Shen Mei looked at her daughter, and said that she knew her daughter Mo Ruomu, she suddenly felt that Mu Liangxuan's gambling debt had nothing to do with the rumor, but in order not to let the old lady see anything, she hurriedly followed and said, "I can get together here, and I can also take out two hundred taels, as for the more, I really don't have it." ”

Although the old lady felt that three hundred taels was a little less, it was much better than not being able to take out a penny, so she could only wave her hand, "Then you go back first and make up for it, and then talk about the rest when you come back." ”

On the way back, Shen Mei and Mu Yu walked side by side, "Yu'er, do you know about this matter?" ”

"Mother sees?" Mu Yu smiled evilly, "Mu Liangxuan has been too rampant recently, and my eldest brother and I have come up with such a method." ”

"He's not going to track you down, is he?" Shen Mei couldn't help but have a headache, his eldest son was even more naughty than his daughter.

Mu Yu shook his head firmly, "Mother, don't worry, Mu Liangxuan will never find us, because we have negotiated terms with the casino, and this debt collection will be handed over to the casino, and we will not come forward." ”

"That's good, you two are usually careful, don't let people find out anything, as for Mu Liangxuan's side, I will take out two hundred taels, and let the old lady have a good time." Shen Mei has a number in his heart, and he won't feel distressed when he pays the money, and he will return to Yu'er in the end anyway.

"Well, you don't need to take too much, you take too much, although it is to solve the urgent need now, it is difficult to guarantee that grandmother will not settle accounts after the autumn, she is fine." Mu Yu also thought so, although the money was back in her hands, and she didn't feel distressed when she took out any amount, but she also had to let Sanfang bleed well, otherwise these people would not have a lesson.

And if their mother and daughter took out too much money at once, if the old lady thought about it afterwards, she would definitely ask where the money came from, and it would be even more troublesome at that time.

The mother and daughter made up a silver ticket of more than three hundred taels, and hurriedly walked into the old lady's courtyard, Mu Yu presented the silver ticket with both hands, "Grandmother, this is my mother's private money, a total of three hundred and twenty taels, there is really no more." ”

"Three hundred and twenty taels? I don't believe it? How can you only have so much money? You must be reluctant to give it to me! Mu Liangxuan reluctantly looked at a few small amount of silver tickets, three hundred taels was a fraction.

Mu Yu hung his hands, maintained the posture of presenting it to the old lady, and said embarrassedly, "Brother, my mother and I really poured out all the private money, if you take out some more, you can only use the money in the house, and then it will alarm my father, let alone the three hundred and twenty taels, I'm afraid you won't be able to get twenty taels." ”

The old lady sighed deeply, "You really don't have anything?" ”

Mu Yu shook his head aggrievedly, "Grandmother, you also know how much money my mother and I have every month, except for the rouge gouache and gold and silver jewelry, where is there left?" These twenty taels were saved by me deducting Qionglan and Biyue's reward for half a year. ”

The old lady was helpless, and thought about it for the first time, feeling that Mu Yu didn't lie to herself, after all, after so many years, she was a grandmother who was in charge of the house and only saved eight hundred taels of silver, but it was all she used as her coffin, and now it was because of Xuan'er, a stinky boy, who was bleeding profusely.

"Okay, three hundred and twenty taels is three hundred and twenty taels, you can go." The old lady waved her hand, full of helplessness.

Mu Liangxuan panicked, "Grandmother can't let them go, if they leave, what do I need to do with the rest of the money?" ”

The old lady glared at Mu Liangxuan as a warning and told him not to say anything more.

Mu Liangxuan stomped his feet angrily, the ground trembled a few times, and let go of Mu Yu's mother and daughter.

After the mother and daughter walked away, the old lady reached out and picked up the Nanmu crutches beside her, "You kid, you can cause trouble, isn't it good to stay honest?" ”

"Grandmother, these three hundred and twenty taels are nothing at all, and there are more than six hundred taels left, what do you want me to do?" Mu Liangxuan was afraid that the old lady would not care about him, so he hurriedly pulled the old lady's sleeve and refused to let go.

"You little bunny, let go." The old lady raised her crutches and was about to hit Mu Liangxuan.

Mu Liangxuan immediately sat on the ground like a fool, rolled around, and saw that the old lady was angry and distressed, "You stinky boy, hurry up, I'll go get you money." ”

Hearing the money, Mu Liangxuan sat up straight, his face full of anticipation. In the end, the old lady took out five hundred taels and handed them over to Mu Liangxuan along with the three hundred and twenty taels, "Here are five hundred taels, as for how much is missing, you ask your mother to make up for it, I don't believe that your mother is in the Hou Mansion and has not saved any money." ”

"But ......" Mu Liangxuan was still not satisfied, in fact, he had already concealed three hundred taels, and if he let his mother take out four hundred taels at once, his mother would definitely scold himself.

"But what? I've given you the coffin, what are you not satisfied with, let your mother take the rest to you, hurry up, let me be quiet. The old lady smacked her crutches on the ground twice and drove Mu Liangxuan away.

On the second day, Mu Liangxuan gathered all the money and handed it to the person who collected the debt at the door, and the person who guarded the gate for a few days before he dispersed.

