Chapter 91

"Are you still sleepy?"

Mu Chenxi lay next to Zhao Huan's ear and whispered: "If you don't think about it, you can't get up. We have gone back to our home now."

"It's okay."

Zhao Huan opened his eyes in a daze and looked Mu Chenxi was already dressed, "You are ready to cook."

"Well, it's okay to eat later."

Mu Chenxi stroked Zhao Huan's cheek, "You have been exhausted these two days. I don't understand business matters. The patriarch and the others have been I asked you to talk about opening a workshop, and I didn't have any time to rest at all."

"Oh!"

Zhao Huan thought of the few days he spent back in Mujiacun, and he didn't have any time to spare. "It's not their fault, we are always busy. They are too embarrassed to disturb us, so they just want to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to settle the matter."

At this point, Zhao Huan felt a little embarrassed, "I'm anxious to come back and check out the workshop area and discuss the contract for hiring people from other villages. , but the clan leader and the others have not had a good time in the past few years and are busy with this matter."

Mu Chenxi chuckled after hearing what he said, "I know you are impatient to entertain these things, so I told them that we will return in the second grade of junior high school. The third graders in the study room entertained those students, so they took the time to set up the rules with you. "

"So it's you!"

Zhao Huan said with a smile, reaching out to pinch Mu Chenxi's nose, "I said, I just mentioned it. They started hurriedly planning where the workshop should be built and how the contract should be established. They didn't even care about it for years. "

He stood up and put on his clothes. Mu Chenxi handed them to him one by one and said with a smile: "They don't care about celebrating the New Year. This is a major event for the whole village. If they weren't afraid that you wouldn't be able to celebrate the New Year, and they didn't worry about going out to do errands on New Year's Day, they could take you to see places on the same day as they discussed with you."

Zhao They happily remembered that on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, they had paid homage to their ancestor, filled in his name on the Mu family tree, and then followed Mu Chenxi to pay New Year greetings to each family.

The enthusiasm of the villagers made him laugh so hard that he went back to catch up on his sleep. When he got up at noon and finished his meal, the clan leader came to discuss opening a workshop.

Since then, he has never been idle. Discuss how to build the workshop and where to build it. They also discussed a series of issues such as the shortage of manpower, how to bind them with contracts, how to assign work, and so on.

In the afternoon of the second grade of junior high school, seize the time to discuss everything properly. Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi hurried back. Seeing the clan leader's posture, they would not stop if they stayed there.

There were many people in the village, ready to line up to entertain him and Mu Chenxi. Now Zhao Huan thinks about it, if it were not for the clan leader and the others, they might have been warmly invited to visit various houses.

"The people in your village are so enthusiastic!"

Zhao Huan couldn't help but say to Mu Chenxi after getting dressed.

Mu Chenxi smiled and said, "You have helped them so much. Now it can be said that the whole village relies on you to make money. How could they not want to thank you!"

"I see that their life is not easy, and you are here, so I feel relieved. "

Zhao Huan looked at Mu Chenxi seriously. If Mu Chenxi didn't protect him in every possible way, he wouldn't be so diligent and willing.

According to his own sensitive heart and cold personality, he will definitely have reservations. At least it will not cause trouble to himself. Everything must be based on protecting himself.

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi smiled and took Zhao Huan's hand, and said with serious eyes: "I will not let anyone bully you. I will protect you and always be by your side. We have the same mood as you."

"Yeah."

Zhao Huan nodded and smiled, then went out to wash up with Mu Chenxi, "I'll also go to the study room for a while. Give myself an annual leave, and I'll start working again after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."

"You should take a few more days off."

Mu Chenxi brought him water, "Not only have you not had any rest in the past few days, you have also been tired."

"Even entertaining guests is tiring. If we can do business and help many people make a living, it's worth being tired."

Zhao Huan knew that he felt sorry for her and said with a smile: "You said you would draw more pictures for me, but you didn't draw many pictures a year ago. I want to see you finish them for me as soon as possible."

"I've been wanting to draw them for you these days . "

Hearing what he said, Mu Chenxi raised her lips and smiled, "We have nothing to do these days, so we just paint together. This is not considered work. Painting to pass the time in our free time is considered as our leisure together. "

... ...

"Mu Juren, Mr. Zhao's family."

As soon as Mu Chenxi and Zhao Huan entered the study room, they were seen by the students, and they all came forward to say New Year greetings, "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

Mu Chenxi and Zhao Huan returned the greetings, and then sat down. Afterwards, Mu Chenxi smiled and said: "At the beginning of the new year, we and I wish you all the best and your studies to a higher level."

"Thank you Mu Ju and Mr. Zhao." One of the students who was familiar with them said with a smile. "With all your help, we would be so ashamed if we haven't made any progress yet!"

"Don't be too hasty in everything." Zhao Huan said with a smile, "Step by step is the right way. The most important thing in school is to work steadily and lay a solid foundation for the future. But things can go a long way."

"Dong Zhao is right, we can't make rapid progress."

"Yes, in such a good learning environment, we must lay a solid foundation. We can't aim too high, which will not be of any benefit to the future."

I agree with Zhao Huan's words. Some people who are eager for quick success and eager to get promoted gradually calm down and think about it, and understand that step by step is the most powerful for their studies.

Seeing that they all understood, Zhao Huan didn't say anything else. He just smiled and said: "If you have any good suggestions for the study room, you can put them forward to discuss improvements. If you need help in other aspects, you can also put them forward. Let's work together. Let's discuss it. There is strength in numbers, and we can always solve problems by helping each other.

"We don't need anything more. We still need guidance from famous teachers. What else can

we ask for?" , I will live up to Mu Ju and Zhao Dong's family's support."

"If there are difficulties at home, or there is a shortage of county examination fees, you can tell me clearly."

Mu Chenxi's childish mentality is different from Zhao Huan's understanding of human nature. The difficulties you encountered before bring up the most critical things.

"Haha, we make money by copying books, and my family earns money by working for you. Now every family is doing well, and we can support ourselves for the county examination."

"Thank you, Mu Juren, for always thinking ahead for us. If we really have difficulties, we will Put it forward, please help me find a solution."

These students have been with Mu Chenxi for a long time, and they no longer have any concerns about face and self-esteem. Knowing that he is sincerely helping, they all feel ashamed.

The road ahead is already difficult, and we are in a predicament unable to extricate ourselves. Some people really don't want to repay and lend a helping hand, so how can they be pretentious.

Zhao Huan sat aside silently, watching all this with a smile and letting Mu Chenxi do whatever he wanted. Smooth sailing is not a good thing, setbacks will make people grow quickly.

No matter whether Mu Chenxi sees the dark side of people's hearts or continues to be so innocent, Zhao Huan will be by his side and neither will let him get hurt.

............

"Daughter-in-law, what were you thinking about in the study room just now?"

Mu Chenxi smiled brightly and looked at Zhao Huan with burning eyes, "Thinking too much is very tiring. The two of us work together, even if there are setbacks, we will not be enough."

"Yes. "

Zhao Huan was infected by his relaxed tone and couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes! No matter what happens, we face it together. There is really nothing to worry about." "

Although everything seems to be fine for those students, in fact. How can complex things be explained clearly in just one or two sentences?"

Mu Chenxi turned her head and looked at the cold whistling past, murmuring as if to herself, "I used to have a lot of things on my mind that I couldn't express to others. It feels uncomfortable to hold it in my heart."

He said what was on his mind, looking relieved, but his eyes were filled with grief, which made Zhao Huan hold his hand tightly in distress.

It was said that Mu Chenxi was so focused on studying that he didn't hear what was going on outside the window, but some people refused to let him do what he wanted and let him hear those complaints with his own ears.

The family lives in poverty, and no one wants to support a student who spends a lot of money. This is also the origin of the matter. Most families may have this problem.

Regarding this unanswerable question, some people don't dare to resist, or they know that resisting is useless, so they resort to making small mistakes in private.

Mu Chenxi heard the complaints from the two sisters-in-law with his own ears, and clearly understood that they deliberately let him hear them. He could not complain, let alone tell the rest of the family.

After all, it is because of him that the family has always lived in poverty. It's also because if he said it, it would cause disharmony in the family and maybe something unexpected would happen.

For these reasons, he kept it in his heart, while actively studying hard to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, so as to give some compensation to his family, and this developed into the scene he appeared in Rongdu.

Because he lacked money, he participated in a literary society to compete with others, hoping to win some lottery prizes to solve the dilemma, and that's why he suffered that disaster.

Mu Chenxi wanted to make some money with her own abilities, and she had always done so. But he had always been focused on studying, and being at the feet of the emperor of Rongdu, he was naturally afraid of those children from aristocratic families.

After getting what he wanted, he naturally wanted to leave early. Only then, when others blocked him, he fell down and hit his head while trying to escape in a panic. As a result, all his efforts were wasted and he missed the opportunity to try.

"Don't think about the past."

Zhao Huan said distressedly: "It's all in the past. These things won't happen again in the future. Let's just forget those bad things!"

"We can't forget it, but we won't think about it deliberately. Mu Chenxi smiled faintly and said with gentle eyes: "

I just miss those students. Although their families' livelihoods have been solved now, there may be some people in my family who don't want to tell others, so I just want to do something for them. , if they study on their own without having to pay for help from their families, they don't have to listen to other people's complaints anymore!"

"Yes, you are right,"

Zhao Huan said, "I just think people are unpredictable, and I don't want you to encounter this. People. If your passion is used, played with, or applauded, many unexpected things may happen. I don't want you to face this and feel sad about it."

"I understand.

" I know what Zhao Huan is thinking, and I also know that he is kind-hearted and helps the weak, but he thinks too much and may be disappointed in human nature.

"I may not have the right sense, but those who need help more often have low self-esteem and sensitive minds, because they can't even ask for help."

Mu Chenxi expressed her thoughts and explained to Zhao Huan what she had done, "Daughter-in-law "My children are very strong, but some people are very fragile. I want to give them more care and a positive attitude, even if I let them feel a little warmth."

In the biting cold weather, they talked to each other and talked about themselves. Think in your mind, explain some of your actions, and tell the people you care about.

They ignored the bad weather and some worldly complications, and just listened or talked quietly, wanting to truly understand each other and enter each other's spiritual world.

"Okay! You're right."

Zhao Huan listened quietly to some of Mu Chenxi's thoughts, and finally admitted that some of his thoughts were wrong. He was defeated by his scruples about human nature, and because he would be given some blank looks for his efforts.

But Mu Chenxi doesn't think about this. I want to help you and I want to help you, so I will do my best. As for what others think and what their thoughts are, he doesn't care at all because he doesn't want anything in return.

As for him discovering that someone has evil intentions or hidden evil intentions, Mu Chenxi will naturally not be stupid enough to be plotted by others, nor will he be kind enough to take whatever he wants. This can be seen from his attitude towards his family.

"You're right, it's just that everyone thinks and does things differently."

Seeing that Zhao Huan understood what he meant, Mu Chenxi no longer worried about being attacked by human nature, and smiled softly: "We are all because of the hardships we have had. If I want to help others without expecting anything in return, I will naturally not feel sad and angry towards those ungrateful people. They don't deserve it either. "

"I just want to help good people, not the white-eyed wolves. I just want to be kind and weak. Don't let anyone else take advantage of me."

Zhao Huan smiled and said, "I'm right. This is what I want to do and what I'm willing to do."

"That's right."

Mu Chenxi: "Some things are weird. It is difficult to define, just like good and bad, there is no specific distinction. A person may be good today, but he may be bad tomorrow. He may be good to some people and bad to some people, so we distinguish between good and bad. "

He squeezed Zhao Huan's hand and said with a smile: "It's so tiring to think about whether others are good or bad, and whether it's worth it or not is worth it. Can't we just do what we like and are willing to do? How simple. "

Chapter 92

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi came out of the academy and saw Zhao Huan standing under the car waiting for him. He said happily: "Brother Zhang is going to the county to take an exam. Shall we go see him off tomorrow? It happens to be a day off tomorrow." "

Okay. "

Zhao Huan nodded, and was surprised to realize that it was already February, and Mu Chenxi and the others had started classes for more than a month. "Do you think Brother Zhang is sure?"

Zhao Huan didn't understand academic matters, so he could only ask Mu Chenxi, "After all, he If he really studies late, you can give him some advice if he fails the exam. "

"It doesn't matter if he studies sooner or later,"

Mu Chenxi said with a smile, "He has good talent and is willing to work hard. There is no big problem in passing the exam, but his ranking may be higher. "Stay behind."

"Just pass the exam."

Zhao Huan heard what he said and said with a smile: "You don't have to be outstanding to be a scholar. The exam will be taken in a few years. The most important thing is that he won this year."

"That's right."

Mu Chenxi got on the car and took the whip to drive, "He is going to be engaged to Xinyue, which is a good sign. If he can win the election next year, then the marriage will be the icing on the cake again."

"It seems that he is quite sober. I didn't think about taking the exam this year."

Zhao Huan agreed. Zhang Cheng is indeed a man of success. "If we don't get married this year, there is hope for double happiness next year."

