Mujia Tea House

Mu Xun woke up, it was almost noon, he moved his arms gently, only to feel the pain on his shoulders greatly reduced, but he didn't dare to exert himself, only sat up slowly with the strength of his waist and abdomen, and shouted outside the door: "Is anyone there?"

After a while, someone outside the door answered: "Ouch, the young master is awake!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw an elderly servant push the door in, stood in front of Mu Xun, and asked urgently: "Is the young master's injury better?"

Mu Xun was so stabbed by the sunlight outside the door at this moment that he couldn't open his eyes, and just wanted to raise his hand to cover it, the injury was immediately pulled, and a heartache immediately rose, so he had to give up the action of raising his hand to shade the sun, closed his eyes and said: "Uncle Li, close the door quickly, I can't open my eyes." ”

Uncle Li hurriedly turned around and closed the door, apologetically: "I'm really confused, I forgot that this is a guest room..."

Mu Xun slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Where is my father?"

Uncle Li said: "Mu Yetian went out as soon as he was hazy, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

Mu Xun asked again: "Has anyone come to look for our father and son during this period?"

Uncle Li shook his head and said, "No one has come." ”

Mu Xun pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Li has prepared a carriage for me, I have to go out." ”

Li Shuqi said: "You are so seriously injured that you can't rest in bed, where do you want to go?"

Uncle Li has been a servant in the Mu family for more than 20 years, and is the oldest servant of the Mu family, it can be said that Mu Xun has grown up all the way from him, and the relationship between the two is quite close, and he has always regarded Mu Xun as a naughty little grandson, not a little master, so under the concern, the words are inevitably offside. But after a pause, he added: "If you have anything urgent to do, just tell me to go, don't go out in person!"

Mu Xun smiled bitterly: "If I can let others do it for me, why do I need to find guilt for myself? ”

Mu Xun was stubborn, and Uncle Li knew that it would be useless to persuade him further, so he had to say: "Mu Ye specially ordered the kitchen to make medicinal chicken soup for you to drink, just drink a bowl before leaving." ”

As soon as he heard that there was chicken soup to drink, Mu Xun immediately felt hungry in his stomach, he had been on the road like chasing stars and moons, and it was indeed a long time since he had eaten a decent meal, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, let them send it over." ”

Then Uncle Li helped him get dressed and then left the room. After a while, the servants in the kitchen came into the house with cups, saucers and dishes, and Mu Xun was limited by his injuries, so he had to eat the meal under the service of others.

After eating, he slowly moved to the courtyard, and when he saw Uncle Li waiting in the shade of the tree, he asked, "Uncle Li, is the carriage ready?"

Uncle Li stepped forward and hugged him and said, "I'm waiting at the door, but I have to go with you." ”

Mu Xun smiled bitterly: "I'm just going to see a friend, why do you have to work so hard?"

Uncle Li shook his head seriously and said, "Originally, I shouldn't have let you go out, but I also knew that I couldn't stop you, so I could only follow you wherever you went." ”

Mu Xun said helplessly: "Then let's go, let's go to the Yunju Chamber of Commerce." ”

Soon, the carriage drove slowly on the street, and Uncle Li specially told the coachman not to go too fast. In the carriage, Mu Xun was silent, thinking about his thoughts, Uncle Li wanted to ask him about the various experiences he had encountered in the past few days when he left home, but when he saw that he looked distracted at this time, he knew that even if he asked, he probably had no intention of answering, so he had to hold back and not ask at the moment.

After walking slowly for about an hour, the carriage stopped steadily at the door of the Yunju Chamber of Commerce. The coachman lifted the curtain and shouted at Mu Xun in the carriage, "Young master, we are here." ”

Mu Xun came back to his senses and said to Uncle Li: "You wait in the car, I'll look for Brother He and say a few words and come back." ”

Uncle Li hesitated: "This... I'd better go with you. After a pause, he added: "I don't listen to what you say, I'm just waiting for you outside the door." ”

Mu Xun smiled and refused: "I met with Brother He this time, it is really not appropriate for others to be on the side, you are always waiting for me in the car." ”

Uncle Li insisted on it twice, but was still rejected by Mu Xun, so he had to nod and agree, and after helping him out of the car, he told again: "If you have something, go out and call me!"

At this time, there were three people standing at the door of the Chamber of Commerce, and when they saw that the person who got down from the carriage was Mu Xun, they all exclaimed, and one of the short and fat men hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Mu? Why are you here? Aren't you hurt?"

Mu Xun knew this person, this man was the foreman in charge of carrying the goods in the Chamber of Commerce, named Lu Lishan, he was very humorous, and he often said some jokes when he met, which was considered a little friendship, so he laughed at himself: "I am fortunate to have escaped death, hurry up and report to Brother He." ”

After hearing this, Lu Lishan's expression suddenly became strange, he glanced back at the door, and whispered: "It's not appropriate to talk here, let's go to the back door." ”

At this time, Uncle Li, who had been listening not far away, immediately asked, "Why do you want to go through the back door?" and then said to Mu Xun: "Why don't we go back first, and if there is anything, we will wait for Mu Ye to come back and make plans." ”

Mu Xun was also curious about Lu Lishan's strange behavior, and was about to ask, but he heard Lu Lishan say to Uncle Li: "Don't panic, brother-in-law, Brother Mu and I have known each other for many years. He turned to the two people behind him and said, "Why don't you two hurry up and drive the old man's carriage to the next courtyard, and then wait for the old man to use tea." ”

The two big men came forward, invited Uncle Li, and said in a loud voice, "Old man, please come with us." ”

Uncle Li shook his head and said, "No, you guys are weird, I have to stay with the young master." ”

Although Mu Xun knew that Uncle Li was kind, he really felt that he was in the way, so he couldn't help frowning and said: "I'll go in for a stick of incense, if you don't see me come out by then, you can find it again." ”

Uncle Li thought about it, then agreed, so he followed the two men to the next courtyard.

Lu Lishan led Mu Xun to the back door quickly, entered the courtyard and passed through a green corridor, and finally came to a room stacked with groceries.

Seeing Lu Lishan close the door vigilantly, Mu Xunqi said: "Brother Lu, this is not like your usual style, why are you so sneaky, what's wrong?"

Lu Lishan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you know who is in the Chamber of Commerce right now?"

Mu Xun was amused in his heart, and secretly thought: "What you are asking, I don't have the ability to predict the future, where will I know what characters are coming." But he asked, "Who is here?"

Lu Lishan suddenly puffed out a pair of big eyes, and said word by word: "Guizhou! Weng family!"

Mu Xun instantly exclaimed, "Ah! he... It's the word Weng..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Lishan immediately reached out to cover his mouth and whispered, "You can be quiet, they are next door!"

Mu Xun held his breath and nodded to indicate that he knew, and then Lu Lishan let go of his palm, pointed to the north partition wall, and said: "Next door to this room is the main hall, and they are talking in the hall right now, we have to be careful to whisper, so as not to be discovered by them." ”

Mu Xun was shocked, and asked in a low voice: "How dare this group of people come here? Aren't they afraid of being dismantled?"
