Chapter 33: The Xu Family Dart Game (1)
"Aunt Xu, they are all from her own family. My sister and I should go with you to visit you. Mu Chen said to the.
Although Mu Qi's family is a subordinate, the master of Mu Mansion has never despised them, Mu Qi is the brother of his father's birth and death, and Xu Niangzi has always helped Mrs. Mu to take care of the side plug business, taught Mu Qingwan to practice martial arts, and took good care of several children, Mu Qingwan's children treated Mu Qi and his wife like elders. But Mu Qi and the family have never been vain because of the attention of the masters, let alone anything that crosses the rules.
"That's right, Aunt Xu. Since we're on the way, let's go back, and we'll go together when the time comes. Mu Qingwan pulled the's sleeve.
"yes, okay." After the married Mu Qi, she put away her unruly body and became a backyard woman with peace of mind. He had difficulties in giving birth in his early years, and he had no hope of having children in this life, but thanks to Mrs. Mu's many inquiries, he found a prescription to give birth to a son, Mu Tong. are grateful to Mrs. Mu, and when they treat several children, treat them as if they were their own children. Hearing Mu Chen and Mu Qingwan's words,' eyes turned red.
The blacksmith shop has a wide range of iron tools, but the government has restrictions on weapons, so the weapons forged in the shop are limited and the styles are relatively traditional. Thinking that the large iron mines in ancient times were all controlled by the officials, and there were very few high-quality minerals among the people, and this was almost the best blacksmith shop, Mu Qingwan suddenly lost the interest of continuing to shop, and went back to the inn with Mu Chen after a circle.
After returning to the inn, I thought that I was going to's mother's house in the afternoon, and I couldn't lose my courtesy. So Mu Qingwan went to the's room, and the also introduced some information about her mother's family.
were born in a martial arts family, but they have fallen into the family of their father's generation, and when were two years old, their mother also passed away. In order to make a living, my father changed his career to start a dart business, and when it came to the generation of, there were only two children in the family, her and her eldest brother. The business of the dart board is not easy to do, and when the was young, she also followed her father and eldest brother to go north and south to escort darts. Later, by chance, he rescued Mu Qi who was killed, and Xu's father saw that Mu Qi was dignified, so he made the decision to marry Xu Niangzi to Mu Qi, and it was not for the sake of Xu Niangzi.
Since the got married, she followed Mu Qi to run around, from the capital to Pingcheng, and never returned to Xianyang for more than ten years. In the middle, I received several letters from my mother's family trying my best to send them, one was the death of my father, but unfortunately at that time, Mu Erye was being excluded and suppressed in the capital, and it was very difficult, and the followed with a dot, and it was too late to go back to the mother's house thousands of miles away to mourn, once the elder brother was married, but at that time, I had just arrived in Pingcheng, Mu Fu had not yet gained a firm foothold in the side of the Sei, and Mrs. Mu also confirmed that she was pregnant, and Mu Fu was short of manpower, Xu Niangzi still chose to stay, the last time, about seven or eight years ago, the eldest brother wrote that the sister-in-law gave birth to a boyIn the middle, the entrusted someone to send a gift to the child and a lot of silver to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, but in the following years, there was no news.
For the family members who are about to be seen, they have not seen each other for many years, and the is very worried.
"Aunt Xu, don't worry, it'll be fine." Mu Qingwan held Xu Niangzi's hands, it was hard to imagine that Aunt Xu, who taught her martial arts and had a resolute personality, was trembling her hands.
Out of the's room, Mu Qingwan took some special products from the goods brought over with auspicious wishes, mainly some furs, including a tiger skin, and the rouge gouache sold in the shop run by Mu Qingwan for the woman, and a few good pen, ink, paper and inkstones bought along the way for the children.
After lunch, Mu Chen and Mu Qingwan changed into clean clothes that afternoon, and set off for Xu's house with Xu Niangzi and Ji Xiang Ruyi.
The familiar streets and alleys in my memory, maybe the nostalgia is more timid, and the are a little hesitant. Mu Qingwan stepped forward, grabbed the hand of the, and gently called, "Aunt Xu, let's go." ”
"Oh, good."
In front of a rusty iron gate, a group of children are playing. Not far away, next to a big tree five or six meters high, two little boys were whispering.
"Hey, Xu Qianhe, who do you see over there? How did you go to your house? A little boy with a snot nose shouted to a child who was climbing a tree next to him.
"What are you shouting, I'm going up, don't be fooled. Okay, if I could climb up a tree in the dozens, you'd give me two eggs. The little boy who struggled to climb the tree muttered dissatisfiedly, and in the blink of an eye, he climbed several meters high.
"No, I'm really not lying, I don't believe it, you see, I'm really going to your house." The boy under the tree stomped his feet anxiously, "I guess it's a debt." ”
"Oops." The boy in the tree paused, jumped off the tree several meters high, and ran straight home.
Mu Qingwan felt a small figure flash in front of her, and then blocked in front of her.
In front of him was a little boy of seven or eight years old, thin and small, with two extraordinarily large eyes, and his clothes were very neat, but his body was full of patches, and the stitches were crooked, which were obviously sewn by unskilled female workers.
"Who are you and why did you come to my house? But the Yuan family sent to ask for debts? The little boy stretched out his hands to stop Mu Qingwan and the others, and asked vigilantly.
"Son, your father...... But it's called Xu Lang. The looked at the familiar silhouette in front of her and asked in a trembling voice.
"Who are you? How do you know? The little boy looked at the suspiciously.
"Child, I, I'm your aunt."
"Auntie, where did you come from? You wait. With that, the boy turned and ran to the door, opened the door and slammed it shut.
Mu Qingwan and a few people looked at the closed door, not knowing why.
"Hey, who are you? Are you here to ask for a debt? Xu Qianhe has no money now, so it's not good to be in a hurry. The little boy under the tree just now moved over, sniffled and looked at Mu Qingwan and the others.
"Little brother, who are you? What is the relationship with the Xu family? Mu Qingwan looked at the little boy and asked.
"Little brother? I'm eight years old, sir! Who's your little brother. The boy raised his nose arrogantly, expressing his dissatisfaction with Mu Qingwan's statement.
"Forehead ......"
"Xu Tuo, what's wrong?" The children who were playing around also joined in.
"It's okay, it's okay. Let's all disperse, go back to their own homes, and find their own mothers. Scattered, scattered, scattered. The boy waved and sent the children away.
Looking at the boy's appearance as a little adult, Mu Qingwan was not angry, but just felt funny.
"We are relatives of Xu Lang, and your surname is Xu, but who is Xu Lang?"
"Relatives? How come I haven't heard of it? Could it be a liar? The boy muttered as he stared at Mu Qingwan's purring eyes.
"Squeak." As he was talking, the iron door opened again, and the little boy who had just entered walked out from behind the door, looked at the with straight eyes, and said, "You guys go in." ”