"Haha"

Mu Chenxi chuckled. Passing the exam successfully is a double blessing."

Zhao Huan was silent for a while and said with a smile, "Yes, getting engaged is also a great event. We just don't know when they will find each other. We won't know until the matter is finalized.

" You are too busy. Once the shop in the county town opened, you stayed in the sculpture room all day and came out just before going to bed at night. It seems that making too much money is not a good thing."

Although Mu Chenxi's words were a bit resentful, there was a constant smile on his face. His eyes were full of heartache, "We won't make so much, okay?"

Zhao Huan looked up at the willow tree that was about to sprout on the roadside, and suddenly felt that he was so busy during this period that he didn't know how old he was, and he was with Mu Chenxi sooner or later. It's also in a hurry.

He lowered his head and thought about whether it was worth it. He was at a loss and found that he had no memory of this period of time.

Zhao Huan raised his head and looked at Mu Chenxi again. That handsome face was still so fresh, but his mood was like that of old age, and he didn't even notice the passage of time.

"Well, I won't be so busy anymore!"

Zhao Huan realized that the most precious person was by his side, but he was busy with things that he had no memories of. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?

"Brother, they have become apprentices. Although their craftsmanship is not very good, it still requires long-term training and the learning time is too short."

Zhao Huan saw Mu Chenxi turning to look at him and said with a smile: "From now on, I will be responsible for the high-quality products and the rest. I will hand it over completely and take care of my apprentices when I have time. I will strive to cultivate a few skilled ones. I will try to be as little involved as possible in the future."

"Aren't you still busy with the dowry of Xu Mansion in the county?"

Mu Chenxi asked, "You still have to do it . How long? You're already tired and thin!"

"Ms. Xu is getting married in early May. I'll send her there in mid-April, less than two months later."

Zhao Huan smiled and took the initiative to hold Mu Chenxi's hand, "in two months. , I will definitely not be so busy, and I will accept limited quantities of high-quality products in the future. Now I have selected a few people, and they are very smart. After a while, I will be able to accept the general high-quality products, and then I will retire little by little. "

... ...

Early the next morning, a group of people gathered at the entrance of the town. Not only was Zhang Cheng going to take the county exam today, but there were also many other students.

Most of those students were from Mu Chenxi's study room. Zhao Huan counted twelve of them, and one by one he came up to say goodbye and wish them high school.

When Zhang Cheng came here, he was naturally different from others, "Brother Zhang, don't be stressed." Zhao Huan said with a smile, he saw Mu Xinyue blushing beside him, "Chen Xi said you are sure, I would like to congratulate you first. "

Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Zhang Cheng looked grateful. Without Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi, he would not be where he is today. "Our family has received great kindness from you. I know you don't ask for anything in return, but I still want to say thank you sincerely." "

You're welcome."

Zhao Huan patted him on the shoulder, "This is all due to your own efforts. We just did it with a little effort."

When he was about to speak again, someone grabbed his hand, and Mu Chenxi accepted it with a smile on his face. After he said it, "We will be a family from now on, and we can't be so polite anymore."

"Yeah, I understand."

Zhang Cheng nodded with a smile, stopped being polite to them, and turned to look at Mu Xin who was standing next to him. Yue, nodded and smiled, turned around and got in the car.

"Go back."

Zhang Cheng waved to them, and as the car drove farther and farther, he gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Zhao Huan and the others went back, and Mu Chenxi kept holding Zhao Huan's hand, rubbing it from time to time. "What's wrong?" Zhao Huan asked strangely.

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi looked aggrieved and looked at Zhao Huan with resentful eyes, "You just patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder, but you never patted me on the shoulder."

"Pfft, hahaha."

Zhao Huan was amused by him and pointed. Mu Chenxi shook her head helplessly, "I won't take pictures of anyone in the future, just yourself, okay?"

"Okay."

Mu Chenxi smiled at him, handed his shoulder over, lowered his head slightly and said, "Give it to my wife. Take whatever you want."

"Pat, pat, pat."

Zhao Huan smiled and took several shots in a row, looking at Mu Chenxi happily, "You! Just to make me happy, even if you don't do this, I will see you. I'm already very happy."

"Hehe."

Mu Chenxi smiled stupidly. He didn't like Zhao Huan touching others, but he wanted him to be happy. "You've been too busy to smile during this period. Of course I want to make you happy. "Seeing you smile makes me happy."

"I know."

Zhao Huan was a little moved and felt a little uncomfortable. He ignored Mu Chenxi in order to make money in the county town, "I will definitely not be so busy in the future." Once I have trained the talents, I will hand them over to them and let them develop on their own. I will take care of them from behind and stay with you from now on."

"Okay, I'll wait,"

Mu Chenxi said with a smile, holding Zhao Huan's hand. He walked back his hand and said, "We can talk and laugh again then, so that the family won't be deserted."

Zhao Huan said that the few schools that followed him in last autumn can carve fine works, and even if he doesn't leave completely by then, he will still be able to carve fine works. Will control a certain amount and not take action easily.

When they reached the entrance of Plum Blossom Alley, Mu Chenxi was still walking in. Zhao Huan pulled him and said, "I can go back by myself. You can go to the study room. You don't need to accompany me." "

Yeah, okay."

Mu Chenxi Nodding in agreement, he let go of Zhao Huan's hand, "I'll watch you come in."

"Okay." Zhao Huan said with a smile. When he reached the door of the house, he turned back and smiled at Mu Chenxi, waving his hand to signal Mu Chenxi to leave quickly.

Mu Chenxi waited until he saw Zhao Huan enter with his own eyes, then turned around and walked to the study room. Before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by someone.

He looked back and saw Amber and the teacher's carriage stopping behind him. Mu Chenxi immediately ran over happily, "Amber, teacher, you are here."

"Yes."

Amber smiled and motioned to Mu Chenxi After getting in the car, after he sat firmly, he said: "I saw you and your wife from a distance. Why does he look so thin?"

"Alas!"

Mu Chenxi was a little worried, "He opened another wood art studio in the county town. "Although I didn't go, I was working hard at home from morning to night, and I didn't have any time to rest."

"That's not good, you have to take care of yourself,"

Amber said, patting Mu Chenxi and saying, "You." I have to persuade him not to ruin his health just to make more money."

Mu

Chenxi looked at Amber's concerned eyes and smiled brightly, "My wife said that he will be dead by April. If he is not busy anymore, he will also reduce the number of custom orders in the future. When the few apprentices he has trained can take over from him, he will hand over Mu Yi Xuan to my cousin and the others. "

" That's good,"

Amber said . Nodding, looking at Mu Chenxi's childish smile, his mood improved, and he smiled and said, "It's not easy for your wife to create such a big business at such a young age."

"Well, although he didn't say it, I know He worked hard."

Mu Chenxi lowered her eyelashes and whispered: "Not only is it about Mu Yixuan, but also the knitting workshop in our village and the study room. All of this is for me."

He looked up . Amber, "If it were him, he wouldn't have to work so hard. He could live a very good life just relying on his carving skills. But with my family, tribe, and to support me in opening a study room, all these require money and his constant

"Alas!"

Amber sighed, looked at Jiang Haohai and said, "We didn't do anything for the two children. We saw their abilities, but we just let them work hard."

"It's not you . "I'm afraid they will have a hard time!"

Jiang Haohai was helpless, he was complained again, "Let's wait until they enter Rongdu. It's too far away now and we can't let them go there right away. With Chen Xi's wife's ability, she can take over soon." "

What?"

Mu Chenxi didn't understand what they were saying, so she blinked and asked in confusion, "Teacher, Amber, do you have anything to help me with?"

"Anything you can help is yours."

Amber smiled . No more talking, "Get out of the car and go to the study room. When you go to Rongdu in the future, you will know what is going on. I will let you have two more years of leisure."

"I will go to Rongdu in two years to take the exam, Amber Are you going back too?"

Mu Chenxi asked happily. He took Amber's hand and said, "Amber, I am so smart and knowledgeable, I will definitely pass the exam. If I am assigned to an official position in the future, you and the teacher will Go to our place and I will miss you if I can't see you!"

"How old are you? You still look like a child."

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Haohai couldn't help but smile and scold him, "I will need you to support me in old age in the future! Don't worry, wait for us. If I can't move, I'll go find you."

"It's agreed that we can't change."

Mu Chenxi was not afraid of his scolding and happily helped Amber move forward, "Maybe we will come back in the future. You won't have to look for me anymore."

Jiang Haohai smiled meaningfully, and instead of accepting his words, asked: "I'm going to Fucheng for the joint entrance examination next month. Do you want to go? If you want, you can go. It happens to be your wife. If you have time, you can go there.

"No, let my wife rest at home for a while. " "

Mu Chenxi shook his head and refused. He knew that Zhao Huan would not be able to leave at any time, unless there was an apprentice who could replace him, or the customization work would have to be stopped for a while.

He looked at Jiang Haohai, rolled his eyes, and smiled slightly. : "I am not a student of the academy. If I go there with an unfair reputation, I will be accused of taking someone else's place, so forget it.

"Well" Jiang

Haohai was startled. He hadn't thought about this problem. It would be okay if Mu Chenxi went. No one would object based on his academic skills, but it was hard to say whether he would occupy a quota.

This was indeed a problem. Mu Chenxi did not belong to the academy. , he occupies a quota, and if someone is unwilling to do so, it is reasonable to say that it will harm Mu Chenxi's reputation in the future.

"Well, forget it, I have wronged you. "

Jiang Haohai secretly thought that he had made a mistake. Why didn't he say a word at that time and not include him in the academy? He didn't expect that he would have to take the scientific examination and didn't ask him to be included in the academy. Now he is a little helpless.

"No, I am not wronged . Don't like false reputation. "

The smile on Mu Chenxi's face did not change. His wife said that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. It is better to keep a low profile in everything and just live a good life quietly.

"We are Chenxi! Amber smiled and patted Mu Chenxi's hand, "

You are so smart and knowledgeable, good-looking, and kind-hearted. I won't be able to become famous in the future."

"Hmm, huh, huh. " Mu Chenxi

was so happy with his praise that she nodded her head, "When I become famous, I will tell them what Amber, my teacher, and my wife taught me." "

"Hahaha. "

Jiang Haohai and Amber looked at him like this, looked at each other, and laughed. This kid really hit the spot.

Chapter 93

"Hey!"

Zhao Huan stretched and hurriedly finished everything in mid-April.

Xu's dowry has been carved long ago, and the reason why Zhao Huan has been busy is to rush to carve a batch of boutique stores for the newly opened Najia Muyixuan in the county.

The town still needs a few pieces, and the pictures alone are not attractive. Shopkeeper Xiao has a few more items to send, and Zhao Huan is really busy and dizzy during this period.

He walked outside, the sun was already setting, and he squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky. The blue sky and white clouds, the fresh air, make people breathe much easier.

"Alas!"

Zhao Huan sighed slightly. He was so busy that he didn't even know what day it was and how deep the courtyard was.

Looking at the sultry spring scenery in the garden, with hundreds of flowers in full bloom vying for beauty, Mu Chenxi has always taken care of this.

He arranged the elegant scenery, and with a faint smile, Mu Chenxi quietly took over everything in the house, and was able to rearrange the house according to her own taste.

It seems that during the time he ignored, Mu Chenxi has made great progress, and even his taste has become much more refined.

At the same time, I have done a lot for myself silently, and I don't have the shamelessness to bother myself with my obsessive rogue temperament. I have really grown up, and I don't have to worry about it anymore.

.........

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi came out of the academy and saw Zhao Huan looking at her with a leisurely look and a smile on her face. Her heart moved, "Are you done?"

"Yes."

Zhao Huan held his hand, He smiled and said, "I won't be busy anymore. I promised you."

"Well, that's great."

Mu Chenxi nodded happily, looking at the dark blue under Zhao Huan's eyes, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch it, "Go to bed early today. Don't get up too early tomorrow morning, I'll accompany you."

"Oh!"

Zhao Huan patted his forehead and smiled angrily, "I'm sorry, I forgot that you will have a rest tomorrow." "It's okay, I just remember

."

He motioned for Zhao Huan to get in the car, "The students who participated in the Fucheng Joint Entrance Examination are leaving today. I have been affected by them during this period, and I have been working hard. I am also a little tired. It just so happens that we can have a good rest together tomorrow.

"

"Yeah."

When Zhao Huan woke up, he saw the bright sun shining outside the window. He sat up in surprise and saw that the room was quiet. Mu Chenxi had already gotten up early.

He put on his clothes and was about to go out when he saw Mu Chenxi pushing the door open and saying, "Daughter-in-law, wake up

." "Yes."

Zhao Huan said with a smile. He looked outside the door and said, "It's almost noon, right?"

"Yes. Mu

Chenxi smiled and pulled Zhao Huan over, "Are you hungry? The food is ready. You can eat it after washing up."

After Zhao Huan washed up, he looked at the dishes on the table and said with a smile. I also bought shrimps."

"The uncle who sells shrimps brought them."

