Not long after, Mu Zhizhao appeared at the door of the restaurant.

As soon as he approached, Mu Yunge found that Mu Zhizhao's face was red, although his eyes were still bright, but with a sense of confusion, on his body, Mu Yunge also smelled a strong smell of wine, and she frowned unconsciously: Dad rarely drinks for so long, these days, who is he meeting with, and whose entertainment?

For the first time since his rebirth, Mu Yunge felt uneasy in his heart.

Xiao naturally found that Mu Zhizhao had drunk a lot of wine, she showed a trace of worry on her face, stood up and untied Mu Zhizhao's cloak and hung it on the hanger, and told Yushan to fetch some hot water, before helping Mu Zhizhao sit down.

Mu Zhizhao waved his hand, pulled Xiao Shi with his hand, and said with a smile: "It's a tired day, don't be busy, just let the girl do this." ”

Xiao smiled and sat down as well.

Mu Zhizhao waited for Xiao to sit down, then turned his head to look at Aunt Xiao beside Xiao Shi, and said with a smile: "This is Mrs. Shen from the capital." ”

"Jingyu, I've seen your uncle soon." Aunt Xiao hurriedly pulled Shen Jingyu to salute.

While saluting, Aunt Xiao quietly looked at Mu Zhizhao. Mu Zhizhao's face is like a warm jade, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his gentle and elegant appearance makes people want to get close very much. When others are middle-aged, they are a little chubby, but they give people a more stable feeling. He doesn't like to dress up like ordinary outbreak merchants, and although the clothes on his body are very elegantly made, they are plain and look very elegant. He smiled slightly at Aunt Xiao, and Aunt Xiao felt that her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and she unconsciously lowered her head, looking like a shy little daughter.

Mu Yunge took in Aunt Xiao's expression, and she couldn't stop sneering in her heart, it turned out that Aunt Xiao had this idea.

She looked at Aunt Xiao quietly, in fact, Aunt Xiao had a small face and a smile on her eyebrows, although she had a daughter as big as Shen Jingyu, her inadvertent coquettishness was still very attractive, and it was the type of concubine that men liked the most.

Aunt Xiao's attitude also fell in Xiao's eyes, but she was kind, she didn't think about it in her heart, and thought that her sister was embarrassed, so she smiled comfortingly at Mu Zhizhao. It was Xiao's nurse Wang Ma, who was married, and when she saw Aunt Xiao's behavior, she immediately frowned with disdain: This second lady, I haven't seen her for so many years, and when I see it, it's still the same as before, and now I'm even more shameless, my daughter is so old, and she is still thinking about men!

Mu Zhizhao didn't even change his eyes, he asked the two to sit down with a smile, asked for a few warm words, and ordered the meal.

Shen Jingyu didn't talk much since she was seated, she didn't expect the Mu family to be so extravagant, and there were so many dishes for ordinary dinner. In their Shen family, they usually have one soup and four dishes, and only during the New Year's holidays will they fill the table like this. The Mu family ate only the three members of the Mu family, as well as their mother and daughter, but there were six girls in Bucai, and four were standing and waiting for the dispatch. This kind of grandeur is nothing more than the mansion of the Houmen Minister in the capital.

Thinking about this, she looked up at Mu Yunge with envy, and secretly thought in her heart, how to live in the Mu family.

Mu Yunge ate unhurriedly and behaved dignified and generous, obviously a temperament cultivated by long-term teaching. The thorny gaze on the other side fell on her, and she could feel the jealousy in it. Can't stand this level?

Shen Jingyu, your heart is so shallow!

She smiled slightly and raised her head elegantly: "Why doesn't my cousin eat, isn't the food appetizing?" ”

"No, maybe I've been in the carriage for too long, and my appetite is a little bad." Shen Jingyu looked at Mu Yunge with tears in her eyes: "It's my fault that makes my cousin worried." ”

"I'm worried, my cousin eats so little, no wonder she's so thin." Mu Yunge smiled, put a chopstick of vegetables in her bowl, and then said, "Cousin, eat more." When you got out of the filial piety period and went to the meat ring, Yun Ge asked Sister-in-law Zhang in the small kitchen to squat some red dates and ginseng chicken soup for you to make up for it. ”

Shen Jingyu's bowl still had the soy sauce and phoenix feet that Aunt Xiao had just given her, and she couldn't eat it when she heard it, and she didn't eat it.

Aunt Xiao's chopsticks stretched out to the braised hooves also froze immediately, and she turned to the pickled radish next to her, and kept scolding angrily in her heart: "Xiao Nizi, remember what to do so clearly?" Why don't you just eat two pieces of meat from your family, as for being so stingy! It's good now, this table of meat dishes can only be seen, not eaten! ”

In the custom of filial piety in the Great Wei Dynasty, wearing filial piety clothes and eating vegetarian dishes is the first. can look at the mother and daughter again, it is understandable to say that they don't wear filial piety clothes for the sake of safety, but they unscrupulously open meat at the dinner table, but no one forces them, right?

Xiao's face was extremely bad, and Mu Zhizhao's attitude was not enthusiastic, but he was even more polite at once.

After dinner, when he heard that Aunt Xiao had been arranged in the guest room, he didn't show any dissatisfaction, but nodded and said, "The Meiting is elegantly furnished, and it won't insult the identity of the aunt, you arranged it properly." He paused, saw that Xiao's eyes were red and swollen, obviously crying, and said: "When my sister arrives in Mufu, you should worry less about it, and rest early." You're not in good health, and the doctor told you not to think too much about it last time. You, if you don't pay attention to your body, you will make me worry a lot in vain. ”

Xiao Shi had a happy smile on his face, and squinted at the call of admiration with disgust: "In front of my daughter, I am not ashamed to say this." ”

Mu Zhizhao smiled lowly, squeezed her hand, and went back to the room to rest first.

