Chapter 088: Chinese New Year's Eve is coming
Mu Qing and the others had ugly faces, and Mu Zhizhao spoke again, and there was no room for negotiation about the relocation of the sect.
"Patriarch, what should I do?" Several elders in the family asked Mu Qing at a loss.
Mu Qing snorted: "What else can you do?" If he wants to move his sect, he will move his sect, I can't control it, and I don't care about it! ”
The young man next to him asked, "What about ...... We're just gone? He glanced at the Mu family, he was really unwilling, he didn't get anything, and he was about to leave......
Mu Qing hobbled up the crutches in his hand, and hit his head and face: "Can you do this if you don't leave?" Waiting for everyone to beat you! ”
The fathers and villagers around them had been waiting impatiently, and they all clenched their fists, and they had the urge to come forward to pick people up without leaving. The young man held his head in a gloomy manner, but he was so painful that he didn't dare to speak, seeing that Mu Qing was angry, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and commanded the people of the family to return to the clan: "Let's go, let's disperse, let's go back and talk about it." ”
Seeing them leave one by one, Mu Zhizhao breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at the people around him: "Thank you fathers and fellow villagers for upholding justice!" Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Mu family will give alms in front of the Jinxiu Commercial Bank in the south of the city, and I hope everyone will come to cheer! ”
The Mu family is about to give again!
Some curious people asked, "Master Mu, what do you want to give this time?" ”
"The Mu family's business relies on your support on weekdays, and when the New Year is coming, we should always do something for the people of Jinling. This time, the Mu family took out 10,000 taels of silver and bought a lot of rice and meat, hoping that everyone can have a good year tomorrow! Mu Zhizhao smiled kindly: "Mu Mou is here to greet everyone in advance!" ”
The surrounding people applauded, and in a short time, the news that the Mu family was going to give alms tomorrow had spread all over Jinling.
Mu Zhizhao took his daughter back to the house, and along the way, the father and daughter discussed some details of tomorrow's almsgiving, and Mu Zhizhao listened to Mu Yunge's suggestion and nodded with joy.
Today, Mu Yunge's wit really impressed him, and when he arrived in front of Xiao's courtyard, Mu Zhizhao suddenly said: "Yunge, you will be fourteen in the spring after the New Year, and my father wants to hand over some business matters to you, what do you think?" ”
Mu Yunge looked up in surprise: "Why does Dad suddenly want me to take over the business?" ”
Although Mu Zhizhao was very fond of her before, he never thought of letting her take over the business. First, the Mu family still has Mu Jinran, a man, Mu Yunge is a woman, and inheriting the family business is always criticized. You must know that Da Wei is extremely harsh on women, unlike Zhao Guo, where women have a very high status and can even enter the court as officials. Second, in Mu Zhizhao's heart, his daughter has been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, and he is reluctant to suffer from Mu Yunge's business.
"Dad is old, and some businesses are inevitably inadequate." Mu Zhizhao touched her head: "Yun Ge doesn't want to share his father's worries?" ”
"Dad is in the prime of life, how can he say some depressing words?" Mu Yunge pursed his mouth, snuggled up to Mu Zhizhao coquettishly, and replied a little depressedly: "Yun Ge is very willing to solve problems for his father, but the business matter is so complicated, Yun Ge is afraid that he will not be able to do it well." ”
It turned out to be for this!
Mu Zhizhao smiled and comforted her: "I see that you learned the things of the family from your mother, didn't you learn very well?" Doing business is the same as being in charge, but this 'family' is bigger, there are more people, and things are a little more complicated. ”
Mu Yunge is the eldest daughter of the Mu family, and since she was married to the Xu family, the Xiao family let her start learning to be in charge. She is not only smart, but also knows that as the daughter of the Mu family, she will be a wife and mother in the future, that is, a wife, she is the head of the family, this housekeeper is a matter of duty, no one can replace it, so she also learned very carefully. Some time ago, Xiao's illness was sick, and the Mu family was taking care of it, and she did it decently in a meticulous manner, and Mu Zhizhao saw it in her eyes and enjoyed it.
Seeing Mu Zhizhao's insistence, Mu Yunge finally agreed: "Okay, since my father said so, my daughter will do it." However, there are some things that my daughter has to say first, now Jinran is still young, and when Jinran is older, Yunge will not interfere in these things. ”
She didn't want to make her mother and Jinran unhappy because of these little things, so she gave birth to mustard.
Mu Zhizhao nodded with laughter, and the laughter spread to the room, and Xiao Shi greeted him: "I heard laughter from afar, why are you so happy?" ”
Mu Zhizhao stepped forward and hugged her, telling her his plans.
After hearing this, Xiao smiled softly: "Tiger father has no dog, you are so powerful, Yun Ge is not far behind." ”
was worshiped by his wife, Mu Zhizhao was very useful, and helped her back to the house: "That's her mother's cleverness!" ”
Mu Yunge saw that his parents raised their eyebrows and loved each other, and they were overjoyed in their hearts. She didn't go in to disturb her father's affection, so she asked Yushan to talk to her father and mother, and went back to her yard.
In addition to treating Qiao's mother recently, she was also studying Mu Zhizhao's body by the way. Last time, since she was suspicious that the Mu family only had two children, her and Mu Jinran, and someone was making trouble behind her back, she had been secretly observing the remaining two aunts and two girls in the Mu family for a long time. But Aunt Qiao is quiet and introverted, and most of the time she stays in her yard, and there are no superfluous actions; Aunt Shen is more lively, but the range of activities will not exceed the back garden, and the two girls are busy with various tasks all day long, and they are not suspected of committing crimes.
