Chapter 37: The Royal Hunt

The matter is serious, Mu Qian'er and Zhang Ningyu insisted that Mu Wan'er was stubborn, Mu Wan'er had no choice but to let the old lady send someone to invite the shopkeeper of Xiangyin Building.

The shopkeeper heard the ins and outs and truthfully told what the situation was, Zhang Ningyu and Mu Qian'er's faces were not very good, as if they had been slapped in public.

The old lady was silent, and when she learned that Mu Wan'er bought it from Xie Yu for ten taels of silver, she understood the twists and turns, and noticed Xie Yu's preference for Mu Wan'er.

"This matter is already very clear, the treasure of the town store is not Wan'er who stole the silver taels to buy it back, and Mu Qian'er and Zhang Ningyu, because they don't know the reason for the matter, slandered others at will, and spread it to damage the prestige of our Mu family, and they must be severely punished today!"

After that, he directly punished Mu Qian'er and Zhang Ningyu's moon, and asked the two to copy the Book of Poetry.

Mu Qian'er and Zhang Ningyu left, Mu Hao and Wen Wanyun also left the courtyard, leaving only Mu Wan'er and the old lady in the courtyard.

The old lady asked Mama Cui to fetch a brocade box of silver, put it in front of Mu Wan'er, and said: "The treasure of the town store must be more than ten taels of silver, you take these silvers and transfer them to the Seventh Prince, you can't let the Seventh Prince think that we are greedy for cheapness." ”

Mu Wan'er respectfully agreed, and as soon as the old lady left, she immediately put away her smile, and counted the silver with a pout, feeling that it was enough to buy some food.

As for Xie Yu, what does it have to do with himself?

It was not herself who said that the treasure of the town store sold ten taels of silver, she had no sense of guilt at all, and properly put the treasure of the town store in the room, changed into inconspicuous clothes, and left Mu Mansion.

In the alley not far from Mu's house, Mu Wan'er found Haifeng, stuffed the silver to Haifeng, and asked Haifeng to use the silver to buy food.

Haifeng roughly counted the silver given by Mu Wan'er, and his eyes widened with a look of surprise, "This, these silver can't come from unknown sources, right?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Wan'er rolled her eyes and was a little speechless, looking at Haifeng coldly, Haifeng realized that she was too exaggerated, and scratched her head in embarrassment.

"The main thing is that I have been a beggar for too long, I almost forgot that the girl is the daughter of the Mu family, and it is normal to have silver."

When Mu Wan'er heard this, she actually didn't feel good in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that the old lady valued herself now, before she was replaced, she didn't even have half of Mu Qian'er and Zhang Ningyu's monthly salary.

Haifeng didn't know what Mu Wan'er was thinking, and said a few words to Mu Wan'er, making sure that the silver was used to buy food, before leaving.

Here, Mu Qian'er and Zhang Ningyu were copying poetry in the courtyard, thinking of the moon spars who were punished by the old lady, and both of them gritted their teeth with hatred.

Mu Qian'er threw the brush heavily on the stone table, gritted her teeth and said, "It's all because of Mu Wan'er's little hooves, if it weren't for her, how could we copy the Book of Poetry here?" If you want me to say, she must be hiding somewhere to laugh at the two of us now. ”

Zhang Ningyu's face was solemn, he clenched the pen in his hand, his eyes were gloomy, and after thinking for a while, he hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Don't forget, it's a royal hunt in a few days, and we'll find a way to teach her a lesson, so she can't turn over." Zhang Ningyu said with a sneer.

Mu Qian'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Zhang Ningyu on the stone table, "Yes, we can ......"

The two secretly combined, in fact, Mu Wan'er knew.

When Xiaotang told Mu Wan'er that the royal hunt was about to begin, Mu Wan'er's hand holding the pen paused, and a drop of ink fell on the rice paper, leaving traces that could not be removed.

"This opportunity is very rare, many people want to find a lover through the royal hunt, and maybe they can get the emperor's reward, but now the lady hasn't said yet, and I don't know if we will go."

Xiaotang chattered beside her, and Mu Wan'er's thoughts gradually drifted away, thinking of her previous life.

In the previous life, Mu Qian'er and Zhang Ningyu teamed up to calculate themselves, making everyone think that they were having an affair with others, and in this life, Mu Wan'er would not be so stupid to drill into the trap designed by the two of them!

She clenched her fists tightly, the green tendons on the back of her hands came out, making her wrists even thinner, Xiaotang saw Mu Wan'er silent and in a daze when she spoke, stopped, and asked Mu Wan'er worriedly What was wrong.

Mu Wan'er came back to her senses, waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, she lowered her eyes and looked at the rice paper in front of her, when Xiaotang was about to change it for her, she refused, and directly drew a plum blossom on the place where the ink was dripping.

The plum blossoms are lifelike, Xiaotang marveled at Mu Wan'er's painting skills next to her, the corners of Mu Wan'er's mouth gently pulled a faint arc, and put down the pen for Xiaotang to clean up.

The royal hunt is not for everyone, as a family member of a courtier, if you want to follow the go, you need to inform the people who have counted in advance, at first, Zhang Lan did not plan to let Mu Wan'er participate.

After Mu Qian'er and Zhang Ningyu learned about this, they went to Dongyuan one after another, planning to talk to Zhang Lan about it.

The two got straight to the point and directly told Zhang Lan that Mu Wan'er would also go to the hunting ground.

Zhang Lan frowned when she heard this, put down the warm tea in her hand, and raised her eyes to look at the two, "Why?" ”

Zhang Ningyu and Mu Qian'er glanced at each other, Mu Qian'er cleared her throat and said, "Mother, I know what you're worried about, aren't you just worried that Mu Wan'er will steal the limelight?" But don't you think too highly of her? Although she can dance the sword, but in the end, she is a fancy shelf, and there are many people in the hunting ground, you say that if she can't hunt anything, won't everyone know that she is a fancy shelf? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lan was a little hesitant, at the last banquet, Mu Wan'er could be said to have shined, so that many people knew Mu Wan'er, and now among the noble ladies, they can still hear them talking about Mu Wan'er, all of them are full of admiration.

"Are you really sure you want to take Mu Wan'er with you?" Zhang Lan asked again.

Mu Qian'er and Zhang Ningyu hurriedly nodded and agreed, and Zhang Lan also agreed, and immediately went to inform Mu Wan'er, Xiaotang was very happy for Mu Wan'er after learning about this incident.

Mu Wan'er was not shocked, sad or happy, Xiaotang couldn't figure out if Mu Wan'er wanted to go because of the mold, so she asked Mu Wan'er in private, and only after getting the sure words did she breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the hunting plan was interrupted by a heavy rain and had to be postponed.

Mu Wan'er stood under the eaves with her brows furrowed, listening to the sound of the rain, watching the raindrops the size of beans splash on the bluestone slab and bloom.

Xiaotang took out the robe and draped it on Mu Wan'er's shoulder, "Miss, why don't we go into the house, they all say that this spring rain is cold and biting, maybe it will be ......."

"It's okay, if you feel cold, go in, I'll stay a little longer." Mu Wan'er said directly.

Xiaotang's persuasion was fruitless, so she could only sigh and go to prepare ginger tea for Mu Wan'er, but what Mu Wan'er thought was that she was afraid that the flood was coming, and time was running out.
