Outside the door, Mu Baozhu's body was close to the wooden door, his hand covering his mouth, and his heart was pounding.

She originally happily came to report the good news to her father and mother, telling them the news that her cousin and little cousin had come to Chunming.

Wan Wan didn't arrive, the fourth aunt's family suffered a catastrophe, the uncle and aunt died, and the cousin and the little cousin came to flee at home.

All this was unexpected and made her heart tremble.

Mu Baozhu has a very good impression of Tian Gengyu, obviously seven or eight years ago, his father and mother still showed great love for his cousin.

Now my cousin and little cousin are suffering, but my father and mother have such an attitude......

Hearing footsteps in the house, Mu Baozhu lifted her skirt and flew towards the corridor.

In the flower hall, Shu Ange and Tian Gengyu ate until the candles were lit, and Master Mu had not yet appeared.

Tian Gengyu's joy when he first arrived in Mu Mansion has almost dispersed.

After so much wind, his open-minded and hearty personality has become a little sensitive.

Master Mu came back at dusk, and he hadn't appeared yet, making Tian Gengyu wonder if the arrival of their brother and sister was a little unwelcome.

Tian Gengyu put down his chopsticks without knowing the taste, and his stomach was only five points full.

"Ploughing rain, Yingniang, let my uncle take a look at you."

Mu Xiaohe strode across the threshold and walked towards the Tian Gengyu brothers and sisters with a concerned face.

By candlelight, he looked at Tian Gengyu and Shu Ange for a while, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for seven or eight years, but Gengyu has grown up a lot." This is Yingniang, it's too similar, as quiet and elegant as your mother. ”

Mu Xiaohe's body is broad, his cheeks are ruddy, and his face is full of dense forehead lines when he laughs.

After he rushed into the door and said a call, he raised Tian Gengyu's arm with his hand: "Your father and mother are real, and they don't write a letter before sending you here, and your uncle can send someone to pick you up." ”

"Uncle, my father and mother ...... them"

Tian Gengyu mentioned his father, his eyes instantly turned red, and his voice became choked.

"What's wrong with your father? Take your time. ”

Mu Xiaohe put away his smile and showed concern on his face.

"Uncle, my father and mother are no longer alive, and the Tian family has been framed, and they are no longer imperial merchants. I was afraid that I would be poisoned by the enemy if I continued to stay in Huaining, so I took my sister all the way to Chunming to join you. ”

Tian Gengyu was still too young, and Mu Xiaohe let go of his doubts with a few words of care.

"What, your father and mother are no longer here? Why didn't anyone send a letter to my uncle? ”

Mu Xiaohe looked shocked, Shu Ange looked at him like this, and always felt that his shock was a little too superficial, not like a real shock.

People's micro-expressions can't deceive people, and there is a big difference between being really shocked and trying to make a shocked look.

Tian Gengyu wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and said with sadness: "Uncle, the incident happened in a hurry, and the family has not yet reacted, and my father has died unjustly in prison." Mother kisses her...... Mother, she also swallowed gold and went with her father. ”

Speaking of sad things, Tian Gengyu was a man's family, and his tears couldn't stop flowing.

Mu Xiaohe's eyes were also red, he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, stroked the top of Tian Gengyu's head with his hand and said, "Good boy, I've suffered you." Along the way, I'm afraid you have suffered a lot. Rest well for two days first, and your uncle will definitely take care of you. ”

"Uncle Lao is concerned, I don't know where my aunt is? My brother and sister took the liberty of coming to disturb me, and I should have visited my aunt. ”

Hearing that An Ge asked about his wife, Mu Xiaohe's eyes flashed, and he said bitterly: "Your aunt has been unwell recently, and I am afraid that I will be sick for you, so I can't see each other for the time being." ”

Mu Xiaohe didn't let his wife show up, because he was afraid that she would be too much

"I pray for a speedy recovery for my aunt."

Shu Ange put his hands together with a pious face, praying for Mrs. Mu.

After the three of them chatted for a while, Mu Xiaohe arranged for the two to live in the south wing, and found two maids to serve them separately.

On the second day, Mu Xiaohe asked the housekeeper to go to the south wing early, took the two of them to familiarize themselves with the house, and continued to go out to talk about business.

The housekeeper took Tian Gengyu and Shu Ange around the yard for a while, and a small servant came to look for him, he said hello and left with a smile.

"Green willow, Daifuku, you two should go down too, my brother and I want to rest in the pavilion for a while."

After Shu Ange sent away the green willow and Dafu, he sat in the pavilion with Tian Gengyu.

