Chapter 20: The Calling of the Head of the House
"If I can get the first place, will I be able to get my father to treat me squarely, will I be able to get back everything that should belong to me?"
Although Mu Fan does not have much sense of belonging to the Mu family, deep in his heart, he is not reconciled! He longs for the love of his parents, but he has a deep hatred for Mu Feng for ignoring all these years.
Perhaps, Mu Fan himself doesn't know what kind of feelings he has for his father.
Shaking his head, Mu Fan adjusted his mind and continued to walk towards the attic where he received benefits.
When Mu Fan arrived, there were already four or five people queuing up in front of him, and Mu Yu had already received his benefits and left.
After waiting for a while, it was Mu Fan's turn.
"Hey, Mu Fan?" Ah Fu, who distributed benefits, everyone called him Uncle Fu, in his fifties, chubby, quite a kind person, and he had no prejudice against Mu Fan.
"Uncle Fu hasn't seen you for a long time, I'm here to receive benefits!" Mu Fan said with a smile.
"Mu Fan, your benefits have been canceled!" Uncle Fu sighed and said, "Steward Qi's order, I can't help it!"
"Well, I know Uncle Fu!" Mu Fan's eyes flashed with anger, but then disappeared.
He knew that Uncle Fu was just a subordinate, acting according to orders, and he couldn't decide anything, even if he made trouble here, it wouldn't have any effect.
And Uncle Fu is usually good to himself, Mu Fan doesn't want to embarrass him!
"Wait a minute!" Uncle Fu suddenly shouted.
Mu Fan turned around, only to see Uncle Fu take out a bag, put it in Mu Fan's hand and said, "This is my own little gold coin, let's use it for you first!"
"Thank you Uncle Fu, but I can't ask for this money!" Mu Fan shook his head, pushed the bag back, and then turned to leave.
"I didn't expect that even this little benefit was gone, it was too deceitful!" Mu Fan secretly gritted his teeth.
Not only was he bullied by a distant disciple, but he also lost even the most basic benefits, and the current Mu Fan can be said to not even have a high status as a subordinate.
Ten gold coins is not much, but Mu Fan can't swallow this breath!
Mu Fan's eyes flashed with cold light, and he raised his feet and walked towards the residence of Steward Qi, who lived in the west of the Mu Mansion, and the subordinates of the Mu family lived there, of course, Steward Qi had different identities and had their own independent courtyards.
Seeing this, the other Mu family disciples glanced at each other, and then followed closely behind Mu Fan.
So, I saw Mu Fan leading a large group of people, and they didn't know what to do.
On the way, I met someone else and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Steward Qi has canceled Mu Fan's welfare, it seems that Mu Fan is going to find trouble with Steward Qi!"
"Really, Steward Qi is the eldest young master's person...... Hehe, there's a good show to watch now!"
As a result, there were more and more people in the team, and when they reached the door of Steward Qi, hundreds of people had gathered behind Mu Fan.
Steward Qi listened to the noise outside, and hurriedly came out of the room, and when he saw Mu Fan and a group of people behind him, he was startled.
"You, what are you going to do?" Steward Qi's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of fear on his face.
"Hmph!" Mu Fan snorted coldly: "Don't do it, just come and ask you, why did you cancel my benefits?"
"It turned out to be this matter!" Steward Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he had already thought of his words about this matter, so he said: "Third Young Master, after you entered the mountain last month, you never came back, everyone thought that you had an accident, so the head of the family ordered your welfare to be canceled, the little one has been busy these days, forget about this matter, it is really time to fight!"
Saying that, Steward Qi wants to slap himself in the face when he does things.
"Smack!"
There was a slap sound, the sound was very loud, and it came far away.
Hearing this sound, everyone only felt as if their faces were burning and hurting!
The people behind didn't know why, and couldn't help but sneer: "This Qi housekeeper beats himself, it's too real, right?!"
But the people in front saw that it was not Steward Qi who beat himself, but Mu Fan who made a move!
The people who were a little closer could see that five finger prints clearly appeared on Steward Qi's face, and then the half of his face immediately swollen.
"It's so thick-skinned!" Mu Fan shook his hand and sneered: "Since you also think that you should fight, I will fulfill you!"
"You, you ......" Steward Qi covered his face with one hand and pointed at Mu Fan tremblingly with the other, but he was speechless with anger.
"I've been back for at least half a month, haven't you! You've been so busy all the time, and you don't have any time at all? This excuse is inevitably too lame!" Mu Fan said disdainfully: "We don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, I came over today, and there is only one request, that is, to return the benefits that belong to me!"
Steward Qi calmed down for a moment, suppressed his anger, and said, "Third Young Master, you also know that I am just a subordinate, and my words have no weight!"
"Really?" Mu Fan stared at Steward Qi and said, "My Mu family entrusted you with the important responsibility of being a housekeeper to manage the big and small affairs in the family, and you actually said that you have no weight? It seems that you are not qualified as a housekeeper!"
"The third young master said that he laughed!" Steward Qi was squeezed everywhere, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only say patiently: "I still have to show the head of the family about this matter, and the head of the family will decide!"