Mu Chenxi peeled the shrimps for him and asked, "What are you doing now? I can accompany you.

"

Zhao Huan said while eating: "Arrange for someone to deliver the ornaments to Shopkeeper Mu, and ask him to deliver the dowry ornaments from the Xu Mansion."

"Oh."

Mu Chenxi thought for a while, looked at Zhao Huan and said, "It's still necessary. Let the cousin go to the state capital, right? Don't you want to give a gift to the young lady of the Xun Daofu to thank her for helping introduce a lot of business?"

Zhao

Huan was reminded by him and suddenly remembered this matter. "I was so busy that I fainted. If you hadn't remembered, I wouldn't have thought of it when."

"Haha."

Mu Chenxi smiled, "You're busy, so I'll help you remember some. I heard from my cousin that you still have to be there." I'm going to open a branch in the state capital. I'm going to find time to go over and take a look at the store."

"You eat first, don't patronize me."

Zhao Huan saw that he was peeling shrimps for himself and hurriedly stopped him, "It's mainly about knitting. Fucheng is developing, and it's still early for Mu Yixuan to open a branch. It won't be until autumn."

After saying that, he brought over the plate with shrimps, "You eat first, and I'll peel a few for you ."

"Hmm." Mu Chenxi wiped her hands and picked up the bowl to eat. When Zhao Huan handed over the shrimp, he moved the bowl to the side and opened his mouth for Zhao Huan to put it in his mouth. "

Ah, ah, ah."

Haha."

Zhao Huan was amused by him and shook his head fondly, "How old are you, you still want me to feed you?"

"How old are you? You are my wife's favorite!"

Mu Chenxi narrowed her eyes and chewed with satisfaction. Delicious river shrimp, smiled and said: "Isn't it necessary to pamper and hurt?"

...

The next day, Butler Xu took Mu Chenxing to see Master Xu and Miss Xu.

"I've met Madam, Miss."

After Mu Chenxing saluted, he motioned to the people following him to bring up the gift that Zhao Huan promised to give to Miss Xu, "This is our employer's gift to Miss Xu."

Mrs. Xu saw Zhao Huan. Congratulatory gift, "Huh?" Her eyes widened in surprise. Following the surprise, she stood up suddenly and took a few steps to the dressing mirror carved by Zhao Huan.

The smooth and bright mirror reflected the person clearly, even the shallow crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were reflected exactly on the mirror.

"This, this is a mirror."

Master Xu looked at Mu Chenxing, "This is the mirror that is hard to find for the Rongdu royal family. The Zhao family is so talented that they can get such a precious thing."

Mu Chenxing smiled slightly and said: "The things are not too precious, mainly because they are rare. Our boss said that he can get some every year, but the quantity is limited, and he has been reluctant to part with it."

He looked at Miss Xu, "Our boss knows that the Xu family has a great business, so what kind of rare gold is valuable? He had everything, but he had nothing else to offer, so he could only make a dressing mirror for the lady to express his feelings.

"I like it, I like it,"

Miss Xu happily stepped forward and caressed it fondly . , touching the full-length mirror, "Mom, this is the mirror in Rongdu specially for the royal family, right? The prefect's wife got a piece and mounted it on the dressing table. It is said that no one is allowed to see it unless she is happy."

"That is one foot square. It's not as big as you."

Mrs. Xu also looked at the floor-length mirror in front of her with joy. It was one and a half meters high and two feet wide. "You can't buy this gift from Mr. Zhao!"

She sighed slightly. I am just a merchant, and even if I have money, I can't find a way out. Not everyone can get those officials. The emperor must pay attention to the rewards to get such a piece.

When Mrs. Xu thought of this, her mind moved slightly, and she looked at Mu Chenxing with a very hot look in her eyes, "Shopkeeper Mu, you just said that the Zhao family still has it, but they don't know how to sell it."

"It hasn't been sold yet, and the owner is a little reluctant to part with it."

When Mu Chenxing saw Mrs. Xu taking the bait, he had a faint smile on his face, "Apart from giving it to Miss Xu, the young lady of the Fucheng Patrol Office is lucky enough to get one. Others don't know that my boss has this."

"Oh, this is a good thing."

Mrs. Xu made sure that Zhao Huan still had it in her hand, and she smiled broadly, "Mr. Zhao's kindness is priceless, thank you so much."

She turned to tell Butler Xu, "Shopkeeper Mu has worked hard, I will reward you with fifty Two silver coins. I heard that Zhao Dong's family has opened a wood art studio in the county. I will take one thousand taels of silver notes as a gift.

"Please go back and give our thanks to Boss Mu. We will visit you another day when you have time.

" Madam was very generous this time. She only rewarded Mu Chenxing with two taels of silver last time. Asking for something is different. Mu Chenxing knew in his heart that this was also his and Zhao Huan's intention.

"Thank you, madam. I will definitely bring Mrs. Xu's thanks."

After Mu Chenxing finished speaking, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Miss Xu. Go back."

Miss Xu looked at her maid and motioned for her to bring up the things. These are two pieces of high-quality brocade. They are expensive at first glance. "These two pieces of brocade are a small gift to Dong Zhao and Mu Juren. " Okay

, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my boss and Mu Juren."

Mu Chenxing gave a deep gift. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this young lady had already prepared for it, even if the gift she gave today was not what she wanted. Express thanks.

.........

Mu Chenxing came back with the money and happily reported to Zhao Huan, "Miss Xu is really good-natured. She likes the things we carved very much. She also prepared the thank-you gifts early."

Zhao Huan heard what he said. , just smiled and said, "The little girl is innocent and innocent. She doesn't have many gains and losses. Naturally, she will not be the same as Mrs. Xu."

He looked at Mu Chenxing, who looked like a rich man. He was dressed in brocade clothes and jade belt, and he became more and more calm and restrained. Although there was a smile on his face, he didn't see the kind of little family that Lie Xinxi looked like.

"Shopkeeper Mu is not an ordinary person now."

Zhao Huan teased him: "Not only is he in charge of Muyixuan now, but Wenxinfang also has to listen to your arrangements. We will all rely on you to make a fortune in the future."

"Hahaha."

Mu Chenxing laughed heartily, "It's because of the boss's attention that we can be where we are today!"

Mu Chenxing knew clearly that without Zhao Huan, he would still be a farmer working everywhere, and he would have to think hard even to have a full meal.

"Alas!"

He sighed, the smile on his face unchanged, "Our Mujia Village is really prosperous now! Even several surrounding villages have started to help. All of this is thanks to our boss, our Chenxi and Mujia Village You are lucky."

"Okay, you have learned this now."

Zhao Huan looked at him sighing and said with a smile: "It's better to go back and prepare, don't rush back to Fucheng. Look around. If there is a store you like, buy it directly. Don't wait until next autumn. You may not find the right one then. "

Mu

Chenxing said. He looked at Zhao Huan and thought again . After a while, he said, "We are going to the state capital. We may catch up with the students taking the state examination. Do you need to go and see?"

"That's right!"

After what he said, Zhao Huan suddenly remembered this and said with a smile, "Don't you I forgot about it, they haven't come back yet. According to the time that Chen Xi said, you will be able to come back together, so let's go and have a look. "I think so, there is our uncle Mu Chen

there." He

said with a cheerful smile, as if he was old and happy, "Our Mu family can't do anything if we don't develop. Seeing that even the scholar is our uncle, it will be terrible if Chen Xi becomes an official in the future."

He looked at Zhao Huan and said with a smile . : "They are rich and powerful, plus we have people,

who else are we afraid of? How many girls want to marry into our Mujia Village now, they are almost queuing up." "It used to be said that our Mujia Village is poor and the people are poor. Barbaric and unreasonable, but now!"

He was talking a little bit, Zhao Huan listened silently, knowing that he was feeling uncomfortable, and let him vent.

When he had said enough, Zhao Huan said softly: "It's all over. Let's look forward to the future. We can also understand the thoughts of those people. Who is willing to marry their daughter to a poor family. If they don't have enough food and clothing, they will We also need to think more."

"Yes, I understand."

Mu Chenxing was in a low mood and had not yet recovered from the pain in the past. "I understand, but it is a little uncomfortable. However, our village will not be afraid of these things in the future. It's difficult to get married, and things like being separated one by one will not happen again."

"Oh."

Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows slightly. Hearing this, it seemed that there were many unknown things that had happened. He thought slightly but still did not open his mouth to ask. , there is no use in opening up the scars of the past.

"Let me know when we are going to leave, and pay more attention to safety on the way."

Zhao Huan asked. He thought for a while and then said: "Bring more money. Don't be afraid of spending on the way. You won't save money when you go out."

"Got it."

Mu Chenxing Hearing what Zhao Huan said, he smiled and said: "I will set off tomorrow and take a few more people there. Then I will go and see the students who are rushing for the exam. If I can make it all the way back, I will come back with them."

"Okay, I will help if I can . " Don't worry about money."

Zhao Huan said with a smile. When he saw Mu Chenxing stand up, he also stood up, "You can still make more money after spending it. If something happens to someone, it's hard to come back." "It's clear which one is more important,

the boss and Chen ." "Xing is a good match."

Mu Chenxing teased them and sighed sincerely: "They are all the same kind-hearted and don't care about gains and losses." There are

Chapter 94

"What do you think of my outfit?"

Mu Chenxi stood in front of the full-length mirror, looking around from front to back, left, and right, and finally looked at Zhao Huan, "Daughter-in-law, do I look good?"

"I look good."

Zhao Huan went over and pinched it . He nodded and smiled: "Why do you want to be so good-looking? It's not like you are engaged."

"I'm your uncle, so of course I have to take care of myself."

Mu Chenxi hugged Zhao Huan happily, "Daughter-in-law, we don't have any We're engaged." "

Huh."

Zhao Huan rolled his eyes and nodded, "If you still want to do it again, who will help you?"

"That's right, we're not married yet."

He held his chin and said, "Why didn't anyone mention it? I'm really wronging my wife!"

"I'm not wronged, and I don't want it either."

Zhao Huan pushed him away and went to get the gift prepared on the table. He really doesn't want this. What's the use of going through that process? Is it to remind himself that he is destined to have no relatives no matter where he is?

"Zhang Cheng has a long face, and he actually passed thirty-five in the exam."

Zhao Huan said with a smile. He looked at Mu Chenxi who was thinking deeply, "What are you thinking about? I really don't want it. Other people have both parents, but I He is alone, and getting married will also cause trouble for him. "

Oh."

Mu Chenxi looked at Zhao Huan's face carefully and saw that he really didn't care and didn't want to have a wedding ceremony. "If you want, we can make it happen. It's not difficult." "

I know."

Zhao Huan was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, forget about the unsatisfactory wedding. We didn't have a wedding, but we were happier than anyone else." " Okay

."

Nodding, he was afraid that Zhao Huan had some ideas and the parents' matter could not be solved. Even in Rongdu, it is estimated that Zhao Huan would not want Mrs. Hou to take the lead.

He helped Zhao Huan move things into the car and said as he walked: "Zhang Cheng is too impatient. If he waits until next year, his grades will be better. I guess he wants to go to Rongdu with us to take the scientific examination, so he is working so hard."

"Time flies so fast, and it will be another exam in more than a year."

Zhao Huan sighed at the time, and unknowingly it has been more than a year in ancient times.

Fortunately, he found someone who could accompany him, care for him and love him. The regrets in his previous life made up for a lot.

As for his parents, he didn't think about it at all. If he didn't have that fate, there was no need to force it. Being able to come and go freely is another kind of enjoyment.

"What are you thinking about?"

Mu Chenxi looked at him sitting in the car in a daze, and asked softly in his ear.

"I think I'm very lucky."

Zhao Huan smiled gently and said: "If there is always a regretful side, I would rather be like this now. I feel very happy."

"Well, me too."

Mu Chenxi smiled, as if unintentionally He said: "What happened before is irreversible. If you don't have it, you can't get it, so don't let it go."

"Of course."

Zhao Huan understood that he was comforting himself, and raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I already have what I want. I don't have the energy to waste on impossible things. There is always a time

in life, but there is no time in life. I just need to hold on to what I have and work hard to get what I can get

. By that time, the Mu family had been decorated and filled with joy both inside and outside.

"Back."

There were many people sitting in the yard, all relatives of the Mu family. Seeing them come over to say hello when they came back, Zhao Huan smiled and returned the greetings one by one. After a while, he felt that his cheeks were a little stiff.

There are too many relatives in the Mu family, and there are twenty or thirty people in the family. There are three brothers in total, Father Mu, and now the whole yard is occupied.

But people were still coming in one after another, including Mu's mother's natal family and even the married daughters of Mu's brothers.

This is normal, but even Mu Chenhui and Mu Chenchu's daughter-in-law's natal family came. Zhao Huan frowned and was a little confused. Is this an ancient custom?

But he thought about it and let it go. He had never been exposed to these in modern times, and his eyesight was dark here. Just as he was thinking about it, Mu Chenxi came over and took his hand, "Daughter-in-law, I'm a little tired. Let's go and rest for a while. Okay?" "?"