The affectionate appearance of the two fell in Aunt Xiao's eyes, which made her heart twist and uncomfortable for a while, and said to Xiao, and the girl took it, turned around and went to her yard.

As soon as they stepped into the Plum Garden, the mother and daughter were fascinated by the elegant layout of the Plum Garden, and Aunt Xiao touched this and looked at that for a while, and she couldn't wait to put it in her pocket. Aunt Xiao's appearance made the girl who led the way disdainful for a while, and although she didn't dare to say anything, she obviously had a sense of disdain.

Shen Jingyu also felt that her face couldn't hold it, and smiled softly at the girl: "I'm sorry for you to help us prepare some hot water, I'm tired all day, I want to take a bath." ”

Seeing that Shen Jingyu was kind and not as philistine as Aunt Xiao, the girl had a good impression in her heart, so she responded and went down to prepare.

As soon as the girl left, Shen Jingyu hurriedly grabbed Aunt Xiao, took out a palm-sized jade horse she had just stuffed into her pocket, and put it away, before saying, "Mother, what are you doing here!" This is in the Mu family, in front of other people's girls, aren't you afraid of being talked about and not good to hear? ”

"This is my brother-in-law's house, who dares to say anything about me!" Aunt Xiao retorted justifiably.

Shen Jingyu died of a headache, and it was really her retribution for such a brainless mother, she complained angrily: "You also said that this is my uncle's house, not ours!" Since it's not our family, let's be cautious in what we say and do. Mother, have you ever thought that when you came to Aunt Mu's house and arranged for you to live in the guest house, she just had a dislike for you. Today has passed, if you do this again, maybe sooner or later you will be kicked out by the Mu family, and when the time comes, we will really have nowhere to go! ”

"Dead girl, you still taught me a lesson!" Aunt Xiao was counted down by Shen Jingyu, and she consciously lost face, so she immediately changed her face, and beat Shen Jingyu with her head and face, scolding angrily while beating: "If it weren't for the fact that I gave birth to you and lost money, wouldn't my mother even have a home?" ”

Shen Jingyu didn't dare to say any more, and stood aggrievedly with her hands folded to the side.

Aunt Xiao lost her temper, and pinched her hand and waist more and more, until Shen Jingyu burst into tears.

She was tired after making trouble for a long time, slumped on the chair, and glared at Shen Jingyu: "What are you doing in a daze, pour me a glass of water." ”

Shen Jingyu didn't dare to disagree, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Aunt Xiao.

Aunt Xiao drank two sips of water, her anger disappeared a little, and thinking about Shen Jingyu's words, she also felt that there was some truth. She squinted and saw that Shen Jingyu's pitiful appearance was also annoying, and she would cultivate well in the future, with this good look, it would be difficult to marry a prince, and immediately smiled and beckoned, pulled her and hugged her, and then said: "Don't blame your mother for being strict with you, your mother is all for your good." If you have half of Mu Yunge's luck, the life of our mother and daughter will be much better. ”

Shen Jingyu bit her lip and answered in a low voice: "What my mother said is true." ”

Her eyes lowered, and the resentment in them became even stronger: Mu Yunge, Mu Yunge! If it weren't for making my mother so unhappy, I wouldn't have been beaten! As luck would have it, one day, I will snatch everything that belongs to you, and it is better to trample you under your feet, and see you beg me like a beggar!

Listening to the wind in Zhuli, Mu Yunge listened to the girl's announcement of what happened in the Mei Ting with a blank face, and his heart quickly calculated.

After a while, she raised her head and looked at the little girl with a smile: "You said, Mrs. Shen put the twelve little jade horses in the Plum Appreciation Garden in her pocket?" ”

"Yes, the slave saw it with her own eyes." The little girl replied smartly: "If Miss Shen hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to put away the jade Ruyi in the cupboard." ”

When she spoke, the little girl's eyes were full of contempt, and Mrs. was not as good as her, she didn't even have any concentration, and she took the good things of the master's family like a thief.

"Well done." Mu Yunge bowed slightly, and then looked at this girl seriously.

Just outside the restaurant, Xiao asked this girl to lead Aunt Xiao to enjoy the plum garden, Mu Yunge kept an eye on it, and asked Pei Xin to quietly tell her to pay attention to Aunt Xiao's actions. Mu Yunge saw that she was not very old, but she was very neat, and the most important thing was to be able to see and listen to all directions, and cultivate it well, she was a good helper, she groaned slightly, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Miss Hui, the slave maid is called Holly, and she is the last batch of house slaves bought by the Mu family." Holly hurriedly said.

The last batch of house slaves who bought into the Mu family seemed to have signed death deeds, and most of them were children of poor families who had no way out to sell, unlike ordinary people who came to work in the Mu family and signed a living deed. The biggest difference between the death contract and the living contract is that the death contract can never be redeemed, and the slave who signs the death contract and the master's family are both prosperous and lossy, and they are often the most heartfelt to the master's family.

Mu Yunge chuckled, made Holly raise her head, and then said, "From today onwards, you go to Xiangmei Ting to do things, and the mother and daughter of the Shen family will tell me if they have any moves." You know what I mean? ”

Holly's face was overjoyed, and she immediately responded: "The slave obeys." ”
