more and more women want to fly up the branches and become phoenixes through the Phoenix Feather Academy, and Mu Shanshan in front of her is obviously the same.

Mu Yunxue thought about the rumors about the Phoenix Feather Academy that she heard from the market, and secretly sighed that the person who ran this Phoenix Feather Academy was also a talent, and used this method to make all the women proud of studying the Phoenix Feather Academy, and they knew that this Phoenix Feather Academy had a lot of shackles every year, which was a steady stream of wealth.

A Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve meal was eaten with joy and speechlessness, but finally the meal was finished, of course, the finished meal referred to the table sitting in the hall, but Mu Yunxue's table was not moved, everyone just sat and waited for the table in the hall to finish.

"Why don't you eat the third and fourth children, it's not good for you to waste food like this." Suddenly, Mu Hong's voice came from above.
