Chapter Seventy-Six: Comfort
In order to collect debts, the speed of moving in the third room can be described as an unprecedented exaggeration, but in two days, the three rooms were empty and only a few pear trees were left at the door.
Mu Yu saw that the third room had been withdrawn, so the token that Xie Chongning lent her took the initiative to visit.
"Thank you, this is your token, thank you for your help." Mu Yu presented the token with both hands.
Xie Chongning raised his eyes coldly, but he didn't take it when he saw the token, "The matter is done?" ”
"Well, thanks to your help, Mu Liangxuan recognized it at a glance, went back and told Mrs. Ruyang, and split up that night." Mentioning this, Mu Yu can still remember the smile on Mrs. Ruyang's face after the successful separation.
If one day Mrs. Ruyang knew that this Mu Yi's debt was fake, I don't know how beautiful her face would be. Thinking of this, she couldn't hide the smile on her face, and two shallow little pear nests appeared under the corners of her mouth.
Xie Chongning's eyes were full of her innocent smile, and the corners of her mouth also had an upward arc when she was infected. "If you split up, no one in the Hou Mansion will dare to bully you."
Hearing this, Mu Yu nodded, and the smile on her face also subsided a little, she seemed to be a little too presumptuous in front of Xie Chongning. "My lord, this token is returned to you."
She kept holding the token with both hands, and she didn't see Xie Chongning take it, and her hands were even more sore at this time, and she couldn't help but tremble a little.
"Put it on you." Xie Chongning's handsome face was full of waves, a small token, and he didn't put it in his eyes. Besides, the three rooms are not good stubble, maybe one day when they reflect it, Mu Yu will take the token, and the people in the gambling house will let her send it.
Mu Yu slowly withdrew the token, but he always felt that it was not such a thing to accept it like this, "My lord, isn't this your side business?" You give me a ......"
Xie Chongning raised his eyes casually, his eyes were deep but he couldn't hide his smile, he just casually said a side job, this girl actually believed it, "It's okay, Dali Siqing can't have such a little side job." ”
After thinking about it, Mu Yu picked up the token and put it in his pocket. "Adults have helped me so much, and I don't know how to reciprocate."
"Think of it as a small dowry." Xie Chongning retracted his eyes indifferently, "You and I need to be so clear?" ”
The corners of Mu Yu's mouth twitched slightly, she and Xie Chongning have no love at all, it is completely just to catch ducks on the shelves, although it is not as clear as she wants to calculate, but what she owes others has to be repaid.
Seeing that Mu Yu was silent for a long time, Xie Chongning continued, "Also, the way you call me, it's time to change your words." ”
"Opening? What's that called? Mu Yu asked in a low voice, "Brother Xie?" ”
When I was a child, Brother Ning, Brother Chongning's name was pro, but at that time she was a child, and occasionally softened in front of Xie Chongning and sold cuteness, just to brush up on goodwill.
But now that both of them are adults, how can she still scream?
Xie Chongning lowered his brows, as if he was not too satisfied with this title.
Seeing this, Mu Yu was even more embarrassed, "The adults don't want me to call it that?" ”
"Whatever you want." Xie Chongning had a cold face, and he didn't refute the first half of his mouth, but Na Mu Yu obviously felt that he was unpleasant.
"Brother Xie, I don't know if there is any news from Mu Liangxuan's three friends?" This topic can no longer be talked about, and it is clearly a dead end.
Xie Chongning raised his hand, took out a small note from the thick stack of documents on the right, and placed it in front of him, "These three people are not from the capital. ”
Mu Yu stepped forward, lowered his head and looked at the contents of the rice paper seriously, which introduced the background of the three of them and the business they did on the surface.
"These three people are selling tea?" Mu Yu couldn't help but think of Juxian Pavilion, the tea of Juxian Pavilion comes from all over the world, will there be tea contacts with these people?
"On the surface." Xie Chongning replied.
But on this paper, there are only some superficial introductions, and she doesn't think that Xie Chongning has not conducted an in-depth investigation, "Is there only so much information?" ”
"These people are well hidden, and my people don't see their problems." But the more natural it seems on the surface, the more suspicious it becomes.
Mu Yu pursed his lips, "Fortunately, now that we and Sanfang have separated, even if these three people really have problems, as long as they don't affect our Luanping Hou Mansion, it's fine." ”
"No, it won't." Xie Chongning said lightly.
Mu Yu has now had a matter on her mind, naturally she is relaxed, and when she returned home, she remembered the hundreds of taels of silver tickets that the old lady had deposited with her, and she had already told her eldest brother about this.
Although the old lady treats her badly, but to the eldest brother, it is really distressing, this is the old lady's coffin book, she has to return it, and it also makes the old lady feel more comfortable.
These days, the old lady closes herself in the door all day long, and no one can get in from the maids who go out to deliver meals and serve.