Zhao Huan was startled and then realized that before he could speak, a relative next to him said, "If you are tired, go and rest for a while. I will call you when someone comes."

These people are very friendly, everyone. They all advised them to go inside, "Then we'll go in, excuse me." Mu Chenxi said to those relatives with a smile.

After returning to their own room, Zhao Huan turned to look at Mu Chenxi, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just don't want you to be too tired."

Mu Chenxi smiled and pushed Zhao Huan to sit down, "No one cares about my wife. , I feel bad. No one cares about you, I care about you."

Zhao

Huan just smiled and nodded without asking anything else. He didn't want to be too sensitive now. Since Mu Chenxi had taken over the matter, she left it to him.

Mu Chenxi looked at Zhao Huan, her heart and eyes filled with distress. He had never thought about this before. He just wanted to be good to him, but he didn't know that he lacked family affection.

Just now he saw a large courtyard filled with his relatives. Only Zhao Huan was alone. No one but himself could be by his side at any time.

I will care for him wholeheartedly and always keep him in mind. He knew that Zhao Huan was having a hard time in the Hou Mansion, but he didn't know what was wrong. When he heard that he didn't want to make up for the wedding ceremony, Mu Chenxi's heart felt like it had sunk to the bottom of the valley.

He knows best how Zhao Huan treats him. He can say that he won't get married, and he has no expectations at all, which shows how little he cares about family ties in his heart.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhao Huan touched Mu Chenxi's ear and said with a smile: "You are so absorbed in it that I looked at you several times and you didn't even notice."

"I was thinking about how to treat you well."

Mu Chenxi looked solemn and his eyes were filled with joy . It was tenderness, "Whatever you need or like, I'll give it to you."

"Yeah."

Zhao Huan felt that Mu Chenxi was acting weird today, something that had been wrong since morning. He frowned slightly and thought about it, and understood what Mu Chenxi might care about, "If you want to make up for the ceremony, then we can get married without any trouble."

"No."

Mu Chenxi moved to Zhao Huan's side and said: "I was thinking that all the people in our yard are my relatives, and you are alone. There is no one close to you except me."

He held Zhao Huan's hand tightly, "When I thought that I would not When you are at home, you are guarding a large empty yard, and the pain in your heart is unbearable. How can I treat you so that you will not feel the regret of not having a family member? "

"You"

Zhao Huan didn't expect this? The problem is, he can't say that he is an orphan and has no idea who his father and mother were in his previous life.

But in this life, the original biological mother passed away early, and the biological father was not at home all year round. He was considered a half-orphan, and both of them lacked family affection.

"It's enough for me to have you."

Zhao Huan was silent for a long time, thinking that there was no one in his previous life that he could miss, let alone care about. Not to mention in this life, I have never cared about anyone except Mu Chenxi.

He thought that if he died young again, he would probably not be able to let go of Mu Chenxi. He was the only person he cared about and couldn't let go of.

"Yes, I want you."

Zhao Huan said one word at a time. Seeing Mu Chenxi looking at him intently, he couldn't help but smile. "Just give me you. I don't need anything else."

"Okay. "

Mu Chenxi saw that he was so sure that no one could question it, and said firmly: "I will give it all to you. The day I meet you, it will only belong to you. And I only want you, and there will only be two of us in our family.

"Hmm." Zhao Huan

looked outside, "Should we go out? It won't look good in the house

," he said.

There is no need to move forward. No one will disturb us if we stay in the house."

"By the way, is the engagement scene so big?"

Zhao Huan didn't understand and wanted to ask them about the customs here. "Tell me about it, I'm still here. I don't know about this."

"I don't know either."

Mu Chenxi couldn't laugh or cry. He thought carefully about the elder sister's time. "It seems that the female family members only gave the elder sister some hair flowers, red ropes, or handkerchiefs.

"Oh." Zhao

Huan was also a little amused by his question. If others could understand this, Mu Chenxi would not be called dull by his family.

"We have enough things."

Mu Chenxi thought of what Zhao Huan bought and said with a smile: "How can there be such a heavy gift? Even makeup when getting married."

"I just thought that Xinyue was with us, so She's like a housekeeper, always helping us with everything, and always thinking about saving money for us."

Zhao Huan thought of Mu Xinyue, and she felt sorry for whoever was spending money, and she always tried to persuade her to save some money, but she felt sad in her heart. Funny and touching, "It's not that I don't have money, I'm generous to others, and my family is devoted to us, why can't I give more?"

"You have the final say in our family, and my daughter-in-law is the head of the family."

Mu Chenxi said with a smile, that is Zhao Huan didn't give anything, and he wouldn't say anything. He knew how Zhao Huan treated his family.

"Third uncle, people are here."

Mu Jingxing ran in and said, "My father asked you to tell you that people are here. Do you want to go out now?"

"Of course."

Mu Chenxi and Zhao Huan got up and came to the yard. Zhang Cheng and others have already come in and are preparing to sing the betrothal gift.

They stood together to listen to the betrothal gift, which included ten taels of silver, a silver hairpin, a pair of silver rings, and a pair of silver bracelets. The others were cloth and some specific gifts. Zhao Huan only looked at the pair of big white geese that looked very energetic.

"Daughter-in-law, why are you laughing?"

Mu Chenxi saw that he was happy and said, "There are too many preparations, more than double the number of people hired by other families."

"This is all the money their family makes!"

Zhao Huan probably knows how much Zhang Cheng's family has. They all made money in Muyixuan. When he saw it, he gave everything he had and took out everything the family earned.

"Brother Zhang is so sincere."

Mu Chenxi is so smart that he naturally knows why the Zhang family is so willing. He remembers their friendship and repaid it to his sister.

"Yes."

Zhao Huan nodded, and they all understood what he meant. "It's not easy to marry a daughter-in-law. Life is not so rich, and almost every family has a hard time."

Next, the relatives of the Mu family were hanging out gifts. Some female relatives came forward. Zhao Huan and the others had no female relatives. Mu Chenxi directly took the things in Zhao Huan's hands and stepped forward to line up.

Zhao Huan was even more moved when he saw him acting like this. A man lined up behind his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, who stood out among a group of female relatives.

Seeing him like this, the relatives of the Mu family covered their lips and chuckled. Mu Chenxi didn't think anything of it, and instead chatted affectionately with the elder female relatives.

Zhao Huan watched the various congratulatory gifts being hung out. Sister-in-law Mu Chenxi gave her a pair of silk flowers, and her second sister-in-law gave her two exquisite handkerchiefs. They seemed to have been bought in the town, so they should have cost a lot.

Mu Chenxi should be next in line. When he saw his eldest sister behind him, he gave way and said, "Sister, you come first. I'm not in a hurry."

"I'm not in a hurry either. Let's come together."

Mu Xinyi said with a smile, she came up Present a pair of silver bracelets, two square handkerchiefs, a pair of silk flowers, and a piece of brightly colored silk.

"Little sister, let me make you some clothes."

Mu Xinyi handed those things directly to Mu Xinyue's hands and said with a smile: "Time flies so fast, little sister will get married in a blink of an eye."

"Thank you, eldest sister."

Mu Xinyue blushed with embarrassment, took the things and thanked him. When he saw Mu Chenxi standing aside, he immediately became energetic. He didn't care about being shy and said: "Third brother, your brother-in-law must have bought your gift. Why are you holding it in your hand?" "Where?"

Mu Chenxi smiled and winked at her, and said, "It's because he bought it, so I should send it to you, otherwise others will say I don't do my best!"

"Haha" the female family member next to him heard this. He couldn't help but laugh: "You were waiting for something ready, and you came here to act like a good boy, covering up the real hero."

"I'm smart."

Mu Chenxi didn't care at all, knowing that they were all joking, "I My daughter-in-law buys it and I deliver it to her. This is called husband-to-wife behavior.

"Hahaha."

Mu Chenxi's words made the women laugh.

When Zhao Huan saw him like this, the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger, and he thought to himself: Mu Chenxi has this ability. He can do things that others think are impossible or shouldn't be done, and he is still very confident. I don't feel like there's anything wrong with me.

At this time, two brothers, Mu Chenhui and Mu Chenchu, also came over, took out a small box from their arms, and said with a smile: "We also prepared a gift for my sister."

"Yeah"

Zhao Huan saw Liu and Mrs. Wang looked at her man in surprise, and her expression told no one she knew what was going on.

Mu Chenhui and his brothers also put a piece of silver jewelry in the box. They sighed: "Fortunately, our family is rich now, so we can send my little sister to marry in glory."

"That's right, we only have a sister who is sensible and attracts people. Naturally Give them more."

Mu Chenxi happily handed over what they were doing, "Don't let me hold them, these two pieces of cloth are very heavy."

The relatives around them were shocked by the generosity of the Mu brothers . Come on, this is too much.

Especially the gift from Mu Chenxi, a set of exquisite silver-headed noodles, which is worth a lot at first glance. There are also two pieces of fine silk cloth, which is really eye-catching.

But no matter what, this is the Mu family's own business. They and their relatives can only be happy and won't say anything else.

Zhao Huan looked at the Mu family's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, and muttered in her heart not to make a fuss. In addition to these relatives, there are also people hired by subordinates!

Chapter 95

"Third brother is really generous."

Ms. Liu looked at the things Mu Chenxi had given her, with a look of shame on her face, "Our family is having a hard time, and we want to give more, but we are powerless."

"Yes, we can buy whatever we want . Not willing to give up ."

Mrs. Wang also said, she looked at Mu Chenxi with a smile, "The third brother is really different from what he used to be. He didn't need the love and pampering of the two brothers back then. I have to leave something to you."

Sending you off depends on your heart."

Mu Chenxi didn't accept the words and just said with a smile.

He looked at the silk flowers and handkerchiefs they gave, "Sister-in-law, you are also thoughtful. Even if you make the silk flowers yourself in the town and buy them, no one will find it objectionable. It's all true." He

looked at the people around him and pointed out Looking at the things in their hands, "Look at these gifts, they are much better than before. Now that life is easier, I want to give more."

"Little sister! You are so lucky."

Mu Chenxi looked at Mu Xin Yue smiled and said: "Sister, at that time, because the family was having a hard time, she didn't give anything as a gift. However, you can't compare with each other at this moment. It depends on everyone's ability."

"Just like the eldest brother and the others now, how many taels do they earn a month? Money."

Mu Chenxi patted her elder brother on the shoulder, the smile on her face unchanged, "I will buy you a silver hairpin right away. We will not exceed our ability, not make a fool of ourselves, and still have our own hearts. "This is what

we, as brothers, should do."

Although Mu Chenhui is honest, he is very sensible. He looked at his younger brother, "Even Chen Xi, who is capable, should help." Family members, relatives, and even strangers are willing to help selflessly. How can we brothers be left behind, not even willing to give good gifts to our sister for such a big event as her engagement?"

"That's right, we really don't have any . I don't think you brothers can make so much money in a month!"

"Yes, I didn't even have to give it away when I was in trouble, but now I can give it to you as soon as possible."

Although the eyes of those relatives were subtle, the smiles on their faces remained unchanged. They are all words of praise. We are all members of the Mu family, so we can't be embarrassed in front of the people we hire.

Dad Mu came over at this time, looked at Mu Chenxi and the others, and said to the relatives: "My greatest pride in my life is that I have given birth to several good children. The family is harmonious and helps each other, and no one is picking on or rejecting them."

He said this Once the situation was settled, everyone immediately agreed, and they all agreed to turn this delicate atmosphere into a family of brothers and sisters loving each other, and the scene suddenly became lively again.

Zhao Huan looked at all this, smiled silently, stopped paying attention to this aspect, and went to Zhang Cheng and the others to congratulate him in person.

.........

"Where did you get the money to buy the hairpin?"

Mrs. Liu's face was ugly, and it could be seen at a glance that she had been holding back for a long time. As soon as those guests left, she couldn't wait to chase Mu Chenhui and ask.

"I earned it from carving ornaments."

Mu Chenhui looked at her and said calmly.

"Then why didn't you give it to me?"

Ms. Liu was very angry. Mu Chenhui actually dared to keep the money and buy a hairpin for her sister. She really had no place to spend the money, and she was not willing to buy it herself.

"I'm not giving you three taels of wages a month. How much more do you want?"

Mu Chenhui sat there and said with a faint smile: "You don't have the final say in this family alone. I'll leave the wages to you." , because you are my wife, and because I am afraid that if I am not at home, you and the children will have no money if you need anything."

"But look, how do you manage this family?"

Mu Chenhui's eyes were full of disappointment. , "I can understand that you are not willing to spend money to be diligent and frugal in running the house. I am also glad that you can think about your family. But how do you raise your children? In addition to feeding them, what else do you give them?"

"Who Isn't it like this at home? Is it like your brother's family where you can eat as much fish and meat as you want?"

Ms. Liu sneered, looked at Mu Chenhui and mocked: "Do you have the ability? You just got a few taels of silver and you just wanted to eat and drink like that."

