After washing up, Chen Muzhi's tiredness is completely gone. The catkins combed her hair, and her heart was happy.

"Miss is so good-looking."

"Is it better than it was before you left the house last fall?"

"The slave and maid feel better. However, they say you're dark-skinned. But the slave felt that it didn't matter, it was sun-dried on the sea, and when she came back to raise it for half a month, she naturally came back in vain. ”

The catkins are still children's hearts, and they can't make up any nonsense.

"Miss, the vine flower that just stayed in Xiangju is here."

"Oh, what is she doing here?"

"Hello. I also asked if you wanted to be a young lady. ”

Chen Muzhi suppressed his heart and rolled and sighed slightly: "Naturally, I want to." My sister has been the best for me......"

"Sister Fujihua sent this to Miss, saying that you can understand it at a glance."

The catkins handed over a sachet, half-new, embroidered with a plum branch, which was originally a simple pattern, but the embroidery was crooked, and the stitches were uneven.

Just such an old thing, Chen Muzhi clenched it so tightly that he almost shed tears.

This is the first and only sachet embroidered by my sister Chen Muzhi as a beginner girl, and I gave it to my sister Chen Muxi. Since then, her sister Chen Muzhi has been determined not to be a popular student, and her father has also doted on her to continue dancing with guns and sticks.

Chen Muxi, the elder sister of the year, cherished her sister's mind, and carried the sachet with her all the time, filled with some incense powder or copper coins, and then the color gradually became old, and the skillful rattan flowers made a new one for her, and she didn't want it, only wearing her sister's one.

Now, the affairs of the two sisters have finally returned to the hands of the "two sisters".

There is still something in the sachet. Chen Muzhi took it out and unfolded his palm, and there was a string of delicately woven bright red ropes, tied with three old copper coins.

Chen Muzhi, who was still sad in his heart, suddenly understood the intention of the vine flower, and smiled: "See, this is the old custom of my mother to eliminate evil and drive away disasters, and it is difficult for the vine flower to remember it." She used to be the most intimate with her sister, and tomorrow you call Fujihua, I want to talk to her. ”

Liu Wu pouted: "I'm afraid I won't be able to come." This is no longer the case. The vine flower is very pitiful now, and a lot of work in Liuxiangju belongs to her, and after a winter, her hands are full of chilblains. I just took a moment to come over, and I hurried back without saying a word, for fear of finding out and being beaten. ”

"Beaten?" Chen Muzhi was shocked.

The Guogong Mansion has always been very good to his subordinates, not to mention the personal maid like Fujihua, who grew up serving the young lady, usually not talking about brocade clothes and food, at least it is much better than the daughter of a poor family outside.

She only knew that when she was still Chen Muxi, she was as close as a sister to the vine flower, and she never moved a finger, even if she didn't even reprimand her loudly.

is that Chen Muxi has "died of incense", and this house will not embarrass a maid.

What has happened in the past few months? Xingguo was beaten to death, and it can be said that he did not serve the eldest lady wholeheartedly, so that the eldest lady died in the lotus pond. What did the vine flower do wrong, and she wanted to fall to the point of being beaten and scolded at any time?

Surprised, she could only ask as the second lady.

"She is the eldest maid of Liuxiangju, how can she do rough washing work? And who would dare to do it to her? ”

Ai Ai during the catkins period, but she was still unconvinced: "Liuxiangju now lives in Miss Uncle, who is a blessing and a blessing, and spends all the old people, rattan flowers, Qingtong, life is sad." ”

"Wang Hualan, she actually moved to Liuxiangju? Who allowed it! ”

Chen Muzhi was extremely angry, and with a "snap", he slapped the copper coin string in his hand on the table.

Liu Fu was frightened: "Miss, don't be angry, Miss Uncle moved in, of course Mrs. agreed." ”

Chen Muzhi turned around suddenly and stared at the catkins: "So Peach Leaf was transferred to Liuxiangju, so Guerlain changed her name to Qingtong, isn't it?" It's just the word 'Lan', she can't tolerate it, really think she is Miss Chen? ”

You must know that Chen Muzhi is only more than thirteen years old, and in the eyes of everyone, she has always been a girl who is ignorant of the world and only loves to dance with knives and guns.

"Little ...... Miss, you ...... Don't be angry, Miss Uncle said that the eldest lady is too conniving with people, and Liuxiangju is full of undesirable goods, but the peach leaves have been transferred, and they have eaten several times......"