"Then you go now, I'm here waiting for your reply!" Mu Fan was unmoved, pressing step by step.
"This ......" Steward Qi was embarrassed for a while, the order not to give Mu Fan any benefits was personally issued by the eldest young master, if he came to the door to talk about it, there would be absolutely no good fruit to eat.
The day before yesterday, because of Mu Fan's matter, Steward Qi had been punished by Mu Hua, and now his body is still in hot pain, but he didn't expect this old injury to be healed, and he was slapped by Mu Fan again.
"Steward Qi, don't tell your father about this!" At this moment, a clear voice came, but it was Mu Hua.
Seeing Mu Hua coming, everyone got out of the way.
Mu Hua walked in front of Mu Fan and Steward Qi and said: "The third brother's request is very legitimate, as a direct disciple of the Mu family, it is a matter of course for him to enjoy the benefits he deserves!
"Yes, eldest young master!" Steward Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Mu Hua.
Mu Hua glanced at the handprint on Steward Qi's face, and said to Mu Fan: "Third brother, you have been wronged in this matter, and I will give you this month's benefits when I go back." ”
"No need!" Mu Fan said lightly: "I just need to deserve it!"
Mu Fan was very disgusted by Mu Hua's hypocritical face, the other party obviously wanted to die by himself, but he pretended to be kind and gentlemanly.
"It's okay!" Mu Hua smiled and said, "Third brother, if you insist, I naturally respect your opinion." ”
Mu Fan didn't want to talk to the other party more, so he said, "If the eldest brother is fine, I'll leave first!"
"Don't worry!" Mu Hua waved his hand and said unhurriedly: "Third brother, you also know that Steward Qi has been working hard in my Mu's family, and for decades, before and after the saddle, it can be regarded as a high level of hard work, whether it is me or my father, Steward Qi is very important!"
"En?" Mu Fan didn't speak, quietly waiting for Mu Hua's next words.
"But......" Mu Hua's tone suddenly became stern: "You actually beat the housekeeper Qi indiscriminately, doing so will inevitably lose your identity, and it will also chill the other subordinates of our Mu family!"
Mu Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Mu Hua, he already knew what the other party meant.
Sure enough, I only heard Mu Hua continue: "My younger brother is not doing it right, and as the eldest brother, I have the responsibility to teach." Steward Qi obeyed his father's arrangement, this is a matter of course, this time, you did something wrong, since you are wrong, you must dare to admit your mistake, you should apologize to Steward Qi!"
Hearing this, Mu Fan suddenly sneered in his heart, everyone could see that Steward Qi was Mu Hua's person, and if he slapped Steward Qi today, he slapped Mu Hua in the face.
Now, Mu Hua seems to want to apologize to Steward Qi himself, but he actually wants to bow his head to him, the eldest young master, in front of everyone.
This, apparently impossible!
Mu Fan said-for-tat: "It's right to listen to my father's words, but I've been back for so long, and he still thinks I'm dead, obviously looking for a draw!" In addition, I actually met a few killers in the Black Wind Ridge, and I don't know who wanted to kill me!"
Hearing this, Mu Hua's eyes were full of coldness, but his face didn't show it, he just said: "Since you insist, then let my father decide this matter!"
After speaking, Mu Hua turned around and left, this time in the confrontation, Mu Hua did not take any advantage.
Seeing this, Steward Qi had no choice but to honestly take Mu Fan and go to receive these two months' benefits, according to the specifications of the young master of the Mu family, there should be fifty gold coins per month, and two months, it is one hundred gold coins.
Early the next morning, Steward Qi came to knock on the door again, this time, he was much more polite, and after seeing Mu Fan, he said, "Third Young Master, the head of the family invites you to go to the living room." ”
"En!" Mu Fan agreed, but he was very curious, he didn't know what his father was looking for him at this time, you must know that before, it was difficult to see his father for a year, let alone take the initiative to summon him this time.
"Is it because of yesterday's incident?" Mu Fan secretly guessed, but soon he denied himself: "Impossible, the matter of deducting my welfare must have been done by Mu Hua, and my father may not know about it! Could it be Chen Fei's matter......
"I don't want to, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!"
Mu Fan settled down, and then followed Steward Qi to walk around in the huge pastoral mansion before finally coming to the living room.
The pastoral mansion covers a huge area, there are four or five hundred acres of land, among which rockery and flowing water, winding paths and corridors are innumerable, and people who have just come here will inevitably get lost.
Mu Fan has an excellent memory, although he rarely wanders around the pastoral mansion due to his identity, but he is no longer familiar with the layout of the entire pastoral mansion.
After entering the living room, there are rows of dark and simple Taishi chairs on both sides, and in the middle of the hall, there is a "Rising Sun Rising Landscape Map", which looks very magnificent.
Below is a table of eight immortals, and two Taishi chairs are placed on each side of the table.
On the chair on the left, a middle-aged man in a green robe was sitting at this time.
The middle-aged man sat there flat, with his right hand on the table and his left hand above his knee, giving people a sense of domineering majesty.
This person is the current head of the Mu family, Mu Feng!