"Before, I earn four to five hundred cents a month, and my mother didn't let us have food for the whole month. You don't think I earn too little, and you said that all the money you earn is given to the public."

Mu Chenhui . He said it word by word, "It's too little now. Are you comparing yourself to the third brother and the others? But I just don't have the ability. I just point at my brother to eat. He doesn't dislike me. Why do you dislike this family?" Do you have the money you earn? Do you have any room to make the decision? "

"I am relying on you and not arguing with you because I want to save the face of my children and my parents. I don't want to bring peace to the family."

"Look . Look at how much other people's men earn in a month, and then look at other people's children. No matter how poor your family is, no matter how poor your family is, who is trying to make their children eat better? "

Chenxi almost raises Jingxing, how can you still He says he eats and drinks so much that he can't make a living. Did he use any of your money? Every time he and his brother-in-law bring something back to their parents, they buy some sweets and cakes. I'm not blind, so they are all for the children. "

When Mu Chenhui said this, he suddenly felt very tired and didn't want to talk to her anymore. He stood up and said, "I finished my lunch and didn't want to rest at all. I just wanted to make more money to buy some food for my children.

" You don't have to worry about these things. I'll still give you the wages. You can do whatever you want. I won't take a penny."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Mrs. Liu stood up and stopped Mu . In front of Chenhui, "How much silver do you have left, please hand it over to me. Also, why didn't you tell me about buying a hairpin for your sister? I am the housekeeper and everything is decided by me."

"How much silver do you have ? , I earned it all by myself, can't I even spend the money I earned? Why should I give it to you? Can you give me a penny?"

Mu Chenhui felt even more powerless when he saw her standing in front of him. What's more, he looked at Mrs. Liu coldly, "I am the head of the family. I give you the money and let you take charge of the house. That is because I respect you. If you don't want this respect, you won't get a penny in the future.

"You dare, this is not your home alone, why can't I take care of it?" Mrs.

Liu became very excited when she heard that he didn't pay the money, and her voice got louder and louder, "You buy a hairpin for your sister? Why don't you tell me that you still regard me as your family member? This is your respect."

"Tell you."

Mu Chenhui laughed angrily at her. He didn't even know how to reason with Liu now, "I'll give it to you. I bought a hairpin and you scolded me for two months, saying I couldn't live my life. If you buy a hairpin for my sister, will you scold me for a year?

"You know that I don't agree, but you still buy it without telling me. You are looking for blame on yourself. "

Ms. Liu was reluctant and had a very tough attitude, "Do you think it's okay to hide it from me? " Let me tell you, don't expect me to pay a penny when she gets married. That hairpin will be used as wedding makeup.

"Why do I have to agree that that's the money I earned? That's my sister. " In order not to quarrel with you, why don't I think of ways to make money on my own and be troubled? "

Mu Chenhui pushed her away with one hand, "Since I give you face but you don't want it, then don't blame me for not paying attention to you. Don't expect me to give you a penny in the future. In addition, if you dare to make trouble at home, go back to your parents' home." Well, you choose the same as divorce or divorce. This is the last dignity I will give you. "

...

At the same time, Mu Chenchu ​​had almost the same scene in the room. Facing Wang's questioning, he just didn't want to. A caring smile.

"If you want to ask me, then let me ask you something first."

Mu Chenchu ​​was much better at talking than his elder brother, and he would not give him face if he should. "You said at that time that your third brother was loved and doted on by us. That's a bit You should also give him good things, right?"

"Isn't it difficult?"

Wang looked at him and her heart was boiling. She didn't care about Mu Chenchu's usual behavior, "You all treat your brother like a treasure, but now he is rich. He actually came to slap you in the face. What does he mean by sending so many gifts?"

"What I mean is, I don't need to tell you."

Mu Chenchu ​​smiled and told Mr. Wang, "You are right, we are good to our third brother. Love him and pamper him. But you have to think clearly that it is us who are good to him, not you, my sister-in-law. You have no right to make irresponsible remarks in front of him. "

"And don't say that we give away everything. Brother, I've kept you at home, and I won't be afraid of you trying to reason with me."

Mu Chenchu ​​didn't mean to be angry at all, with a smile on his face. He looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "You and Mrs. Liu used to have bad opinions. Fourth, I deliberately let him hear it, but I saw it with my own eyes. The reason why I didn't say it was because I didn't want to make these things public and cause disharmony in the family, which would only offend my third brother. I know he thought the same way. "

Also, don't send your children to your mother anymore. Take care of your children. When the time comes, cook the food. Don't just leave the children there. I'll give you the money so that there won't be no rice at home." Get off the pot."

When Wang heard these words, she was stunned on the spot. She didn't expect that Mu Chenchu ​​knew all this and didn't even show any strange expression.

Even though he was not at home all day, he knew everything about his family. Her little thoughts were completely under his control, and she didn't know what to say now.

"Think carefully!"

Mu Chenchu ​​patted her shoulder. Unexpectedly, now that life has improved, Mrs. Wang is still the same as before, "Although you have not enjoyed happiness in the Mu family, no one has ever given you a look. You are just a little petty. Otherwise, I just choose to be tolerant for the sake of family harmony."

After saying this, he was about to go out. As soon as he reached the door, he turned back and said, "Although my mother is strong, she often punishes you for doing things, but they are all household chores. She never beat or scolded her or didn't give her food, as she was afraid that you might complain about her third brother. She didn't let you pay a penny for your own embroidery, so she kept it all to yourself. In our family, people should be content. If you are really dissatisfied, you can find another family, and I won't stop them."

...

Brothers Mu Chenhui and Mu Chenchu ​​handle their own household affairs, Mu Dad and Mu Chenxi. None of them came forward.

When your family is separated, you must have the awareness to separate your family. Live your own life without having to think about, interfere with, or interfere with other people's family affairs, not even your brothers.

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi drove home and asked Zhao Huan: "Brother, they are making so much more than before. Why are they even more unhappy?"

"Because there are people who are living a better life than them."

Zhao Huan laughed. Laughing, these things can be said to be clear at a glance, "Don't you understand?"

"Oh."

Mu Chenxi did not look at Zhao Huan. Of course he knew it, but he was just afraid that Zhao Huan had some thoughts in his heart and would be unhappy because of it, "That's not the case. The solution is that my wife can make money. Whoever is angry will make the money. " Aren't you worried about your elder brother and the others? What will you do if you get into a fight or lose your temper and go back to your parents

' house?"

Huan looked at him funny, but she didn't expect that he didn't care at all, "You didn't even think about trying to persuade me. You just put the car on as soon as the guests left, without even a moment's delay."

"Are you staying to listen to the quarrel? "

Mu Chenxi looked at Zhao Huan with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand anything, "They will quarrel when we are here. Brother, how ugly their faces are, let's save some face for them."

"We will be fine in the future ! We won't come back. If we wait for Rongdu, it will be far away. The mountains are high and the water is far away. I don't believe they will chase us."

Mu Chenxi said with a sly smile: "Wait until they find us. After all the family property has been given away, there will be no worries at all, and they will no longer think about causing trouble, and they can live an honest life!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Huan sighed, "What can make them feel at ease is that we have nothing. , stay far away, and everyone will stop!"

Chapter 96

A year and a half later, Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi stood on the bow of the boat. They were going to Rongdu to take the exam.

Looking at the Mu Chenhui brothers, Mu Chenxing and Mrs. Niu on the shore, Zhao Huan felt mixed emotions. They would not come back easily after leaving.

Mu Chenxi and she have arranged everything properly and handed over all the property. It can be said that it won't have much to do in the future.

Through Wang Qingquan's relationship, they obtained a piece of land from the county magistrate and built a school and a charity hall near the town, which are like modern nursing homes and hope primary schools.

As long as they are determined to be from poor households, they can enroll for free, and books and accommodation are also free. Students only need to be responsible for pen, ink, paper, inkstones and food.

Their family members can also earn money by working in Muyixuan or Wenxinfang to support their families and support their students. Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi can be said to have made every possible arrangement.

As long as the family wants to provide for their children to study, and as long as the students are willing to work hard and make progress, they will be good in the future, and there will not be the problem of poor students having difficulty in studying.

Jishantang takes in some lonely elderly people and some homeless children. Naturally, children from broken families and some elderly people whose children and grandchildren cannot support them can also move in.

But they will not be left to eat for nothing, they will be given work arrangements to strive for self-sufficiency. Except for some old people who have lost their labor force, or those over sixty years old who do not need to work, others cannot get something for nothing.

The treatment for weak children is different. They can go to school until they are old enough, and Jishantang will be responsible for all the expenses, but they will sign an agreement and have to pay it back when they grow up and are capable.

If there are those who are unwilling to study, arrange to be apprentices or do something within their capabilities. They do not support idlers or people who are not motivated, unless there are some special circumstances listed by Zhao Huan.

It can now be said that Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi have opened up a different advanced concept around them.

As long as there are practical difficulties, Jishantang and Muyixuan can help solve them, but the rules are strict and no one will take advantage of them.

They have also made arrangements for Mu Chenxi's family. It can be said that they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. It cannot be said that they will be rich and powerful, but they can still be rich for a lifetime.

Mu Chenxing was promoted to the head shopkeeper, taking charge of all industries. Mu Chenhui is in charge of the school and Jishantang, while Mu Chenchu ​​is in charge of Muyixuan.

Mu Xinyi joined Wenxinfang to manage the knitting area, and her eldest brother-in-law assisted in managing the study room. Now there are four study rooms in the surrounding area, and he assists Mu Yunhe in managing them.

Mu Xinyue manages the Wood Art Xuan Apprentice Workshop. Although Zhang Cheng has passed the imperial examination in the golden autumn, he is still not ready for the examination and will come to Rongdu in three years.

Zhao Huan couldn't help but smile when he thought that he and Mu Chenxi had secretly built the Jishan Hall and the School. When enrollment was about to begin in August, many people were frightened.

No one would have thought that they would give up such a huge industry and use it to help those who have nothing to do with it. They all looked unbelievable.

The only thing that pleased Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi was that when they announced it, Mu Dad, Mu Chenhui, and Mu Chenchu ​​were the first to stand up and support them.

And when Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi divided Mu Yixuan's profits among themselves, they expressed firm opposition. I have given them the job of stewarding and taught them carving skills, which is enough for them to use for a lifetime.

It was Mu Chenxi who refused to let them sign the strata contract, and Zhao Huan explained that after taking the strata contract, he could better help them manage it.

From now on, they are also the owners, with the right to speak to the outside world and absolute decision-making power to the subordinates. In terms of operation and management, no one can easily overturn their decisions.

Especially after a hundred years, future generations can continue to control and supervise each other so that these industries will not be ruined.

They accepted it willingly and agreed to keep it secret and not publicize it to avoid causing a lot of speculation and unnecessary trouble.

There was also a verbal agreement between Mu Chenxing and the village and tribe to give them the stratification of Wenxinfang. Now Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi left and signed the written document directly, and there have been no mistakes since then.

It can be said that Zhao Huan, Mu Chenxi and the others are now free from anything, and they will no longer be in trouble. Leave your hometown and have to return in the future, unless the old people have something big to do or want to return to their roots.

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi looked at the shore getting further and further away. Her relatives on the shore were no longer visible. "Let's go into the cabin. The wind is getting stronger and stronger. Don't freeze."

"Okay, let's go in."

Zhao Huanxiao He smiled, turned around and walked towards the cabin with him, "In the future, if we want to come back, we don't know how many years later."

"You can come back if you want, there is no need to think so much."

Mu Chenxi said with a smile, he looked at Zhao Huan, "What's wrong? You haven't left before you leave?"

"No, just after staying for so long and getting to know so many people, parting is always a little sad."

When Zhao Huan said this, Mu Chenxi felt a little strange. Attitude, "Don't you want to go home? Even if you want to come back in the future, you have to see if we have time. We can't be so casual."

"Haha."

Mu Chenxi chuckled, looked at Zhao Huan and said, "You! You just think too much. . If there is anything we can't let go of, and if we don't have time, we can let go of these industries. It's just a matter of taking the Jinshi exam and getting a part-time job. Of course, you don't want it. There's no such thing as a last resort."

"Forget it, forget it . No, I can't say anything about you."

Zhao Huan shook his head. Mu Chenxi was becoming more and more relaxed, as if there was nothing he couldn't let go of. "Being able to do whatever you want is also a great blessing in life."

"Except for my wife. "Son, I haven't realized that I have something we can't let go of!"

Mu Chenxi also didn't understand her own mentality. The ideals she once attached to her heart have all disappeared. "Perhaps, I have found what is most precious to me. "Nothing matters anymore."

"Yeah."

Zhao Huan responded softly. He felt that Mu Chenxi's words were right. Just as he valued money so much and had such an indifferent attitude towards others, he could still be influenced by Mu Chenxi. , I did a lot of things I thought I wouldn't do.

He thought to himself: The things they did were a blessing for himself and Mu Chenxi, and a way to thank fate for allowing him to live another life, and to get the most precious person to him that he had never expected.

"Brother Mu."

