Chapter 164: Raising You
Xie An, who was driving the carriage, chuckled and turned his head to the other side, and his originally taciturn face couldn't help but bring a little smile.
How could the dignified Xie family have no money, even if they don't become officials, the Xie family's family is still there, and the property left by the ancestors is enough for them to spend, not to mention the shops and restaurants that Xie Chongning has accumulated over the years, as long as there is no war, those properties will not be spent in a few lifetimes.
Only Mu Yu would believe so simply that Xie Chongning is now penniless.
However, he definitely can't expose his own adult, he has been by Xie Chongning's side for so long, and he has long been accustomed to his behavior of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he feels that there is nothing wrong with this time, this is really like what Xie Chongning would say now.
"You say, what kind of business is better for us to do, I think the roadside snack stall is very good, or we can also make some handicrafts to sell, or we can open a small restaurant, you are responsible for settling accounts, I am responsible for cooking, this is also very good, do you think?"
Mu Yu saw that Xie Chongning was still silent, so he thought about diverting his attention, after all, there was still a road to go. For Xie Chongning, resigning from the official position is missing the most important help to be able to explore the Xie family's annihilation, but the Xie family, a big family, was wiped out overnight, she doesn't believe that without the help of the emperor, there is no way at all.
"Whatever you want, we will do it, as long as you are happy."
Looking at Mu Yu's bright and vivid cheeks and eyes full of hope, Xie Chongning couldn't help but touch the top of her hair and responded gently.
Some complicated things in the court Xie Chongning didn't want Mu Yu to know, he just wanted her to keep her bright smile like she is now, simple, and not trapped by the world.
But there are some things he still has to investigate, and there are some truths that he must know.
It's just that they will have a lot of fears when they stay in the capital, and it is also very inconvenient to investigate, only when he leaves the capital and stays away from the sight of those people can they relax their vigilance and continue to investigate.
Mu Yu and Xie Chongning's luggage was very simple, and when they left, they only brought some clothes and food to eat on the road, which can be described as light and simple, as if they were only going out to a long distance.
They were also very low-key when they left, Mu Yu only brought Biyue, and Xie Chongning only brought a housekeeper.
There are still many people staring at them in this capital, so it is better for them to keep a low profile and be as unobtrusive as possible, so that some people can rest assured and that person can be reassured.
Thinking of leaving the capital where he had lived for a long time, Mu Yu was still very reluctant, and they didn't know when they would come back, Mu Yu's heart was still very reluctant, and his mood was a little low, not as bright as before.
"Rumor, are you missing your mother?"
Xie Chongning saw her loss and reluctance, and took the little woman into his arms, gently but firmly comforting.
"I'm fine, you know my mother's temperament, they love me too much, but I definitely didn't expect that my mother would go out to look for me today."
Mu Yu didn't want to continue to be low, so he thought that they were in a hurry, and it seemed that they didn't even determine their destination.
"Say, 'Where should we go?' The south is so big, there must be a place, isn't it? ”
"Okay, do you have any particular places you'd like to visit?"
"I especially want to go, it seems that you really have it when you say this, Mu Cheng, what do you think? Last time we went to Xiaowan when we passed by here, I feel that the scenery of the small city is very good, the people are also very welcoming, and it is not very far from the capital, and it can be reached in about two days. ”
Mu Yu still remembers that when they went to Xiaowan to deal with the epidemic, they happened to pass by that small city, and they were instantly attracted by the folk customs there, and that place is located in the middle of the north and south, and the climate is also good, which is very suitable for living.
"Mu Cheng? It's a nice place, and if you want to go, let's go there. ”
Xie Chongning was surprised that Mu Yu would choose such a city, which coincided with his thoughts.
Mucheng has a part of his forces, and the reason why he chose this city in the first place was precisely because of its geographical location. Compared to other places, Mu Cheng is inconspicuous, and the people in the imperial court don't pay much attention to it, so it's easier for him to do whatever he wants.
Moreover, Mu Cheng has a different meaning to him, so it seems that Mu Cheng is really a very good choice.
"You like Mucheng too?"
Mu Yu didn't expect Xie Chongning to make such a quick decision, and he was still a little surprised.
"Well, if you like it." Xie Chongning looked at her deeply and said.
Mu Yu was looked at like this by Xie Chongning, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he dodged his eyes uncomfortably, this person is becoming more and more sultry, and he has always said such ambiguous words recently.
Seeing Mu Yu's reaction like this, knowing that she was shy, Xie Chongning laughed lowly, and his chest shook slightly, showing his good mood.
Seeing this, Mu Yu felt more and more embarrassed, but seeing him smiling so happily, he didn't say anything, just quietly shrunk in his arms to calm down.
