Chapter 33: Blocking the Door
"Ah~~~" Mu Lingshu yawned and walked back. Yesterday, because of the pity of Shaobai, she was poor again and didn't even have a child, she went to the barren mountain with her legs, she was tired to death, and she came back and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, before dawn, I was woken up by warm snow.
She was afraid that those who came early would see that there was nothing outside the city and think it was a fake thing, who would be okay to give them free paper and leave as a prank.
Immediately before the gates opened, they erected sheds outside the city, and in a few hours they were all distributed, enough for them to use for months.
The matter was settled, she was sleepy, and she wanted to go back to sleep.
From a distance, I saw a lot of people around the door of Mufu, one by one holding papers of different thicknesses and squeezing them in, and more people rushed towards this side.
Mu Lingshu sensed that something was wrong, lowered her head and deliberately avoided the crowd, and walked quickly towards the corner, for fear that if someone recognized her, these people would go up to her.
"Pay back the money, pay back the money, Mufu is going to be finished, our money is going to be wasted, we must get the money today, let the people of Mufu pay back." Someone in the crowd shouted, others responded, and the deafening sound was heard far away, and onlookers were already whispering around.
Only then did Mu Lingshu know that what these people were holding in their hands should be account books, IOUs and the like.
Mufu is about to end? What's wrong? Why didn't you hear the wind?
Everything was fine when she went out in the morning, and she didn't see any difference from usual, she had only been out for a few hours, could something big happen?
Mu Lingshu asked Nuan Xue to take a detour to wait under the wall, she went to retrieve the hidden ladder, in fact, she found a place where no one was there to take the ladder out of the silent book.
The two skillfully climbed over the wall and returned to her courtyard, and as soon as they opened the courtyard door, they heard: "Everyone is guarding the front yard for me, and no one is allowed to let in." ”
Mu Qingzu commanded the family to run to the front yard, and the maids, who didn't know what was going on, were busy with the work in their hands with anxiety, but their eyes glanced at the bodies of the family members who were running one by one from time to time.
I want to ask but I don't dare to ask, I want to run but I don't know where to run.
Mu Lingshu raised her legs and walked out, Nuan Xue reached out to grab it, "San Niangzi, the front yard is dangerous, you can't go to ......"
She could see it just now, those people outside the door were fierce, she couldn't let her three ladies go, and before she finished speaking, Nuan Xue tripped over the threshold.
To be precise, standing behind the threshold, the feet do not move, the person falls forward, the anxious feet do not move, and the speed is used in the hands.
When she fell, she didn't forget to hug Mu Lingshu's leg and grabbed it tightly, as if she ran away as soon as she let go of Mu Lingshu.
"If you're frizzy, you can't be careful, whoever hurts knows, I don't hurt." Mu Lingshu muttered as she picked up Nuan Xue.
"Three ladies, the slave is fine, I can't go to the front yard."
"In the past, I had my father and mother to protect me, and they would carry it for me in case of trouble, so naturally I don't have to worry, now I can only rely on myself, if something really happens in Mufu, we must grasp the news as soon as possible, blocking the door but not seeing the rooms to clean up things, things should not be to the worst."
Mu Lingshu doesn't really want to take care of the affairs of Mu Mansion, but at present, she is still a member of Mu Mansion, one is prosperous, and one is lost, even if she escapes, she has no travel expenses.
"The third lady stands behind the slave maid, and the slave and maid will protect you over." Nuan Xue got up and stood in front of Mu Lingshu, her small body trembled a little, and she could still feel her nervousness, but she was afraid but never took a step back.
On that snowy morning many years ago, when she saw Mu Lingshu for the first time, she decided that from this moment on, her life would be Mu Lingshu's.
It was a famine year, and there was not much food left, so her family left her in the snow at night and left with her brother and all the food.
Seven-year-old Nuan Xue woke up and became a person, walking in the snow, calling out to his parents and younger brother, no one answered, no food, no direction, and no hope to walk, when he was hungry and cold, he fainted in the snow.
