Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Thief
Mu Ling asked Gong Yan to invite Liang Chu to Muxiyuan and made a large table of dishes.
"What is this for, just one of me?" Liang Chu joked, "Mu Qing didn't enter the palace today. ”
Mu Ling endured the cold, who called her the label of "Liang Chu's woman", hooked her lips and squeezed out a smile, "Yes, please be alone." ”
It is rare to be so polite, Liang Chu sat down with a smile: "Say it, but what's the difficulty?" ”
Mu Ling blushed: "It's nothing difficult...... I just want to go home and see my parents and family. ”
This was indeed not a difficult thing for Liang Chu, and he took Mu Ling out of the palace on the same day.
The two disguised themselves and went to the street as ordinary people, but they met thieves again.
The thief seemed to be a thin young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, and while the butcher who sold the meat weighed the meat, he touched the butcher's money bag.
Mu Ling's eyes were clear, and before the butcher could react, she had already rushed out like an arrow from a string.
The thief was agile and fled quickly, but he came in the direction of Mu Ling and Liang Chu, and as the crowd moved, the guards who followed Liang Chu out of the palace had already pressed their hands on the knife in their sleeves.
"There are thieves!" The butcher let out a loud shout and chased after him.
At the same time, Mu Ling took a wrong step, directly hit the fleeing thief with his shoulder, twisted his backhand, grabbed his arm and pressed it down.
The thief didn't have any strength at all, and was pressed to the ground by Mu Ling at once, "Hand over your wallet." ”
Liang Chu waved his hand, signaling that the guards did not need to panic, and walked over and asked with a smile: "I didn't know that you could do kung fu?" ”
Mu Ling only cared about catching the thief, forgetting that there was still a Liang Chu by his side, and suddenly woke up, and said vaguely: "Oh...... When I was a child, I learned a few tricks to strengthen my body. ”
The butcher chased after him with a knife and gestured at the thief: "Grandpa, I have been in the butcher shop business on this street for more than ten years, and you thief even dares me to steal, so I will chop you up today and sell it with the meat of the animal!" ”
Mu Ling looked at the thief's dejected figure and frowned, "The money is for you." ”
The butcher did not relent: "I don't know how much he stole on weekdays, I can't spare him so easily, I will definitely cut off his hands." ”
The boy's face was already full of tears, "I didn't, this is the first time ......"
"Hey, you said the first time is the first time?!"
Seeing that the butcher still wanted to kick with his foot, Mu Ling let go of the person, "I caught the person, and the money will be returned to you, if you are still in trouble, you must walk around the yamen to see which official can allow you to cut and kill people on the street." ”
The butcher spat when he heard the words, and returned to the stall indignantly.
The boy thanked Mu Ling and made another gesture.
Liang Chu had been watching, and when he saw him behaving politely, he couldn't help asking, "Are you still a scholar?" What happened to do this deception? ”
The boy wiped away his tears, saying that his father broke his leg on an errand for the government, but the government was unwilling to take responsibility, so he gave a few taels of silver and didn't care anymore.
"My father's leg was suppurated, and the doctor asked for a few taels of silver to prescribe medicine, and I went to the government to ask for money, but they drove me out, so I had to steal it...... My mother has fallen down because of my father's illness, and the water and rice have not been eaten for a few days, and a good family is about to disperse. ”
Mu Ling took a deep breath and looked at Liang Chu with a burning voice, as if asking, "Your officials are careless about people's lives, and you don't care?" ”。
Liang Chu was helpless at her pressure, threw the young man a wrench, and said, "Take it, go to Jing Zhaoyin, and someone will solve your family's affairs for you." ”
The sound fell, and he had stepped out of the crowd.
Mu Ling also wanted to comfort the young man, but he still remembered the purpose of today's trip, and hurriedly followed him.
"Y-Why did you go? So how good does the wrench really work? ”
Liang Chu smiled: "My objects should be useful, if they don't work, this country is afraid that the mountains and rivers will be broken and the wind will be over." ”
Mu Ling didn't listen to him and glared at him secretly.
Today, the rim smoke also came with him, and he didn't dare to come out all the way, and he was relieved to see that the young lady didn't quarrel with His Majesty.
After returning home, Mu Ling recognized people one by one according to the reaction of the cigarette.
Mrs. Mu is gentle and dignified, and when she sees Mu Ling, she can still control it, but the old grandmother of the family is "heart-to-heart" and can't stop screaming.
It's easy to meet everyone, and Mu Ling has a lot on his mind.
Rim Yan was even more excited than Mu Ling, and when he went back to the house, he cried when he saw the little sisters.
The maids who served Mu Ling in the past were all arranged by Mrs. Mu to marry, some came back to be housekeepers, and some went home to live a small life.
Master Mu accompanied Liang Chu all the way to chat about political affairs and walk around the garden, only feeling a great honor.
The time to get together is rare, but it is also short, Mu Ling and Gong Yan tearfully said goodbye to their families, boarded the car and left.
The days passed quickly, and the Queen Mother's birthday banquet arrived.
The royal garden is full of flowers, and it is very beautiful, and the concubines of the palace are also showing.
Mu Ling has decided to leave, and on the day of parting, he is calm and relaxed, and he actually has the heart to appreciate the scenery.
The prosperity will not be seen in the future, but she does not regret it, and she has never been blinded by this wealth.
She was wandering around the garden, and Mu Qing saw her from a distance and ran over to join her.
But a servant girl followed, returned to Mu Qing, and said that the general had arrived.
Mu Qing was fluttering and wanted to go to the front, but unfortunately the maid continued, the general and His Majesty talked about the border war, and the princess couldn't see it when she went.
Mu Qing was depressed.
Mu Ling listened to it and couldn't help but be surprised, the last time she also mentioned that General Ruan, she saw that the princess seemed to treat the general very unusually.
Mu Qing bit her lip and asked Mu Ling: "You say, if you want to give a gift to someone you like, what should you give?" ”
Mu Ling was stunned, she didn't know that she had patronized the case in her previous life, and she didn't have a boyfriend.
However, thinking that he was leaving, and the princess had also helped herself, Mu Ling picked up two sentences of experience from the Internet in her previous life, "You have to consider what he likes and what he doesn't like, pick what he likes and give it away, it's always right." ”
Mu Ling said, "For example, that General Ruan, who marches and fights, maybe likes good swords, or good horses? ”
Mu Qing was happy, "Yes, martial artists love to dance with knives and sticks, I give him weapons and horses, he will definitely like it." Mu Ling, thank you. ”
Mu Ling also felt sorry for this handkerchief, so he said: "Go and talk to the Queen Mother, today is a big day." ”
Mu Qing sighed, "A group of internal and external women are complimenting each other, and they are very boring - Brother Qi asked me to go to Zhuangzi to play, and you are with me?" We can soak in the hot springs, hunt, eat game, whatever we want. ”
Only then did Mu Ling know that Mu Qing planned to invite those who accompanied him before leaving the country, and those who are married now and those who are to be married are invited over to chat and reminisce.
Mu Ling is leaving, and she will disappear after today, shaking her head and saying that she can neither ride a horse nor hunt, which is very boring, and also said that old friends get together, and she is not easy to mix.