The more Chen Muzhi listened, the more shocked he became: "Is the surname of the Guogong Mansion surnamed Wang now?" ”

Liu Wu did not dare to speak.

"That's it. Don't be afraid. Chen Muzhi took a breath, and his face suddenly calmed down, "Let me ask you, let's Ning Xiangju, how many are left of the eight servants and eight maids in the past?" ”

"There are two rough maids cleaning outside, and I and Ah Terrier are still left in the house."

This is only a quarter left, that is, he reappeared in the world and returned to Hechun Garden, and the Wang family did not take himself seriously.

Chen Muzhi picked up the copper coin string on the table, put it back into the sachet, and carefully pinned it to his waist. The catkins hurriedly came over to help and smoothed the ears.

"You and Ah Terrier, there's nowhere to go." Chen Muzhi said.

Liu Fu blushed: "How does Miss know?" ”

"You must be too young elsewhere. I didn't die yet, so I sent the people in my house away, which is good. ”

Seeing her sneering, Liu Fu was anxious: "Miss, don't go to fight, there are many kung fu nurses in Madame's courtyard now, and you can't beat them." ”

Yes, this is going to change the previous Chen Muzhi, and he must have pulled out his sword and killed him. But now Chen Muzhi will no longer be so impulsive.

She turned to look at a sword hanging from the wall.

The blade of this sword is slightly shorter than an ordinary long sword, Chen Muzhi raised his eyebrows, and said deliberately: "My father gave me a sword, it is indeed for me to fight, Liu Wu, you reminded me." ”

As he spoke, Chen Muzhi stepped forward, drew his sword, and looked at the cold light that flashed above the blade with a smile.

Liu Wu was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Oh, Miss, Grandpa Guo gave you a sword, but Grandpa Guo also said that your reckless temper of fighting and killing at every turn must be changed!" ”

Chen Muzhi put away the sword, and there was a smile on his face: "It's going to be changed." God gave me this opportunity, if I don't fight, kill, kill, it's a waste; It will only fight and kill, and it is also a waste. ”

Liu Fu didn't understand her words, only knew that she had put away the sword, probably not going to kill it immediately, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Muzhi was secretly a little surprised in his heart.

When she drew her sword just now, there was an uncontrollable power in her hand, exactly like the feeling she felt when she picked up her weapon on the ship.

This body, after all, is the body of her sister, and occasionally, she will not be able to control the instincts of this body.

Chen Muzhi thought that if it weren't for the catkins in front of her, she wouldn't want to control it at all. This is the last vestige of her beloved sister, the real Chen Muzhi, in this world, and she wants to keep traces for her sister.

She had to respect her sister's instincts.

*

It was full of a reception banquet and was set up in the side hall of Jiashi Hall.

There were five people sitting on the table, Wang was in the center, and eight-year-old Chen Yu was sitting next to her, staring at the door with a pair of big round eyes.

Wang's brother-in-law, Wang Qidao, who lived in Beijing temporarily, sat in her lower position, and Wang Qidao's wife Xu and daughter Wang Hualan.

It can be seen that Wang Hualan has been deliberately dressed up, and the rouge is thicker than usual.

To say that her appearance is also pretty, but she lacks some natural extravagance. The restless eyes were a failure, and they couldn't suppress her grandeur.

Chen Yu was a child in the end, and after staring at the door for a long time, he couldn't hold back, so he asked, "When will the second sister come?" ”

"Yu'er is hungry, right?" Wang smiled indulgently, and said to the maid, "Didn't you see that the little master was hungry?" Let the kitchen bring a snack first. ”

Turning his head and soothing Chen Yu again: "Yu'er is good, the second sister didn't come, and the dishes on the table can't be moved." ”

Chen Yu blinked, feeling that his mother seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, he was missing his second sister, so he was in a hurry, not hungry.

Xu took the opportunity to speak.

"My sister is really good-natured, she didn't come to invite her three times, and she left her elders to dry, and in our Wang family, she was going to use the family law."

After that, he pursed his lips contemptuously.

didn't think about it, Chen Muzhi didn't arrive early or late, but this time came.

Moreover, this sentence was heard by Chen Muzhi.