When Mu Yu stood at the door, the maids begged in a low voice as if they had seen the dawn of dawn, "Miss, go in and see the old lady, she has been locking herself in the house, and no matter how much we persuade her, she will not come out." ”
She listened to the maid's words and gently tapped the door frame twice, "Grandmother, it's me, Mu Yu." ”
There was no response in the room for a long time, and Mu Yu knocked twice, "Grandmother, I came today for the eldest brother's business." ”
As soon as she heard that it was Mu Yi's matter, there was a rustling sound in the room for a while, and after a while, the old lady responded hoarsely, "You come in, what's wrong with Yi'er?" ”
Sure enough, as long as the old lady's eldest grandson was mentioned, her attitude changed.
"Grandmother, you can be regarded as opening the door to see me, if you don't come out again, stuffy in the house, will you all grow mushrooms?" Mu Yu observed the old lady up and down, except that her mental state was a little worse, but there was no major problem.
"You're about to say what's wrong with Yi'er? Is there not enough money to pay it back? The old lady was anxious, her eldest grandson was still being chased to repay her gambling debts, how could she have the heart to joke with Mu Yu.
Mu Yu took out the silver ticket given to him by the old lady from his arms and returned it in full, "Grandmother, this is your money, the eldest brother's debt has been repaid, and your money is useless." ”
"Still on?" The old lady knows how much silver there is in the house, and after dividing the family, she is afraid that it will not be enough to pay off the debt, so why can't she use it? "You little girl, don't you frame me, an old lady, if you don't have enough money, use it."
The old lady didn't dare to take the money, and she was full of doubts about Mu Yu's words.
"Grandmother, I know you're worried about your eldest brother, but this debt is really repaid." Mu Yu also knew why the old lady was suspicious, so he continued, "The silver in the house is not enough, but my mother and I still have some jewelry that we don't want, and it can still be worth some silver, and we all paid it back in the end. ”
The old lady nodded, this is the truth, and the wrinkles on her face were suddenly filled with a smile of joy, "It's good to be on it, it's good to be on it." ”
"Grandmother, you are so spoiled big brother, if I owe gambling debts outside, I think you have to pick up my bedding and throw it out." This old lady has a hard mouth and a soft heart, and she is uncomfortable in her heart and doesn't say anything, so Mu Yu can only change the law to make the old lady feel comfortable.
The old lady also ate a set, and when she listened to Mu Yu's words, she immediately became angry, "Hmph, you little girl still dare to go to the gambling house?" If that's the case, I'll be the first to call you. ”
"Grandmother, you are partial, if you do this again, I won't return your silver ticket." Mu Yu said so, but the silver ticket in his hand was still sent forward.
The old lady was anxious when she heard this, and she didn't know where she got the strength, so she instantly snatched the silver ticket in Mu Yu's hand, "You stinky girl, you dare?" Let's go, I'm upset when I see you, get me out. ”
As she spoke, the old lady picked up the crutches beside the bed and threatened to blow her away.
Mu Yu took two quick steps, dodged the old lady's crutches, and escaped from the old lady's house.
Looking at the moment when Mu Yu stepped out of the door, the old lady holding the silver ticket had tears in her eyes, and she couldn't help but fall down.
The maid guarding the door saw that the young lady was driven out by the old lady, and hurriedly walked in to check the old lady's situation, but saw the old lady sitting at the head of the bed crying silently. Suddenly panicked, "Old lady, what's wrong with you, is it that Miss is upsetting you." ”
The old lady threw down the cane in her hand, and with tears in her eyes, she smoothed out the crumpled silver ticket in her hand, "That girl, I'm afraid I owe her." ”
"Old lady?" The maid was even more puzzled by the old lady's brainless sentence?
"Hey." The old lady saw her tears soaking herself on the silver ticket, so she slowly restrained her tears, "This stinky girl." ”
The old lady has lived for such a long time, she has seen everything in the end, and her heart is very clear, but she can pretend to be confused before, she doesn't like Shen Mei Yes, but Mu Yu, this girl is indeed innocently implicated, and she raised her eyebrows coldly, but at the critical moment, this girl still cares about herself.
The girl saw that she couldn't put it down, so she gave herself a step down, but over the years, she had done too many things wrong, and she owed this girl too much.
As for Mu Yu's resentment towards the old lady in her heart, she let go when she saw the old lady reluctantly take out all her private money.
The old lady is an old man, what did she do wrong in the past, why bother holding on to it?
Without three rooms, the house is exceptionally clean, but it is also extraordinarily warm, and with Mu Yu's "teasing" from time to time, the old lady is getting more and more angry every day, and she is not nesting in her own yard, but has not walked to the main courtyard for a long time to bask in the sun.
The chance of the old lady and Shen Mei meeting is getting bigger and bigger, and she will never embarrass Shen Mei again, at most, she dislikes two sentences, but in Mu Yu's eyes, she is also upright.
For example, on this day, she sat in the gazebo with her mother embroidering, and the old lady saw it from afar, so she walked towards their mother and daughter.
