Chapter 14: The Midnight Visitor
Aunt Li's heart is really not small.
It was not convenient at night, so everyone went back to the house after a little look.
"Okay, it's not too early, you all go back to your yard to rest."
Mrs. Mu sent a few children away, obviously wanting to discuss things with Second Master Mu.
Mu Qingwan led Mu Lan back to the yard, now the time is only seven or eight o'clock in modern times, it is too early to go to bed, and Mu Lan is still interested in pulling Mu Qingwan to play together.
When leaving the warehouse, Mu Qingwan "Shun" walked two big night pearls, and when she returned to the house, she found auspicious ruyi and put it on the specially made lampstand, and the room instantly brightened up a lot. Compared with the smoked eyes without lights, the lighting with night pearls is indeed much more upgrade.
"Hehe, sister, it's so good-looking. Tomorrow I will also find my mother's mother. ”
Mu Lan stupidly took Mu Qingwan's hand.
Mu Qingwan opened her head and tasted the sweetness, who would want to use a kerosene lamp. Since then, Mu Erye's family has used the night pearl to illuminate, and the treasures that are priceless in the eyes of others are just tools for lighting when they come here. Of course, that's all for later.
"Sister, let's play with blocks."
Mu Lan took Mu Qingwan's hand and went straight to his treasure box, which was full of all kinds of educational toys.
Speaking of the origin of these toys, we have to mention Mu Qingwan's crossing of the villager, the current Miss Li Ying of the Ankang Hou Mansion.
Li Ying opened a store called the Chess and Card Club in the capital, and from time to time she would launch some new toys. After the first poker opened the door, every time the chess and card club launched a new game, it would be sought after, such as later blocks, puzzles, tangrams, flying chess and chess, etc., which were more popular.
Li Ying launched these things in Dajing, which was in the arms of Mu Qingwan, there were too few entertainment activities in ancient times, and there were almost no children's toys. But like building blocks, these are puzzle games that can be a good way to develop children's brain power. So once the chess and card club comes out with a new toy, Mu Qingwan will let people buy it for Mu Lan to play with, not only Mu Lan, but even the seven-year-old Mu Yan likes it very much. Slowly, I saved up a large box.
"Sister, put it here, put it here."
Mu Lan is only three years old, children are more likely to get sleepy, today is another whole day walking, and now he has begun to breathe. Seeing Mu Lan trying to play with her eyes open, Mu Qingwan's heart melted.
He kissed Mu Lan's little face and said softly.
"Alan, it's time to sleep, is it okay for my sister to take you to sleep? Play again tomorrow. ”
"Well, sleepy, sister."
Mu Lan rubbed into Mu Qingwan's arms like a little milk cat, and finally closed his eyes and fell asleep with peace of mind.
After settling Mu Lan, Mu Qingwan went back to her room.
"Auspicious, fetch water, I want to bathe."
Mu Qingwan loves cleanliness, there are no other accidents, and there is a bath almost every day.
Mu Qingwan did such a thing as bathing herself, and did not let the maids get close. After washing, Mu Qingwan wiped her wet hair with a cotton handkerchief and walked out of the clean room.
At the beginning of August, the weather became cool, but it was neither hot nor lukewarm, and the air was filled with the sweet aroma of osmanthus flowers.
Mu Qingwan sat on the soft couch and wiped her hair, when she heard a sudden slight sound in the room.
After practicing martial arts, his ears and eyes were clear, and although this voice was subtle, it could not escape Mu Qingwan's ears.
Mu Qingwan continued to move in her hands quietly, but her eyes were looking around, looking for something that could defend herself.
"Hey, little girl, long time no see."
A cynical familiar voice came, and it turned out to be Jing Yao.
Inexplicably, Mu Qingwan relaxed, and turned to look at the person helplessly.
"The eleventh prince is here, I don't know what to do."
"You, why don't you get dressed."
Responding to Mu Qingwan was indeed Jing Yao's jumping foot, Jing Yao turned around with a blushing face and stammered.
"Huh?"
Mu Qingwan held her forehead, crying and laughing, what do you mean by not wearing clothes, is it good to wear obscene clothes and pants? It's not just a belly pocket.
"The eleventh prince said cautiously, where am I not wearing clothes? There wasn't a single piece of skin on his body. ”
Despite saying that, Mu Qingwan still put on her coat.
Jing Yao pricked up his ears and listened to the sound of squirming and getting dressed behind him, and his ears became even redder. The sound finally ended, and he turned around slowly.
"You're dressed, aren't you? I turned around, I turned. ”
"You said that you are also a big girl, so you still have to pay attention in the future. Although, it doesn't matter if it's seen by me, what if it's seen by someone else? It can't be like that again. ”
Jing Yao educated Mu Qingwan in a rambling manner, with a sour taste in his tone.
"Eleventh Prince, what are you doing without you? Breaking into a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night, what the hell is going on? ”
Mu Qingwan really couldn't stand Jing Yao's broken thoughts, so she interrupted.
"Oh, haven't we seen each other for a long time, I'll come and see you."
"Huh? Didn't we just meet the other day? ”
"You, hum, the young master is still thinking about you. Your two beads are good, why didn't you think of it, it's much better than a kerosene lamp, and I'll try it when I go back. ”
Jing Yao was slapped in the face, so he stopped continuing the topic with Mu Qingwan, and the topic turned to the illuminated Night Pearl, and he was amazed at the Night Pearl.
"Of course, yes."
Mu Qingwan continued to wipe her hair in her hand, although it was not cold, but after all, August was autumn, and it was not beautiful to catch a cold.
"By the way, have you been investigating the affairs of the old aunt in the mansion recently, let me tell you, this old aunt is not as simple as you see on the face, there is someone behind her, I can't tell you who it is, but you have to pay attention, I will help secretly, just recover the money, don't dig deeper."
Jing Yao no longer giggled, and approached Mu Qingwan seriously.
"How do you know that we are investigating Aunt Li's affairs again?"
Mu Qingwan's first reaction was that her actions were actually under the noses of others, and she had a feeling that her every move was being monitored.
"There are eyes everywhere in the capital, it is difficult to hide something, and looking at Second Master Mu's actions, I don't plan to hide this from anyone? It's hard to know. Not only can I know, but everyone else can know too, and come and tell you. ”
"Also, although this capital is not Longtan Tiger's Den, but there are many curves and curves, no matter who you talk to in the future, you must be more attentive, don't trust others easily."
"If nothing else, Second Master Mu will stay in the capital in the future. I came here on purpose to tell you that you should be cautious in everything in the future, but don't suffer losses. ”
……
Jing Yao carefully instructed Mu Qingwan to be cautious in everything.
"Hey, but don't worry, I'll protect you. Who made you be, you are, hey, stupid girl. ”
In the end, Jing Yao muttered to himself, but Mu Qingwan was distracted but didn't hear clearly.
"What?"
"It's nothing, I'll go first, you have to remember."
After Jing Yao finished speaking, he didn't wait for Mu Qingwan's reaction, he turned the window and left, Mu Qingwan lived on the second floor, and outside the window was a small forest, Jing Yao's figure was immediately hidden in the woods and there was no trace.
"No wonder."
Mu Qingwan felt that her father and mother's behavior was too much fanfare, not like the previous style of doing things, and the original intention was here.
Compared with other people's conspiracy, Second Master Mu and Mrs. Mu used a yang scheme, rather than acting secretly but being suspicious by all parties, it is better to put things on the bright side openly.