There was no one around, so she wrung her handkerchief and said to Tian Gengyu: "Brother, I think we should say goodbye from my uncle's house as soon as possible." ”

"Why did you just come and leave? Uncle is afraid that he will be sad. ”

"Brother, don't you really notice that my uncle doesn't seem to welcome us? We arrived at the Mu Mansion yesterday morning, and now we have only met my uncle once. Don't you think it's strange that my aunt can go to the monastery to worship the Buddha, but she can't find time to see us? ”

My sister's doubts, Tian Gengyu didn't think about it.

It's just that they came all the way to join their relatives, and it was not easy to see their uncle, so they didn't dare to think about it.

"Maybe my uncle is really busy, and my aunt is really unwell? Alas, if my uncle is unwilling to take in our brother and sister, as long as the next euphemistic song is called, we will naturally leave. ”

"Having said that, maybe my uncle was too embarrassed to speak because of his relatives. Brother, you and I are not too young. I thought about it all night last night, instead of taking refuge in my uncle, we should set up our own doors and carry forward the Tian family in person. ”

Shu Ange's tone was very firm, Tian Gengyu listened to her words in his heart, and he also felt that it was better to stand on his own.

"You're right, then in the past two days, I'll find an opportunity to say goodbye to my uncle and move out of the Mu family."

To Tian Gengyu's surprise, when he offered to move out of the Mu family, his uncle was very angry and stopped him.

"Ploughing the rain, is it because what my uncle did not suit your and Yingniang's wishes? Your father and mother are no longer alive, and now there are very few people to rely on, how can I, as an uncle, bear that your brothers and sisters are suffering outside. ”

"Uncle, there's nothing wrong with you. I just thought that staying in Governor Mu was not the way to go, and I wanted to do some small business with my sister, so that my father and mother could feel at ease in the spirit of heaven. ”

"Small business? This idea is very good, but you and Yingniang are not familiar with each other in Chunming, so it is not easy to do business. If you really want to do something, you can live in your uncle's mansion first, and when you are familiar with Chunming City, your uncle will personally introduce you to some business. ”

Tian Gengyu failed to resign smoothly, and Shu Ange felt more and more that it was not appropriate to stay in Mu Mansion.

Moreover, Mu Xiaohe said that he would let them know about Chunming City, but as long as the two of them left the mansion, they would send people to follow them every step of the way.

The appearance of caution is not like protection, but it is a bit like surveillance.

The New Year is approaching, the weather in Chunming is always warm, and the garden is full of beautiful flowers all year round.

In the morning light, Shu Ange and Tian Gengyu carried a shower and watered the flowers in the garden, and a goose-yellow figure suddenly appeared in the garden.

Mu Baozhu bit his lip and looked at Yushu's handsome cousin in the wind, and his little cousin with beautiful appearance and black hair.

My cousin looks more mature than in seven or eight years, and it's the first time I've seen my little cousin.

Thinking of the words she overheard last night, Mu Baozhu clenched her fists and made a choice in her heart.

Since overhearing his father's conversation a few days ago, Mu Baozhu has quietly paid attention to his father's actions.

She couldn't believe that her respected father and mother would do such a thing.

As a child, you shouldn't ignore your father's words and deeds, but Mu Baozhu feels that it is wrong to do that.

"Cousin, cousin."

Mu Baozhu pulled his hair and smiled at Shu Ange and Tian Gengyu.

Tian Gengyu looked up at the treasure bead, and after a while, he suddenly said: "You are the treasure bead, you were only a little old last time, I didn't expect to grow into a big girl so quickly." ”

"It's rare that my cousin can still recognize me, hello little cousin, you are so good-looking."

"Cousin Baozhu is better-looking, I have long heard that several cousins in my uncle's family are more beautiful than the other. See you today. Only then did I know that the rumors were true. ”

Mu Baozhu smiled shyly, shook his head shyly, and walked to Shu Ange's side.

"I'm embarrassed that my cousin is praising me, are you watering the flowers? It looks so much fun, let me try it too. ”

When she smiled, small shallow dimples appeared on her round cheeks, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.

"Early in the morning watering the flowers is the best. Your cousin and I couldn't stay idle, so we came early in the morning to water the flowers. ”

Shu arranged to hand the watering can to Mu Baozhu, and when she took it, she quickly stuffed a note into her palm.

After stuffing the note, Mu Baozhu winked at Shu Ange, turned around and watered the flowers with great interest.

Mu Baozhu accompanied Shu Ange's brother and sister to talk for less than a quarter of an hour, and a big girl in silk clothes came from the corridor and politely invited Mu Baozhu away.

After watering the flowers, Shu Ange and Tian Gengyu returned to the south wing.

She pulled Tian Gengyu to stand under the flower stand to tease Huang Li, and opened the note held in the palm of her hand when others were not paying attention.

"Hurry up, maid, drugged, famous, framed."