She thought about it, although she didn't know who the black hand was, but Mu Zhizhao's body must be nine out of ten.
She quietly diagnosed Mu Zhizhao's pulse, the pulse was vain, and the qi was insufficient, but her father was in the prime of life, and he never indulged in alcohol, so he must have ruined his poisonous hands unknowingly.
She still didn't know what poison it was and how it was poisoned, and she was afraid that she would embarrass Mu Zhizhao by saying it, so she had to try her best to secretly detoxify Mu Zhizhao by gentle means.
But this antidote has been studied for several days, but there is only a clue.
Mu Yunge put down his medical skills and sighed for the Nth time: "It would be nice if Wei Shi was here!" ”
Although Wei Shi looked like a ruffian and improper, there was really a lot of ink in his stomach. Every time she encountered any medical doubts before, she didn't need to ask Imperial Doctor Mei, Wei Shi could answer them for her. The advice he gives is also pertinent, and there are often unexpected gains.
"Miss misses the five princes?" Pei Xin happened to come in with water, and when she heard Mu Yunge sighing, she couldn't help asking, "The fifth prince is coming back soon, right?" ”
Mu Yunge shook his head: "He is the prince, and he has to accompany the emperor throughout the New Year, how can he have time to come to Jinling?" ”
Pei Xin shook her head and smiled: "The heart is also good in Jinling!" ”
"I can't do anything with him." Mu Yunge said with a straight face: "This kind of thing is not allowed to be said again in the future." Pei Xin, we are merchants, and those ordinary officials and eunuchs still look down on them, let alone the royal family? How many official ladies in Dawei want to marry the Five Princes? Before your words reached the ears of the five princes, the others strangled us to death first. If you want to protect yourself, the best way is to pretend not to know him and keep your distance from him! ”
Pei Xin smiled, seeing Mu Yunge's serious expression, there was a rare loneliness between her eyebrows, and she couldn't help nodding: "Miss, don't be sad, Pei Xin knows it's wrong...... Pei Xin will never talk about the five princes in the future. ”
Mu Yunge smiled slightly: "I didn't blame you, I just ......"
Just help Pei Xin...... It's just a matter of recognizing the facts yourself!
Pei Xin couldn't bear her sadness, and nodded heavily: "Miss, don't say it, Pei Xin understands!" ”
Mu Yunge lost any interest in reading anymore, put the book down, Pei Xin waited for her to wash, she turned off the light and went to bed.
Somehow this night, she actually dreamed about the events of her past life.
The first time I saw Wei Shanzhi was in winter, and at the age of fourteen, she was made to fall by Wei Shanzhi's smile like a spring flower; Suddenly, the smile became hideous and terrifying, and Wei Shanzhi's feet in the plum blossom bush were full of the corpses and blood of the Mu family, and the blood was still spreading, so it was about to cover her instep...... She trembled with fear, and looked for a place to escape, but no matter how fast she ran, the blood trailed like maggots on tarsal bones. She kept running, her body was suddenly firmly embraced, and when she raised her head, Wei Shizheng looked at her with a smile, but there was red blood in his eyes......
She was startled, tears just came out of her eyes, and she suddenly woke up.
Chinese New Year's Eve came in Mu Yunge's sleepless night.
When it was dawn, she closed her eyes for a moment. Pei Xin came in to see her once, and when she saw that she hadn't woken up, she quietly retreated, took out the gifts she had carefully selected for Mu Zhizhao and others yesterday, and asked the girl to send them to each room; He also took out the New Year's gift prepared by Mu Yunge for the people who listened to the wind and gave it to the girls and mothers-in-law in the courtyard with Peiying and Pei Lian.
For a while, everyone in the wind was full of joy and was very grateful to Mu Yunge.
The matter of moving the sect should not be delayed, and if it is late, it will change, Mu Zhizhao took his family to the temple early in the morning and moved out the ancestors of Mu Zhizhao's lineage. However, the new temple has not yet been built, so the ancestors have to be temporarily taken to the ancestral hall of the Mu family.
The ancestors moved back, and Mu Zhizhao was busy. After the trivial matters such as sacrificing and worshipping ancestors, it was already close to noon.
Tang Linyi came back with Mu Jinran, this time the two went out to practice, Mu Jinran obviously made rapid progress, and when he entered the door, he was bumped by the family, and the little person actually walked sideways in an instant, not to mention falling, not even frightened!
As soon as he came back, he first ran to greet Mu Zhizhao and Xiao, and when he heard that his sister hadn't gotten up yet, he rushed to listen to the wind and build it.
Mu Yunge's ear power is not what it used to be, she has already heard Mu Jinran's voice, she shrunk into the quilt, smiled and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
As soon as Mu Jinran came in, she laughed and drilled into her quilt: "Sister, the sun is drying your butt!" ”
His little paws also beckoned to Mu Yunge, and Mu Yunge finally couldn't hold it back, and laughed out loud. She was not far behind, and desperately scratched Mu Jinran's armpits, until Mu Jinran laughed and fell to the bed and couldn't get up.
The laughter of the two sisters and brothers spread far and wide, and Tang Linyi clutched the New Year's gift given to him by Mu Yunge, a waist pendant, and couldn't help but smile lowly.
Unlike the Mu family, in a small courtyard in the north of the city, Xu Xuan looked at the mess in the room, threw herself into Chen's mother's arms and cried: "Chen's mother, what should I do in the future!" I have nothing left, how will I live in the future? Chen's mother, you have a way, let's go back to Mu's house! ”