Mu Yi took the silver ticket recovered from the casino and prepared to share it with his sister, "I heard that you and your mother gave Mu Liangxuan that fool money?" ”

"Grandmother has found her head, so she can't take it." Mu Yu boldly tore the tender and juicy chicken, and ate it with a fragrant mouth. "And if I don't come up with something, they will be ready to sell the dowry again, isn't this a retreat, besides, the money is not in our hands in the end."

"This lesson is not enough, Mu Liangxuan has no face and no skin, this kind of small lesson will only make him honest for a few days at most, and after a long time, he will forget it." Mu Yi patted five hundred taels on Mu Yu's table, "This is for you, as for the money that my mother took, I will go and return it to my mother." ”

"Then you must not let your father see it!" This thing was secretly done by my father, but if my father saw it when I repaid the money, could my father not ask about it?

"Don't worry, I know."

Mu Yu was in a good mood, and her mind was also lively, five hundred taels of silver were in hand, if she put the silver ticket up, it would only be moldy, she had to go out to see if there was any way to make money money, after all, money is not omnipotent, but without money, it is absolutely impossible.

After having such an idea, she even had a little more business vision when she was shopping with Lin Wanyun, and she had to come forward and ask about anything.

She was picking up a hosta in front of the stall, and looked up to face a black back on the Xinghua Building, which was somewhat similar to the man in the gambling house, but when the man turned around, Mu Yu was surprised, the person above the teahouse was none other than Xie Chongning.

"What are you looking at?" Wan Wan was stunned when she saw Mu Yu, followed her gaze, and also caught a glimpse of Xie Chongning, she had seen Fang Xiao before, and she also knew that Fang Xiao intended to match Xie Chongning and Mu Yu, so when she saw Xie Chongning at this time, she muttered in a low voice, "Yu'er, what do you think of my eldest brother?" ”

"Why do you suddenly ask that?" Mu Yu turned his head suspiciously.

"Actually, I also know that my uncle and aunt made a marriage between you and my brother behind your back, I'm afraid you don't like my brother." Lin Yunyun was a little weak-hearted, in fact, she was also an insider, but she was selfish, so she also hid Mu Yu.

"Although they deliberately concealed it from me, but in the end I found out on my own, and I also agreed to the engagement by myself, so don't worry too much." Mu Yu smiled softly.

Above the teahouse, Fang Xiao caught a glimpse of the two of them, he was the insider of Mu Yu and Lin Changjin's engagement, "Do you know about the engagement between the girl in Luanping Houfu and Lin Changjin?" ”

"Hmm." Xie Chongning replied seemingly casually.

"You didn't react at all?" Fang Xiao raised his eyebrows, "When Miss Mu and Lu are ready, the two of them will get married, and you will never have a chance again." ”

"What opportunities do I need?" Xie Chongning raised his eyes faintly, as if he really didn't care. said that he didn't care, but his hand hanging under the table clenched the sachet on his waist, and his fingertips were white.

"By the way, tomorrow the saint of southern Xinjiang is going to enter the capital, and there will be a dinner party at that time, but I don't know what this saint of southern Xinjiang looks like, if it is a beauty." Fang Xiao saw that others didn't care, so he didn't have any intention of matchmaking.

After all, Mu Yu and Lin Changjin are already engaged, and he is a bystander, although he has the heart to help his friends, he can't beat the mandarin ducks.

"You've not seen it yet." Xie Chongning took a sip of tea, and his eyes followed the figure of Mu Yu downstairs.

"Seen? When have I seen it? Fang Xiao thought carefully about the people he had seen in the past few days, and there were no candidates at all, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, "Could it be that you are talking about Miss Yixue?" ”

If Fang Xiao couldn't think of it, Xie Chongning would definitely not remind, "It seems that you are not too stupid to be hopeless." ”

"Why do you like to taunt me in different ways every day?" Fang Xiao shook the fan in his hand in a chic manner, and asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that Yi Xue is the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang?" ”

"Peacocks are the gods of southern Xinjiang." Just like the significance of the dragon to the Ming Dynasty, only the Son of Heaven can wear a dragon robe, and only the Holy Maiden can be a peacock in southern Xinjiang.

Fang Xiao suddenly closed the folding fan and slapped his palm suddenly, "Yes, why didn't I expect it, I hesitated when I saw her wearing a peacock that day, but I didn't think about it, it seems that you are still smart." ”

"But I remember that the saint visited Beijing, it seems that she intends to find a fast son-in-law in the capital, she fell in love with Lin Changjin before, and now Lin Changjin is engaged to Miss Mu, Miss Yixue is afraid that she will not have a chance." Fang Xiao regretted.

He had nothing to regret, because on the second day, at the banquet to welcome the saint of southern Xinjiang, the emperor took the initiative to ask Yi Xue, but when he met Ruyi Langjun in the capital, Yi Xue did not hesitate at all, and directly called Lin Changjin's name.

Lin Changjin and Mu Yu's engagement was done quietly, not to mention that Yi Xue didn't know, most of the courtiers hadn't heard of it, as soon as they heard that the holy girl fell in love with the eldest son of the Marquis of Changting, they went to congratulate them, but they were really sad about the Marquis of Changting and the Marquis of Luanping.

"Oh? The saint actually likes the eldest son of the Marquis of Changting? I don't know what is so special about this eldest son of the Marquis of Changting that he can get the favor of the saint? "The emperor hopes to make friends with Southern Xinjiang, and naturally agrees in his heart that the holy daughter can marry the eldest son of the Marquis of Changting.