Ten words were scribbled on the note, but the connection was secretly terrifying.

Shu Ange frowned, and quietly handed the note to Tian Gengyu, who was shocked after reading it.

"This is what Cousin Baozhu just stuffed into me."

Shu Ange lowered his voice to explain, and Tian Gengyu's face darkened.

There are many ways to understand the words on this note, but none of them can make people happy.

He had also thought before that his sister's worries might be unfounded.

At this moment, Tian Gengyu finally realized that those invisible hands never let them go.

Mu Baozhu was called to Mrs. Mu by the maid and reprimanded by the good student.

She was not sad at all, she just hoped that her cousin and little cousin would leave early.

Mu Baozhu didn't believe that his cousin and little cousin would do bad things, and he didn't want his father and mother to be coerced by nobles to go down the wrong path.

She is not very sensible, and she is a little squeamish, but she also understands things and can distinguish between right and wrong.

The wind blows the flower stands, the dark fragrance floats, and the warm sun shines on the body.

Tian Gengyu didn't feel warm, only cold.

He couldn't believe that his uncle would do this to him and his sister, but Cousin Baozhu had no reason to lie.

Shu Ange's expression remained unchanged, and when he teased Huang Li, he lowered his voice and said in Tian Gengyu's ear: "Be careful, leave at night." ”

The reason why she proposed to leave at night was because in the past few days, Mu Xiaohe was obviously preventing them from going out.

And the note that Mu Baozhu stuffed into them looked urgent.

Mu Fu can't stay any longer, and in addition, the two of them should also be very careful in terms of food.

Thinking of this, Shu Ange reminded again: "Don't move your diet." ”

Tian Gengyu nodded, put away his heavy heart, and made a reluctant smile.

On this day, the two did not touch the things sent by others, and Shu Ange quietly poured the food into the spittoon.

When the sun was shining, the moon hid in the thick clouds.

Shu Ange carried the burden on his back, quietly turned out of the open window, and hid among the flowers.

It didn't take long for Tian Gengyu to come out of the window, and he looked around, as if looking for something.

Shu Ange stood up from the flowers with his waist and grabbed Tian Gengyu's sleeve.

He was startled, and his backhand was a hand knife, and he stopped when he heard the cat's meow.

"Brother, it's me, let's go quickly."

"Let's go."

Tian Gengyu led the way in front with the burden on his back, and glanced back at Shu Ange from time to time.

Mu Mansion was quiet, the lanterns under the corridor had been extinguished, and the insects were crouching in the grass.

Tian Gengyu held his breath and walked lightly in the direction of the courtyard wall, his heart beating thumping.

The Mu family is not very big, and there is no patrol at night, which provides convenience for the two to leave secretly.

After successfully arriving at the root of the wall, Tian Gengyu whispered to Shu Ange: "Yingniang, guess my shoulder, climb the wall first, and then pick you up when I get there." ”

Time was urgent, and Shu Ange didn't talk to Tian Gengyu politely.

She could easily jump over the wall, for fear of scaring Tian Gengyu, so she honestly stepped on his shoulder and climbed the wall.

After going up to the wall, Shu Ange didn't wait for Tian Gengyu to climb up the wall to respond, and jumped down directly with the eaves.

Tian Gengyu was startled, and when he turned over the wall and saw his sister standing on the ground in a good manner, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The thick clouds gradually drifted to the west, and the moon emerged from the clouds, illuminating the alleys with bright moonlight.

Tian Gengyu walked in the bright moonlight, feeling a little flustered inexplicably.

Singer Shu'an grabbed the burden, and after walking out for more than ten zhang, he stopped, stopped Tian Gengyu and said calmly: "Brother, there is an ambush, we seem to be targeted." ”

Her five senses are keen, and the feeling of being watched is too strong, which makes Shu Ange vigilant.

Tian Gengyu stood in front of Shu Ange, gritted his teeth and said, "I also feel that something is wrong, don't be afraid, my brother will protect you." Later, if the bad guys show up, I'll do my best to hold them back, and you must get out of the way as quickly as possible. ”

"Brother, we'll be fine."

Shu Ange took out the dagger from his sleeve and held it firmly in his hand, and Tian Gengyu also took out the dagger for self-defense.

The daggers of the brothers and sisters were bought in an iron shop in Huaining City when they were on the road with Wei Gongzi before.

The sound of squirming sounded, and almost at the same time, the brother and sister saw three men in black rushing from the front.

Tian Gengyu shouted softly: "Be careful." ”

Turning around, he noticed that there were also three men in black behind him.

"Hit back and forth, damn."

Tian Gengyu gritted his teeth with hatred, there were six people in total, and he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to protect his sister in this situation.

The man in black rushed in front of the two in a blink of an eye, and the leader gestured.
