Second Master Mu's sudden return to the house caught everyone in the mansion off guard, some were panicked, and some watched the excitement.

However, Mu Qingwan's brothers and sisters sat in the small courtyard and "gossiped" in a friendly manner, full of warmth.

"Sister, osmanthus cake."

Mu Lan tugged at Mu Qingwan's sleeve and never forgot the osmanthus cake.

"Okay, you little gluttonous cat, I'll make it for you."

Mu Qingwan was helpless, and pinched Mu Lan's little nose dotingly.

"Sister, it's the best, I like my sister the most."

Mu Lan threw herself into Mu Qingwan's arms and was coquettish and cute.

"Hmph, sycophant."

Mu Yan looked at Mu Lan jealously, envious. Looking at Mu Yan's eager and embarrassed appearance, Mu Qingwan felt funny, Ah Yan always regarded himself as an adult now, but in fact, he was only seven years old.

"Ah Yan also go together, let's help together, my sister will cook herself today and enjoy your face."

"Okay then."

Mu Yan replied arrogantly, but his heart was happy.

……

Xiao An's movements were very fast, and as soon as he had lunch, he went to the Buddhist hall and asked Aunt Li for a dowry.

"Yo, my aunt is chanting the scriptures, chanting to the Bodhisattva all day long, does the Bodhisattva have any instructions for my aunt? Hehe. ”

Xiao An stood behind Aunt Li and covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Why is the young lady here?"

Aunt Li turned the Buddha beads in her hand, and her eyes did not open.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the second child is back, and my father said Li, the mother's dowry that was handed over to you before for safekeeping, return it to the second child, after all, the mother's dowry is really justified when handed over to the second child, don't you say?"

Xiao Anshi said in a coquettish voice, but the words were justified but the tone was aggravated.

"Now that Zikun is back, my sister's dowry will naturally have to be returned to her, but it's been too long, and I don't remember it clearly, a lot of things have to be sorted out, and let's wait a few more days."

Aunt Li didn't seem to hear the ridicule in Xiao An's tone, and said calmly, as if she was stating something that could not be refused.

"Then I can't be the master, after all, everything is the second, and I haven't even seen a single hair from beginning to end. Since Aunt Li said so, I can only tell the second family as it is, as for whether I can agree, I don't count. ”

"Okay, the words have also been brought, I won't bother you to worship the Buddha and chant the scriptures, I'll go to the second room first."

Xiao Anshi didn't wait for Aunt Li to say anything more, turned around and walked outside the Buddha Hall, but stopped when one foot stepped out of the threshold, Xiao Anshi turned around and looked at Aunt Li's back with a smile, and said.

"It's not that I'm talking about you, Aunt Li is also such a big age, the money is all out of the body, so pay it back as soon as possible, it's not your own to hold it in your hands, and I'm not afraid of hot hands, hehe."

Xiao An's walked away, and Aunt Li kept her posture unchanged, but her lips were trembling.

"Hehe, not your own? Why? ”

Xiao An, who left the Buddhist hall, went straight to Hanxiangyuan to see Mrs. Mu.

At this time, Mu Qingwan had already made the osmanthus cake, put it on a plate, and took Mu Yan and Mu Lan to Mrs. Mu's residence. When Xiao An's went, the sisters and brothers were laughing around Mrs. Mu.

"Brother and sister, let's get used to it."

Xiao An's twisted his plump waist and entered the door, but his eyes were looking around.

"Sister-in-law. Of course, I am still used to it, and the Hanxiang Garden built by my mother has also put a lot of effort into it. Why did my sister-in-law come over? But what's the matter? ”

Listening to Mrs. Mu's words, Xiao Anshi gritted his teeth hatefully.

"Where are my younger siblings talking about, can't you come and see if you're fine? Didn't my father say that Aunt Li would give you the dowry as soon as possible, and I would ask for you in the afternoon. Aunt Li said that she still had to clean up and take inventory, and she might have to wait a few days, so she didn't come to tell you. ”

"Oh. Is it? ”

Mrs. Mu was not in a hurry to ask, looked at Xiao An's, and said lightly.

"Hehe, of course, we have been concubines for so many years, how could I lie to you."

"Mother, eat."

Mu Lan held a piece of osmanthus cake in his hand and sent it to Mrs. Mu's mouth.

"Ah Lan is good, let's go eat with my sister and brother, my mother won't eat."

"Oh."

When Mu Lan heard Mrs. Mu say this, he kicked his little short legs and ran away. Xiao An's eyes flashed, and the handkerchief in his hand tightened unconsciously.

"My brother and sister are so blessed to have given birth to such a good son. After so many years, the second brother is really good to his younger siblings. ”

Xiao An's Jiao smiled and joked, and her tone was full of sourness.

"Where did my sister-in-law say, I still envy my sister-in-law for giving birth to two daughters, I like daughters more than sons, how delicate and soft they are."

Mrs. Mu looked at Xiao An with a smile.

"Huh."

Mrs. Mu responded to Xiao An's with a match, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and Xiao An's couldn't sit still no matter how thick-skinned she was, so she got up and left.

"Brother and sister, Aunt Li's side, I also brought the words, and I am powerless to be the rest."

"Thank you sister-in-law for your help."

……

After Mrs. Mu sent Xiao An away, she sat on the couch and thought for a moment, then got up and took out a small box from a box, which contained a yellowed list.

Mrs. Mu called the in and handed the list to the.

"Here is a list of my mother's dowry, and if my mother hadn't entrusted it to a faithful old man before she died, I am afraid it would have been taken long ago. Hehe, I'm afraid no one thought that the list would be in our hands. You take it and copy it, and then go to the treasury to check and count it, and if there are any missing items and write them down, I will see if I can get them all back. ”

"Yes, ma'am."

"By the way, let's arrange it, it is estimated that someone will arrange eyeliner to Hanxiangyuan in the next few days, and let our people find a way to get in when the time comes."

"Yes."

……

Xu Niangzi got the order and quickly copied a list, and the original one was returned to Mrs. Mu. didn't look for Aunt Li, took auspiciousness and Ruyi, and went directly to the treasury in the house.

The steward of the storeroom, still yawning and dazed, looked at the visitor and rubbed his eyes.

"What are you? What do you do in the storeroom? ”

"I am the housekeeper of the second room, and I am ordered by the second young grandmother to count the dowry of the first lady."

"What Mrs. Xian, how come I don't know, go and go, the treasury is the key, not everyone can come."

The steward spoke a little weakly, and sent the away one by one.

"Little brother, I'm offended."

The gave Jixiang a look, and Jixiang stepped forward and took down the steward with a grappler.

"Hey, who of you dare to go wild in the Hou Mansion, let me go."

The location of the warehouse is relatively remote, and there are very few people coming and going on weekdays, and no one hears the housekeeper's call.

"Where is the dowry? Trouble brother to inform. ”

"What dowry, I don't know. Yes! It hurts, it hurts, I said, I said the innermost room in the northwest corner. Tap and tap, you better go quickly, Aunt Li is in charge of that side, if she knows, you won't be able to eat and leave. ”

The steward began to pretend not to know, but Jixiang increased the strength in his hand, and the steward was instigated, and all of them were recruited.

"Tie it up, let's go and see."

"Oh, don't don't don't tell me everything, what do you do for me, woo, woo."

Ruyi found a rope to tie the person, picked up the steward's sweat towel and stuffed it into his mouth, and quickly caught up with the.