As soon as they entered the cabin, they met Liu Wenqing. He said happily: "We have made tea. Come and have a drink to warm yourself up."

Mu Chenxi turned to look at Zhao Huan, who smiled and said: "I Go back and tidy up first. You can go over first."

"Okay."

Mu Chenxi nodded and went to their place to drink tea.

Zhao Huan turned around and went back to pack his things. They would have to wear them for more than half a month and there were a lot of belongings.

This time, Liu Wenqing, Wang Qingquan and Li Shaojie were with them for the Shangrong Metropolitan Examination. In the Jinqiu Provincial Examination, they all obtained the title of Juren. Although they were not sure about the general examination, they still wanted to give it a try.

The masters also agree that they are all outstanding academically and still have a good chance of passing the exam. It's just that exams are like life, sometimes you still need opportunities and it depends on your luck.

Now Yuanyang Academy can be said to be truly famous. In the past, it relied on the reputation of a few great scholars, but now it is based on real achievements.

Those students who dropped out of school were just as Mu Chenxi guessed. No one dared to say whether the academy and the master were right or wrong in public, but it was widely circulated in private.

So much so that in the past two years, Yuanyang Academy has only recruited a few dozen students, and none of the children from wealthy families from other places have come.

There are more than 70 students from the four classes of the Juyuan Academy, as well as some new middle school talents who have been promoted from the Children's Academy. This year, more than 50 people took part in the provincial examination and won 45, accounting for most of the admission places. , this is a battle to fame.

There is no need to explain why those students dropped out of school. In September, a large number of students came from all over the country and rushed to enter the academy to seek guidance from the masters.

Now it can be said that the people and things around Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi are developing smoothly and are thriving.

.........

In November, Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi boarded the ship and took the last flight to Rongdu. After more than half a month, they finally disembarked at Rongdu Pier.

"Brother Liu."

Mu Chenxi saw that Wang Qingquan and Li Shaojie were coming to pick them up, so he invited: "We have found a place in advance. You can come with us and take care of each other."

"No need."

Liu Wenqing said gratefully . He smiled and said: "Brother Wang and the others invited me to come with them, so I won't bother you. Brother Wang originally wanted to invite you two, and we would live together to prepare for the exam. I heard that you had already found a place in advance, so I had to give up." "

He originally planned to go with Mu Chenxi and the others, but when Wang Qingquan invited him, he thought it would be better not to disturb the couple, so he agreed to Wang Qingquan in advance.

"Okay then."

Mu Chenxi understood what he meant and told him her address. "We can come over some other time if we have time. If you want to come over and prepare for the exam together, the two of us can greet him on the couch."

"Yes."

Zhao Huan He also said on the side that he, like Mu Chenxi, had a very good impression of Liu Wenqing, "If Brother Liu can come, we will strongly welcome him. Now that he is in a foreign land, if anything happens, please don't be polite, just let us know."

" I know this, don't worry, I will know how to handle it."

Liu Wenqing was very touched. The couple was leaving a way out for him. After all, he was going to Wang Qingquan's family. If he felt it was not suitable there, he could go to Mu Chenxi and the others.

He simply didn't want to disturb the couple, and he didn't want to cling to anyone. Although he has a good relationship with Wang Qingquan and Li Shaojie, he is still closer to Mu Chenxi and the others in his heart.

At this time, Wang Qingquan and Li Shaojie came over, "Brother Mu, it's a pity that we can't be together."

Wang Qingquan has a straightforward temper, and Mu Chenxi also likes him as a friend. When he heard what he said, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's a pity that we can't be together." We're not far away, so we can get together at any time."

"Oh!"

Wang Qingquan sighed, still feeling regretful that he couldn't live with them. "Then we can wait until we are all settled before we visit."

"Okay."

Mu Chenxi raised his hand to salute and said with a smile: "Let's say goodbye now and welcome you all to come another day." Mu Chenxi raised his hand to salute

"Okay." "Okay, see you another day." Wang

Qingquan and the others also said goodbye, got on the carriage sent by the Wang family, and went to stay at Wang Qingquan's uncle's house. Mu Chenxi and Zhao Huan are also going to the place where they live, which is Jiang Haohai and Amber's place. They will always live there when they are in Rongdu.

Chapter 97

"You two, please stay."

An old man in his fifties suddenly stopped Zhao Huan and the others, "Excuse me, who are Mu Ju and Mr. Zhao?"

"Who are you?"

Zhao Huan looked at him suspiciously, looking at the old man's upright face. It's just that his sharp eyes show that he is a smart and capable person.

"This old slave is the housekeeper of the An family. It was the master who sent me a message and a portrait, asking him to come and take you two back."

The old man recognized the right person at first sight. In this winter, everything was wrapped tightly and it was really difficult to recognize each other. "My God "Leng, why don't we get in the car and go back home first?"

"Okay, I'd like to thank the housekeeper for the hard trip,"

Zhao Huan said with a gentle smile after hearing him introduce herself.

"My surname is Wang, and I call him Butler Wang."

Butler Wang waved, and two carriages came over. He said to the driver: "Load the two young masters' things into the carriage."

After giving the instructions, he said to Zhao Huan and the others. He made a gesture of invitation and said with a kind smile: "Please get in the car, two young masters. The house has prepared hot water and food."

"Butler Wang, there is no need to be so polite. Just call us by our names."

Zhao Huan was not used to him. He is a young master, but he is just an ordinary citizen and cannot deserve the title of a young man from a high-ranking family.

"The etiquette cannot be abolished."

Although Butler Wang said this, his respectful attitude suddenly changed into a friendly and casual attitude, "The masters have ordered that from now on, the old slave will serve the two young masters. This mansion is your home."

Zhao Huanjian He insisted on the title, but his attitude became closer to them, and he said no more, saying "Thank you," and waited for Mu Chenxi to get into the carriage.

Zhao Huan was shocked as soon as he entered. What looked like an ordinary carriage was actually extremely luxurious inside, with several luminous pearls inlaid on the carriage shed.

In this originally dark carriage, layers of soft white light poured down. The soft seat was covered with a white tiger skin, and the teapot on the small table was covered with treasures.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

After simply looking at these things, Zhao Huan couldn't help but said to Mu Chenxi: "Your teacher's family is really rich, and a carriage is decorated like this."

"It's good."

Mu Chenxi was not surprised . , just touched the pearl on the carriage very fondly, and said with a smile: "You said if I took it off and mounted it in our room, would the teacher say that I was a prodigal?"

"Setting is not the same, how can you say that? You're a prodigal."

Zhao Huan didn't care. He knew how much Jiang Haohai and Amber loved Mu Chenxi. "Even if you kidnap me, Amber and the others won't talk about you."

"That's true."

Mu Chenxi . "Smiling, he didn't mean to take it off, "But let's keep it. We'll have to take the car when we go out!"

"Yeah"

Zhao Huan also knew that he was joking, "Then keep it and put it in the house. It's useless if you don't put it away. If you want to sleep at night, you have to cover it."

They were joking in the car, but when they got to the house, they couldn't help but open their eyes again.

A three-entry house in Nancheng is full of southern buildings with small bridges and flowing water. Everywhere is antique and reveals low-key luxury.

When they moved into the main courtyard under the arrangement of Manager Wang, it was the ultimate in elegance. The furniture is all made of rosewood, and there are rows of treasures on the ancient shelves, all displayed on the open side.

In the short time since Zhao Huan came in, he was no longer amazed, but was just looking at everything with interest. Please forgive him for being a country bumpkin, he has never seen the real thing except in the museum.

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi saw that he liked these things and smiled happily: "If you like it, we will buy some in the future so that you can see it every day."

"Pfft."

Zhao Huan laughed because of his words. , "Do you think you can buy it if you have money? There are many of these that cannot be bought with money, and there is no place to buy them."

"Oh."

Mu Chenxi is even more of a country roe deer. He doesn't know whether antiques are antiques, so he just laughed. Said: "Then let's just look at these. After all, they belong to the teachers and they won't show them to us."

They are saying this now, and they will wait until they take a bath to wash away their fatigue, and then eat delicious food at the table. I no longer sigh about these meals.

Mu Chenxi was very happy to eat, and kept picking up dishes for Zhao Huan, "The teacher's chef's cooking is really delicious, please eat more."

Zhao Huan looked at the many unnamed dishes and couldn't help but murmur in his heart, who said The ancients didn't know how to eat, but there were many delicious ingredients here that he had never seen before.

Looking at these dishes, he had a deep understanding that ancient people paid too much attention to appearance. Every dish must be presented exquisitely, and most of them must be carved, as if they are not classy enough otherwise.

After eating, Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi were sitting and drinking tea. They don't need to do anything here. There are two young boys in their fifteenth or sixteenth year old waiting for their orders outside the door at any time.

Zhao Huan saw that the wind was blowing "whooshing" outside and it was already December. He served them a pot of tea and told them to go down and rest. He would call them again if anything happened.

At this time, Manager Wang came over to ask for a meeting, and the servant came over to report. Zhao Huan asked him to invite people in.

"You two young masters, please have a good rest."

Steward Wang took a box and a letter and handed it to Zhao Huan. "This is what I asked you to give to the young master."

"Oh"

Zhao Huan was a little strange. If there was anything he couldn't do at home. He said that he would ask Butler Wang to deliver it on his behalf. He opened the letter and read it over.

Zhao Huan looked a little dazed for a moment, then he handed the letter to Mu Chenxi to read, and he sat there speechless for a long time.

The letter said that the box contained the property of Jiang Haohai and Amber. There were more than fifty shops in total, as well as more than twenty villages of various sizes, and there were even more houses, which surprised Zhao Huan. In this place where every inch of land is valuable, There are actually more than thirty places, and they are all in the east and south cities, where the powerful gather.

What makes him most helpless and shocked is that now all of this has been transferred to his and Mu Chenxi's names, and will be completely managed by them in the future. This is a huge amount of property!

These were passed on to themselves and Mu Chenxi, and they were also gifts given to them in advance. Mu Chenxi had asked them to stay in Rongdu after high school, and they might come back if there was a chance in the future.

Manager Wang is an old man who follows them and is a trustworthy person. If you have something to do, you can leave it to him. If you have any difficulties, let Mu Chenxi go to his senior brother for help.

After reading the letter, Mu Chenxi saw Zhao Huan's serious face and couldn't help but smile and comfort him: "Teacher and Amber regard us as their own children. If they go back, they will be sad. Let's take care of them first. They are not in Rong now." They are happy to have our help."

"Yes."

Zhao Huan nodded, what else could he do? "Who is taking care of these, is there any problem you need our help with?"

"No. "

Butler Wang had a kind face. The master had already told him about Mu Chenxi and the others, and he regarded them as his own masters. "All the shops and houses were rented out, except this one. Zhuangzi arranged for his own manpower to manage it, except for keeping it for his own use." Yes, all the other products are sold, so there is no need to take care of them. "

"However, some villages have nice scenery. If the two young masters have time, they can go and have fun."

Manager Wang told them some things and said with a smile. Most of our villages are outside the city, and there are several villages with hot springs. It's good for your health to take a bath if you have nothing to do."

Zhao

Huan agreed. After hearing what he said, he really didn't need to do anything on his own. He smiled and said, "Let's go and have a look at some time in a few days."

Seeing that they had accepted it, Butler Wang said a few words and asked someone to notify him if something happened, then he resigned and went out.

Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi looked at each other, feeling helpless. They had just settled their family's property, but now they had wealth that they could never earn in their lifetime.

From then on, they lived here with peace of mind, Mu Chenxi studied with peace of mind, and Zhao Huan went out for a walk when he had nothing to do, wandering around to see Rongdu, which he didn't get a chance to see when he first came here.

But within a few days, Mu Chenxi discovered that Zhao Huan was relatively silent that day, often distracted and not talking. He didn't even know how to pick up the food when eating, and just frowned and picked up the bowl of rice in front of him.

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi called him softly. Seeing that he didn't respond, she took a chopstick of vegetables and put them in a bowl for him. Only then did Zhao Huan look up at him.

"What's wrong with you? You're not happy when you come back from outside today."

Mu Chenxi looked at him with concerned eyes and said softly: "Is something wrong? It's hard to tell me."

Zhao Huan nodded mechanically, He shook his head quickly and said depressedly: "Something happened. I just heard about it outside today. Now it has been spread throughout the streets and alleys. It has been for several days. I don't know what the situation is."

"Can you tell me anything? "Listen."

Mu Chenxi carefully observed Zhao Huan's face and had some guesses in her mind, "It's okay if I can't tell you. I just don't want you to be so worried. Even if I can't help you, I can still accompany you. At least I won't leave you alone." People face. "

Chapter 98

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi gathered Zhao Huan's clothes, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen may be busy and will send someone out soon."

They had been waiting outside the Criminal Department for more than half an hour, but Mrs. Niu Dashao The uncle still didn't send anyone to summon him. Both of them knew that there might be no chance.

"I know that this matter is difficult to handle. I just want to get some information to see if it is like the rumors in the market."