Mu Lingshu, who sneaked out to play, saw Nuan Xue falling in the snow, it was she who brought her home, it was she who begged her father to take Nuan Xue in, and gave her the only warmth in this winter, and since then there has been one more person in her world.
The name Nuan Xue was given to her by Mu Lingshu, which means to warm the snow in winter and dispel the cold.
Mu Lingshu explained the things, the more Nuan Xue wanted to do a good job, the more she made Mu Lingshu unhappy, careless, and easy to stumble Nuan Xue was not Mu Lingshu's favor at all, but there was nothing else except for scolding.
And since Mu Lingshu didn't die in this catastrophe, she has never scolded her so much.
In the past, Mu Lingshu was unforgiving, but she would also give her ointment to treat her wounds after scolding, ask for a doctor for the sick servants, and give porridge to the poor herself...... It's just that this hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person is easy to offend people, and it is easy to be misunderstood, misunderstood, and complained.
Nuan Xue has never complained, in her heart, no matter how Mu Lingshu treats her, she will not leave, betrayal is she gave Nuan Xue a second life, her life is Mu Lingshu's, and if there is danger, she will naturally take it first.
"Those people are still outside, it's safe here for the time being, don't be nervous." Mu Lingshu lined up the warm snow's shoulders, crossed her, and took two quick steps.
The tip of his nose was sour, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he was very moved.
In times of crisis, people will give priority to themselves, but Nuan Xue thought of her, in fact, even Mu Lingshu herself didn't find out, she was a little dependent on Nuan Xue.
Mu Lingshu stood behind the flowers a little farther away, and saw that the gate of Mu Mansion was closed, a group of servants blocked the gate, and some were standing in the courtyard with sticks.
"Pay back, pay back......" The noisy shouts outside the door grew stronger.
"Three ladies, let's hide from this posture." The deafening sound, as soon as I heard it, I knew that there were a lot of people outside, and then looked at the Zhumen who was hit back and forth, and could fall down at any time, Nuan Xue was a little worried.
If someone really rushes in, it won't be good if the chaos slanders the third lady of her family.
"Hide, where else can we hide." If the Mu family is really finished, who will be spared the wives and children who are the private property of the Mu family.
In this era when people can buy and sell at will like animals, and in the era when wives and daughters are men's accessories, it is not easy to be alone under the sunken boat.
"You go and check it out and see if you can get some useful information."
"Yes." Nuan Xue went to find those subordinates to inquire about the news, and Mu Lingshu closely followed the development of things here.
If it is really as said outside, Mufu is going bankrupt, then she will flee with Nuan Xue, although it is difficult, she will not sit still.
"Ancestor, there are more and more people watching the excitement outside, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid things will get bigger." The butler came anxiously to ask.
He asked people to climb the wall and look out, the more people gathered, and it wouldn't take long for the surrounding Mu Mansion to be surrounded by water.
If this stalemate continues, the problem will not be solved at all, and it will only intensify the contradiction more and more.
"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal that I bring some people and beat them all away, I see who dares to come and ask for an account." Mu Chengshen picked up the stool next to him casually, and a ruthless energy emanated, about to let people open the door and rush out to smash people.
"Count me in." When Mu Qingzu heard that there was a fight to fight, his eyes flashed with excitement.
"If you don't think things are messy enough, put your things down for me."
The old ancestor stopped it, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they let go of the things in their hands.
No matter when a person's nature is still difficult to change, whether he is poor or rich, Mu Chengshen's love for fighting has really not changed at all.
This Mu Qingzu should be the most like his son, who likes to solve things with his fists.
If the fists can solve everything, what else do you need to do with the brains.
Also, one has no remorse for hurting his sister-in-law, and the other makes Mu Lingqiao pay for it without the slightest apology, how can such a person reflect on it, knowing that introspection will not always rely on his fists to speak.
Mu Lingshu watched quietly.