"Fortunately, this is Hechun Garden, it is the Guogong Mansion, and it is our Chen family, and it is not my uncle's turn to call the shots, otherwise I will not be able to escape the family law today." With a crisp voice, Chen Muzhi clapped his hands and walked in.

When Chen Yu saw her, he was overjoyed and shouted, "Second sister! ”

Chen Muzhi walked to the table, quickly saluted Wang Qidao and his wife, and then sat down next to Chen Yu and took Chen Yu's little hand affectionately.

"Brother, you say, who loves us the most?"

Chen Yu pulled Chen Muzhi with one hand, and Wang with the other, and said happily: "Mother loves us the most." ”

It's true.

Wang is very good to Chen Yu, he personally asks about everything, in addition to going to school, he usually always takes it with him, and he will try his best to meet all Chen Yu's requirements.

Let's put it this way, if Chen Yu wants the moon in the sky, the Wang family will definitely sacrifice himself on the ladder to the sky.

Hearing Chen Yu say this in public, Wang's face was also very bright, and he couldn't hide his pride.

"Although you are not my own child, but I brought it up single-handedly, in my heart, it is no different from my own birth, who does it hurt you if it doesn't hurt you?"

Chen Muzhi smiled and looked at the Xu family: "Did my uncle hear it, this is called mother's kindness and filial piety." My mother has always treated me well, and I listened to everything she said. Today, my mother asked me to freshen up well, and I was not in a hurry to do anything else, and I also listened to her. My aunt is so serious, I ask for family law at every turn, and your Wang family's family law must be busy to death. ”

The Xu family had only heard of Chen Muzhi's stubbornness before, but he didn't expect that even the elders would dare to contradict him, and he had been holding a gun from the first sentence he entered the house.

was ridiculed by her, and Xu Shi's face suddenly became a little uncomfortable.

"There are no rules, of course, you have to serve the family law, otherwise what will the house become!"

Chen Muzhi crossed over Chen Yu and put his hand on the hand held by Chen Yu and Wang, and his tone was quite coquettish: "Last time, I stole my father's darts to fight wild sparrows, and my father was so angry that he wanted to use the family law, what did my mother say?" ”

Maybe it was because of the mention of Chen Yu'an, Wang's smile suddenly stiffened: "Yu'er is hungry, let's eat first, talk while eating." ”

Chen Muzhi was not hungry, she would not let the Wang family divert the topic.

"Mother said that the important thing is to convince people with virtue. The family law is obedient, and the fear is the family law; It's the rules taught by the parents that are the respectful parents. ”

Wang Shi was angry and laughed: "Little ghost, I remember this clearly." ”

Chen Muzhi smiled: "Mother's words, Mu Zhi remembers everything clearly." Therefore, our national mansion is different from your royal family. The mother will not ask for the family law casually, and the mother will convince people with virtue. ”

It's really a lot of "mother's kindness and filial piety", which immediately extinguished Xu's arrogance on the ground, and he rolled twice quietly.

But Xu's can't lose his temper again, after all, Chen Muzhi used it to block Xu's mouth, and every word was the original words in Wang's mouth, and Xu's wanted to refute it, just to give Wang's a good look.

Xu Shi was not so stupid, so he had to hate the dishes in front of him, chewing them bigger than usual.

Probably because the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little awkward, and the reception was a little not "smooth sailing", and the father and daughter of the Wang family wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

Wang Qi said: "When does Mu Zhi plan to start school?" ”

Chen Muzhi: "If I don't go to school, I want to practice darts." ”

Wang Qi said: "......"

Wang Qi said: "I heard that there is no food on the ship, and Mu Zhi has suffered a lot this time." ”

Chen Muzhi: "I catch fish in the sea and eat them raw." It's better than bitterness. ”

Wang Qi said: "......"

Wang Hualan: "Eating raw fish will make you upset, so don't eat it like this in the future." ”

Chen Muzhi: "Lied to you." I can make a fire on the boat, and I eat grilled fish. ”

Wang Hualan: "......"

Wang Hualan: "I heard that the boat has been floating at sea for several months, and my cousin is afraid of you when I think about it, and you said that if it wasn't discovered by fishermen......

Chen Muzhi: "If it hadn't been discovered by the fishermen, I wouldn't have known that you lived in Liuxiangju." ”

Wang Hualan: "......"

This time, Chen Muzhi will not let her go. Immediately asked, "Cousin, when are you going to move out?" ”