Zhao Huan felt bitter in his heart. Seeing that a thick layer of snow had fallen on Mu Chenxi's body, "Let's go! Let's go with Chen We don't know each other, but the young lady has little respect, so he won't see us."

"Wait a little longer."

Mu Chenxi still wanted to see if Mr. Chen really didn't even meet him, "Maybe he is busy with something. After all, he is the minister of the Ministry of Justice. How can he have such a high official position that he has no time?"

After hearing what he said, Zhao Huan glanced at the Ministry of Justice, but there was no movement at all. Even if he was busy with things, he wanted to send someone to send a message. Neither?

"Let's go, the snow is getting heavier and heavier."

Zhao Huan took Mu Chenxi's hand and did not allow him to object, "We didn't want to ask him to do anything, we just wanted to find out some information. How could anyone help us with such a big matter?

"Ah!" Mu

Chenxi sighed secretly. He didn't know why Zhao Huan was hesitating. He was anxious and calm at other times. "My wife, please slow down and walk slowly."

Zhao Huan had no time to care about this now. He was very confused. , Mr. Zhao got into an accident and was thrown into a sky prison. It was a sky prison! The whole family was imprisoned.

Now he didn't know whether he should blame himself for not listening to Mu Chenxi's advice and go visit first, or whether he should blame himself for not being able to help.

If you can't even get any information, what else can you do? But he knew he couldn't give up. The only obsession left to him by the original owner was to see his father.

But he was able to live a better life on the day he came, and he got back the belongings of the original owner's aunt from the Zhaohou Mansion, and got some benefits. These were all because of Mr. Zhao.

Especially the small box that Mr. Zhao sent to the inn to give him before he left. There was his name card and some banknotes inside, obviously to keep him safe.

Zhao Huan could ignore other people, but Mr. Zhao always wanted to do his best, even if it was just to meet him once or to ask someone to give him something.

"Don't worry."

Mu Chenxi kept comforting him. Let's see again tomorrow. You can't ask for help without looking at other people's faces. "If you don't want to come, I will come by myself. You wait for my news at home."

"No."

Zhao Huan took a deep breath and tried to look calmer, "Those people in the officialdom are all old fools. If there is any trouble, they will immediately hide away. Sometimes even relatives and friends will sit back and ignore us, let alone us. It doesn't matter."

Of course Mu Chenxi understood this. The young lady must have mentioned Zhao Huan's identity in her letter, so he avoided seeing her, but how could he tell Zhao Huan about this.

"It's okay."

He said softly, "We have money. If he doesn't help, we can find someone else. We will go back and ask Uncle Wang later to see if he knows anyone. Teacher, they always have some connections in Rongdu."

"Don't ask."

Zhao Huan hurriedly stopped him. Entering the Heavenly Prison is not a trivial matter. "Don't bring trouble to the teacher and the others. Even if they are related, they just know some literati. How capable can a master be if he commits a crime? It's a big deal, and you might even be implicated."

"What if one of the students taught by the teacher is an official?"

Mu Chenxi patted his hand and reassured Zhao Huan, "You may not be clear about some things. Masters are very capable. Well, especially in Rongdu, a place where dignitaries gather, if you teach a few students, they might be from some aristocratic family."

Zhao Huan didn't want to offend him, but still said with a wry smile: "Aside from you, doesn't your teacher have a disciple? ? If he is a child from an ordinary family, wouldn't it make things difficult for them if you go over to do this? "

How could Zhao Huan not know how capable the ancient master was? But sometimes we can't generalize. After all, Jiang Haohai and the others are too low-key. Talking about things in Rongdu.

If he hadn't seen the house with his own eyes and the various contracts transferred to them, Zhao Huan would not have been able to believe that they were so rich.

But so what if Mr. Zhao really committed something serious or was framed, and asked Uncle Wang to help find someone, what if Jiang Haohai and the others were implicated?

They were so kind to him and Mu Chenxi, so Zhao Huan had to be cautious. His hesitation did not entirely lie in this, but also in the fear that Mu Chenxi would be implicated.

What Zhao Huan is most worried about now is that someone will frame Mr. Zhao. If that happens, he and Mu Chenxi will definitely find ways to deal with them as long as their relationship with Mr. Zhao is known.

The ancient power schemes, including the confiscation of homes and genocide, the persecution of the remaining descendants, and the suppression of relatives and friends all worried Zhao Huan.

"Okay."

Mu Chenxi saw that he was worried and his expression kept changing. He was afraid of causing trouble to the teacher and the others, so he had to compromise: "Then I won't ask Uncle Wang. Let's wait. Don't worry." "

I'm not in a hurry. , What's the use of being anxious."

Zhao Huan held Mu Chenxi's hand tightly, his eyes full of worry for him, but he really couldn't solve it now, it was a dilemma.

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi sat silently for a while, looking at her hand that was so painful from being pinched by Zhao Huan, "Are you worried about me?"

"Well"

Zhao Huan was startled and looked up at Mu Chenxi blankly, " No, don't think too much about it."

"Oh, I understand."

Mu Chenxi is such a smart person. He had already noticed that Zhao Huan was wrong, but he didn't think about it. He just thought that he was in a hurry.

But just now he resolutely stopped using the teacher's relationship to find help, and held his hand tightly. He suddenly knew why!

Mu Chenxi knew Zhao Huan's temper very well. He was gentle on the surface but a little indifferent on the inside. What he did Many things happen because of yourself.

Mu Chenxi understands Darong's law and has been taught by Jiang Haohai and others for so long. He knows much more than Zhao Huan, but he just doesn't say anything.

They returned to the house and met Uncle Wang head-on, "Oh! It's snowing, where are the two young masters? I'm still wondering why you went out."

"It's nothing serious."

Mu Chenxi smiled and looked at him Zhao Huan said: "Just go for a walk and see the snow scenery of Rongdu."

"Hi."

Uncle Wang couldn't help but smile when he heard what he said. If you want to see the scenery, you can go to Zhuangzi. There are many scenery there, which is much better than Rongdu City. He looked at Zhao Huan and asked, "Master Huan doesn't look too good, but he's caught a cold. Come in and have a rest."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang."

Zhao Huan thanked him, but couldn't smile. Chen Xi entered the house.

Butler Wang touched his chin, with a look of contemplation on his face. Young Master Huan was not right today. Could it be that he really went out and got cold?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly called the concierge, "Go and ask a good doctor to come and take a look at Master Huan. Don't let it get really cold in this cold weather."

"Yes, butler, I'll go right away."

The concierge boy agreed. , he was about to go out in the snow, "Wait a minute." As soon as he turned around, Butler Wang stopped him again, "Don't go, I'd better go by myself."

Butler Wang told him to prepare the car and prepare to go out to find it by himself. Doctor, I have given you many orders to take good care of the young masters, and I cannot ignore them any more.

What's more, the two young masters were very lovable. When they heard that they were old men who had always been with the master, they called themselves Uncle Wang. Their attitude was also very close, as if they were family members.

He quickly ran to the palace gate in his car, showed his waistband in his arms, and entered the palace all the way to the harem.

"Madam, Butler Wang is here."

Mammy reported: "He said he has something to ask for."

"Oh, there is something urgent this day. Let him come in quickly."

"Yes." Mammy went out and brought Butler Wang in.

"Old slave, I wish you well."

Butler Wang knelt down and bowed his head, "Your Majesty has always been well."

"Huh."

A dissatisfied voice came from above, "How many times have I told you that you are no longer a slave, why can't you remember it?

"Once you are a slave, you will always be a slave. No matter what time of day, the old slave is a member of the house." Butler

Wang stood up and said that he would not forget about it just because his masters were tolerant. "I have something to ask you today.

" "What else do you need me to do? Is there anything that you can't solve?"

"Master Huan is feeling a little uncomfortable today. I would like to ask an imperial doctor to come and have a look. I also want to check Master Chen Xi's pulse. I will have a test in the next year." " It's a good time to take some nourishment."

"Oh!"

When the empress heard this, she sat up and said, "How about those two children? You should hold them in your hands."

Okay."

Butler Wang said with a smile on his face: "He's good-looking, has a lively temperament, has a sweet mouth, and is kind-hearted. Everyone will like him."

"Oh! It would be great if I could meet them, but it's a pity that I don't want them to be killed. I can only wait until I have the opportunity in the future."

Madam Wang felt a little regretful and said, "Forget it, just send me the imperial doctor. He knows what not to say."

"Thank you, Madam."

Butler Wang was immediately happy after hearing this. The imperial doctor felt that everything was fine there and hurriedly thanked him and left.

"Your Majesty." Mammy handed me a cup of tea.

"Alas! I couldn't help myself as soon as I entered the palace."

The smile on the empress's face turned sad, "There is only one master left in the house, the younger brother, and the servant Wang Butler. Now the younger brother has gone away and does not want to come back again. Butler Wang In order to save the Ai family, he was seriously injured and could no longer have any heirs. Now he is alone in this huge mansion. Fortunately, the two children came over and put a smile on his face again. "

...

Mu Chenxi brought Zhao. Huan helped him get on the bed and comforted him: "You need to rest for a while. I'll go to the kitchen and make some soup."

"Yes."

Zhao Huan lay down, looked at Mu Chenxi and said, "I'll sleep for a while, and you can go have a bowl of ginger." "Cha, don't bother with my business."

"I know. If you're tired, just take a nap."

Mu Chenxi tucked him in, watching his sleep gradually become longer, he stood up and walked out quietly. Room.

When he arrived at Xicheng under the guidance of the coachman, he saw rows of alleys as soon as he got off the car, which were houses of ordinary civilians. He blinked and saw that his senior brother was really a poor student.

Mu Chenxi didn't find it strange. The teacher was not a person who was ambitious, and there was no distinction between high and low in his eyes. He still had some normal deeds, so he didn't find it strange at all that his other disciple came from a humble family.

He was not discouraged and felt that his senior brother could not help. Or imagine why the teacher didn't help this senior brother and let him live in this civilian place and be willing to live a miserable life.

Mu Chenxi just wanted to find some information from his senior brother secretly. As for whether he could help or whether he was willing to help, he didn't even think about it.

Because this was a helpless move, he couldn't just watch Zhao Huan worry and not think of any way to help. He couldn't sit back and let Zhao Huan worry about him. Mu Chenxi was not afraid of being implicated by Mr. Zhao, but he couldn't let Zhao Huan down.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Mu Chenxi stopped at a residential house and knocked on the door a few times.

"Creak."

The dilapidated door opened, and a powerful man in his thirties appeared in front of Mu Chenxi. He looked at Mu Chenxi up and down, without saying a word, just looking at him quietly.

"Well"

Mu Chenxi blinked her big eyes and showed a big smile, "Uncle, is this Li Fuwa's house?"

"Uh"

The man was startled by his call, but then he realized what he was saying, nodded and said "hmm" Character.

"Is he at home?"

Mu Chenxi saw that he didn't speak much, so he spoke himself, "I am his junior brother, and the teacher asked me to bring him a letter."

"Junior Brother"

the man's color changed for an instant, and his eyes gradually became sharp. , "He's not here, please leave the letter."

After he finished speaking, he immediately added, "Leave your address. I will reply to you when I get the message."

"Okay."

Mu Chenxi smiled, not minding him. After all, he didn't have any other expression for this attitude. He just became more vigilant and said, "Is there any pen and paper here? I want to leave a letter for senior brother."

"Wait a moment, sir."

After the man said that, he closed the door directly and went back to get it. Pen and paper.

Mu Chenxi looked confused. What kind of rule is this? Are you not even allowed to enter? What danger can she bring to him? With her body, that man can at least fight three with one.

Just now he saw this man asking for a letter, and for a moment he didn't want to give it. However, although his eyes were sharp and wary, he was honest and had no evil thoughts.

I heard him ask me to keep the address again, so I gave up the idea of ​​taking the letter away. Mu Chenxi secretly thought about it in her heart, if she cheated and refused to tell others, what would that person do?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile. His idea was really a bit ridiculous. However, Mu Chenxi was certain that if he did that, the man would not do anything else. At most, he would have no choice but to leave his letter.

He was thinking a lot, imagining that he heard the door knock again while he was having fun, and Mu Chenxi looked up and smiled, he was really a real person.

The man not only took the pen and ink, but also carried a table. Mu Chenxi watched him put the things away and smiled at the man, "Thank you, uncle!"

He stopped talking nonsense, went over to pick up the pen and dipped ink on a table. He wrote two lines of words on the paper, then put down the pen, took out the teacher's letter from his pocket and handed it to the man, saying: "Thank you."

The man saw his sharp turn and left without any delay, with that stiff face A smile flashed across his face quickly.

He waved his hand behind him, and a figure rushed out, following Mu Chenxi. The man lifted the table with one hand, and the things on it seemed to be fixed, motionless and steadily carried into the yard.

.........

When Mu Chenxi returned home, he saw Uncle Wang bringing an old man to check Zhao Huan's pulse. He rushed to Zhao Huan in a few steps and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No."