Next time, you must be more concentrated, and you can't be fooled by this person anymore.
Without the trouble of the epidemic, the city on this road has gradually returned to prosperity. "Obviously, I have walked this road three times, but every time I pass this road, my mood is different."
Mu Yu looked at the scenery outside, "Did the emperor know about this matter of Guangping Marquis?" ”
"Father-in-law will naturally say." Even if the emperor doesn't know that this Marquis Guangping is powerful and prosperous in Yancheng, there are many people who can tell him about the Marquis of Guangping.
Even if Yu'er was really expelled from the house, according to Mu Heyun's temperament, he would definitely not swallow this breath, and he would definitely join him in front of the emperor.
"You're right." Mu Yu nodded, "After all, this Yancheng is the territory of the Marquis of Guangping, if we go to Mu Cheng, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not get the news, I am afraid that he will continue to come to us for trouble." ”
Xie Chongning smiled and touched her head, "I am in the court, limited by my official position, and now that I have no official position, he can't help us." ”
"Oh? Are you so powerful? Mu Yu smiled, but he didn't take Xie Chongning's words to heart.
After a few days of traveling, the group finally arrived in Mucheng.
Xie Chongning sent Biyue and the housekeeper Xie An to find a place to settle early, and when they arrived in Mucheng, the two were already waiting at the gate of the city early, waiting for them to enter the city.
"Young Master, I have already found a place to live, and the meal has been prepared, just waiting for you and the young lady to enter the city."
"Let's go."
Xie An dismissed the coachman, and then drove with Biyue to the house they had already found.
The lively shouting outside the car caused Mu Yu to can't help but open the curtain to see, the humid air blowing in his face, the people coming and going outside the car window, the shouting of small vendors, the laughter and laughter, very lively and harmonious, it is different from the excitement of the capital.
Looking at such a scene, Mu Yu's heart also made a lot of joy.
"Xie Chongning, come and see, it's really lively outside."
"Well, it's hilarious."
Xie Chongning looked at Mu Yu with a doting face, taking in her joy, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Walking through this bustling street, you soon reach a very secluded house, which contrasts sharply with the street not far away.
Xie An knew very well the character of his young master, and looked all over Mu City to find such a secluded place, the size of the house was just right, far away from the noise, and very close to the main street, which was very convenient.
This is just one of Xie Chongning's houses, and he has never lived in it, because Xie Chongning has been in the capital, it has been shelved, and now it has finally come in handy.
"Young Master, are you satisfied with this place?"
"Well, yes, what do you think?" Xie Chongning is mainly based on Mu Yu's thoughts.
"Very good, the location environment is very good, how did you find such a good place?"
"Back to the young lady, the owner of this house is just about to move out, and he is in a hurry to sell it, I see that the environment here is good, so I bought it back on my own initiative, young lady, you are satisfied."
Xie An replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Then our luck is really good, we can actually come across such a house, it's just ...... How much did this house cost? ”
This is what Mu Yu really cares about, after all, they only have 1,000 taels of silver now, and this house has taken advantage of the time and place, and the price is not low at a glance.
"Mrs. Hui, no more, no less, worth a hundred taels of silver."
Xie An thought for a moment and said a slightly reasonable price.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a hundred taels, I have money!" As he spoke, Mu Yu turned his head sideways and patted Xie Chongning with the back of his hand, "You can rest assured, I have fed you." ”
Hearing Mu Yu's reaction, Xie An breathed a sigh of relief, after all, now it is all up to Mu Yu to "feed" all of them, as long as Mu Yu thinks it is good, it will be fine.
"Miss, you and your adults have worked hard all the way, I'll pick up the luggage first, and you go to eat first."
Sitting at the table, Mu Yu looked at the food in front of her, ordinary can no longer be ordinary, for the first time, she felt that it was so important to keep money in her hand, she sat at the dinner table, couldn't stop in a daze, planning for her future livelihood, "These silver are the capital of our future glory and wealth!" What do you think we're going to do with it? ”
She took out the silver ticket in her arms and placed it neatly on the table, full of confidence, as if she was going to do a big job.
"How do I remember someone saying that they wanted to accompany me on the wanderings?" Xie Chongning looked at her and rolled up her sleeves, and couldn't help but smile and said.
Mu Yu pouted, "I did want to accompany you on the rivers and lakes, but I didn't know that the food in the rivers and lakes was so bad." ”
Xie An prepared in a hurry, only bought a few side dishes, the clear soup was not a little oily, Mu Yu was a carnivore, although she didn't eat a lot, but there was always some meat on the table as a decoration.
Now the vegetarian dishes on this table have made her even more appetizing after a day of traveling, "It is said that food, clothing, housing and transportation, what I value most is food, this food is not good, how can I waste it." ”