Zhao Huan He was also confused. He had just woken up and was lying on the bed in a daze when Uncle Wang woke him up and said that he looked bad and asked someone to check his pulse.

"It's just that the heart is burning, and people are a little tired."

The old imperial doctor took his pulse and said, he looked at Uncle Wang, "It's nothing serious, I'll prescribe two medicines to get rid of the heart burning."

"Oh!"

Uncle Wang couldn't help hearing this. He said, "This must be my first time in Rongdu. I may be a little dissatisfied with the change of water and soil. It's all my fault that I didn't expect this. If I had asked the imperial doctor to take care of it early, this wouldn't be the case!"

The old imperial doctor couldn't help but be surprised when he heard what he said. Looking at Zhao Huan and the others, they couldn't help but murmur to themselves: Who is this person that makes Butler Wang so nervous? The Queen Mother even sent her here. When

Mu Chenxi heard that the imperial doctor was going to prescribe medicine for Zhao Huan, she hurriedly asked: "Doctor, is he in serious trouble?" You always prescribe some good medicine, we have money."

"Haha."

After hearing his words, the old imperial doctor couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, it's all good medicine."

After that, he added . He said, "It doesn't matter. It's okay even if you don't take the medicine. Just take a few days and you'll be fine."

"That's not possible."

Upon hearing this, Butler Wang hurriedly objected, "This is no small matter. You must take the medicine and rest well. If there is any problem, I will But we can't explain it to our master."

He pulled Mu Chenxi over again and said to the imperial doctor: "Please give our young master Chenxi a safe pulse. He will take part in the examination after the new year. This body needs to be treated early. Please, imperial doctor. Prescribe some medicinal meals, we have to prepare them as soon as possible."

Seeing his behavior and what he said, the imperial doctor became even more suspicious. He was familiar with this family, so he must treat these two people with caution.

Without saying a word, he felt Mu Chenxi's pulse and not only prescribed medicine for him, but also prescribed some medicine for Zhao Huan.

After taking the medicinal soup he prescribed, he was told to take good supplements. Zhao Huan's physique was not as good as Mu Chenxi's, so he must take good care of himself.

Among them, Mu Chenxi and Zhao Huan caught a few sensitive words: imperial doctor, queen mother, master, as well as medicinal foods and other things must be used well. If there is a shortage in the house, you can go to the palace to get it.

Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi looked at each other and said nothing. He nodded in agreement with the old imperial doctor's instructions, and did not object to Uncle Wang's various concerns and arrangements, silently accepting them all.

After sending the imperial doctor to the hospital, Mu Chenxi hugged Uncle Wang's arm, smiling like a spoiled little baby, "Uncle Wang, I want to ask you something."

Seeing how impatient Zhao Huan was, he couldn't help but turn around silently. He raised his head and the corners of his mouth crazily, unable to suppress his smile, and felt extremely happy.

Chapter 99

"Uncle Wang, how could you invite the imperial doctor?"

Mu Chenxi said with a sweet smile, "Do you still know the Queen Mother?"

"Huh?"

Steward Wang looked at Mu Chenxi with doubtful eyes and said, "The master didn't say anything. " No.

"

Mu Chenxi also felt something was wrong at this time, and Uncle Wang's expression made him feel a little nervous, "Queen Mother, it couldn't be Amber and the teacher,"

he said. Some are not sure. The teacher and Amber are both single and have a lot of money. How can they not find a wife?

He has always thought that they are people with emotional intelligence and have arranged a lot of love in their hearts. Hating love, or not being able to love, Mu Chenxi thought about various reasons in her heart.

He just didn't expect that he would be involved with the Queen Mother. He looked at Uncle Wang expectantly and secretly prayed in his heart that he must not have any feelings for the Queen Mother, otherwise he must keep a low profile to avoid getting them into trouble.

Zhao Huan saw his eyes moving around and knew that he was not necessarily guessing something secretly. He couldn't help but shook his head: Mu Chenxi is still too naive. The relationship between Amber and Jiang Haohai is already obvious, why can't he see it!

But Zhao Huan couldn't say this. He had always let his imagination run wild, and he was happy to see him guessing and guessing, so that he wouldn't have to ask for confirmation after he said it himself. Then it would be a lot of fun.

When Butler Wang heard Mu Chenxi's words, he couldn't help but frown and think for a long time. Finally, he slapped his forehead in realization and said to himself: "It must be it. Who else is willing to mention it again?"

"Uncle Wang, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Chenxi and others He explained, but seeing that he was silent for a long time, still looking like he just understood what he meant, he quickly urged, "What does it have to do with the Queen Mother? Can you tell me?"

Although he was anxious, he still remained reserved. This teacher and the others Things, if people know about it, there may not be any trouble, so it's better to be cautious.

"Hi!"

Butler Wang saw his anxious eyes and couldn't help but smile, "Of course the gentlemen don't want to mention the past. Those are all sad things that cannot be looked back on."

"It's over, it's over."

Mu Chenxi knew that the guess came true. , He is really in love with the Queen Mother. He couldn't help but murmur to himself, "No wonder she stayed in a remote place. It turned out to be to avoid suspicion!"

"The Queen Mother is the master's biological sister."

Butler Wang didn't notice Mu Chenxi's expression and was minding his own business. "My surname is not An, but I was favored by Master An, and because of some things, I temporarily became invisible as a servant. Later, I didn't want to regain my identity, so I stayed in An's house." "

Sister An Bo is the Queen Mother."

Mu Chenxi patted her chest and exhaled, and said with lingering fear: "I thought it was something else!"

"Okay, don't disturb Uncle Wang."

Zhao Huan pulled Mu Chenxi over, "Let Uncle Wang handle it Having said that, we should also understand each other, so as not to say or do anything wrong in Rongdu in the future."

"You two young masters don't have to be taboo. It's okay to do anything wrong,"

Butler Wang said proudly, "As long as it's not treason, surrender to the enemy, or conspiracy. You are free to rebel. If the masters were not afraid that you would be targeted and plotted against you, they would not hide their identities. "

Uncle Wang, you can't hide it."

Mu Chenxi hurriedly took it . His words, "Amber and Teacher love us so much, we must know something about it. In the future, if we want to provide for them in old age, we naturally need to know what they like and what they avoid." "

Okay, I'll tell you."

Butler Wang heard Mu Chenxi say It made sense, and my master didn't ask me to keep it a secret, so I decided to tell them.

It turns out that Amber is a child of an aristocratic family. He belongs to a scholarly family that has produced several generations of imperial masters. Later, he got tired of the strife between imperial power and gradually faded away from the government and the public and no longer participated. However, some people wanted to take advantage of the situation.

He deliberately planned to marry the eldest lady in the family, but he happened to be saved by a prince who was least valued. She has frequently been associated with the royal family, and because of the eldest lady's reputation, she has no choice but to marry into the royal family.

In order to survive, I could only provide more support. After successfully supporting the prince to ascend the throne, I thought I would live a stable life from now on.

Unexpectedly, some well-intentioned people prompted some hidden remnants to break into the mansion and assassinate the queen and the young prince on the occasion of his birthday.

In order to save the queen and the young prince, the whole family was almost slaughtered. Unfortunately, the queen returned to the palace safely, but the little prince disappeared.

As a result, the palace was impeached by some court officials, and they all wrote letters asking the emperor to punish him. The disappearance of the prince should be due to the palace's failure to protect him.

At that time, the queen was frightened and frightened. Then there was the disappearance of the little prince, and she fell ill and fell into a coma all day long. In order to prevent those courtiers from taking the opportunity to cause trouble and implicate the queen, the remaining people in the house committed suicide to apologize.

Butler Wang burst into tears when he said this, "The master was still young at the time. He tried his best to protect the little prince and was chased out of Rongdu. In the end, he was seriously injured and was rescued by Mr. An who came to Beijing to take the exam. When he came back, he was already dead. The family was destroyed."

Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi felt heavy when they heard this. No wonder they were so indifferent, not revealing their identities at all, and staying away from Rongdu with no intention of returning.

In Uncle Wang's subsequent narration, they learned how Amber became a slave. After being rescued by Jiang Haohai, who was rushing to take the exam, he was seriously injured and couldn't go on his way for a while. When he could get up, he heard the news that the whole family had committed suicide.

Amber was disheartened. In order to send the young prince back as soon as possible, Amber disguised herself as a woman and married Jiang Haohai, hiding all the way to Rongdu.

In order to enter the palace to see his sister, he turned into a slave and sent Jiang Haohai back to the young prince. Afterwards, in order to take revenge, he did not reveal his identity to the outside world, and kept disguised as a slave next to Jiang Haohai.

After everything was settled, he teamed up with the queen to gradually find out who was behind the murder. After getting rid of them one by one, he had no intention of regaining his identity.

Because even if he takes revenge, those relatives will not come back to life, and he cannot kill all the courtiers who followed the trend of impeachment.

He was too lazy to be an uncle anymore, and even his family's old mansion was burned down by him. From then on, he threw away all his original identity and name, and only lived as a slave in An Mansion.

Uncle Wang was the one who protected the Queen Mother that day. He was the only servant in the entire mansion. Because of his serious injury, the Queen Mother hid him and later followed Amber.

"What about the teacher?"

Mu Chenxi asked. He was curious about Jiang Haohai's identity. "The teacher is also alone. Where is his family?"

"He is not much better than the master. They are all poor people."

Butler Wang sighed, "He He was the legitimate son of the duke's family. Because his biological mother died of illness, he was sent to another hospital for foster care. After the new wife entered the family, she was almost killed several times. The uncle's family sat back and ignored them, unwilling to have a confrontation with the duke's house, so he thought to himself. I found a way to escape."

Only then did Zhao Huan and the others realize that Jiang Haohai was also a member of a high-ranking family with an extraordinary status, and he was actually a person who had been tricked by fate.

After Jiang Haohai escaped, he was rescued by a lonely old hunter and raised him. He also worked hard to support him in studying and gaining fame, so Jiang Haohai took his surname and provided for him until he died.

"However, Mr. An has never recovered his identity. As a son of man, he cannot take revenge. This is the case in many mansions. I can only swallow this breath silently."

When Butler Wang said this, his lips moved. He looked at Mu Chenxi and still didn't say the following words, "However, our master is not a vegetarian. The current emperor also appreciates his kindness. His own family and uncle's family are no longer outstanding.

"That's how it should be." Mu

Chenxi agreed. In his opinion, no amount of revenge would be too much for a person who cares about his family, and he didn't harm anyone's life, so what should he be afraid of?

"Uncle Wang, do you know the identity of my wife?"

Mu Chenxi asked. He looked at Zhao Huan and saw that he had no objection, "He is the fifth son of Lord Zhao, the same Zhao whose family was imprisoned in the sky prison a few days ago.

"Oh!" Butler

Wang stood up and apologized to Zhao Huan, "I really don't know why you went out in the heavy snow today. That's why you did it!" " Uncle

Wang, what do you know?"

When Huan heard what he said, he quickly asked: "We can't get any news. If you know anything, please tell us?"

"Hi."

Butler Wang saw Zhao Huan's nervous face and hurriedly reassured him: "It's okay. It's okay, it's just that he was implicated. If some people add insult to injury, the emperor will take advantage of the situation."

At this point, he paused, looking a little embarrassed, "Let's not talk about it for now. Mr. Zhao did not commit any crime. It won't be a big problem if he is imprisoned. I'll arrange a meeting with you first."

"Why are you being implicated? Why are those courtiers who have nothing to do and add insult to injury?"

Mu Chenxi stopped talking when she saw him, so she asked Butler Wang to ask her clearly. My son had to take medicine because of this matter. How could he let Uncle Wang know about it?

"That's fair to say, don't worry."

Steward Wang thought of some taboos, so he wanted to keep silent. Seeing Mu Chenxi's reluctance, he explained the reason, "He is married to an in-law, and he is the Minister of Household Affairs. He is now in jail awaiting trial. Someone is making a fuss about his marriage, suspecting that they are colluding together, and asking the emperor to investigate thoroughly. When Zhao Huan heard this, he immediately understood the meaning and sneered

.

Said: "Just because of a suspicion, the whole family was thrown into the sky prison. Your Majesty is really wise."

"This."

Steward Wang didn't want to say this, but Zhao Huan suddenly grasped the key to the matter, "In fact, it's not a big deal, Zhao Hou I'm away all the time, and Mrs. Hou is in charge of the back house. Just check it out."

"Really?"

Mu Chenxi said to Zhao Huan, "It's just those courtiers who have enough to eat and nothing to do. Don't worry, I thought. What's wrong with my father-in-law? We're just waiting to find out."

"Humph."

Zhao Huan snorted lightly and said nothing. He knew that the current emperor was the son of the Queen Mother, so he would naturally not express his dissatisfaction in front of Uncle Wang." I understand. If we can meet, let's meet first."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Butler Wang hurriedly left. He could see that Zhao Huan understood what was going on here and could only sigh: This matter came out in time. , just in time for them to catch up, otherwise what would happen?

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi blinked and comforted Zhao Huan: "Amber will help find a solution, we just wait. He also said that it is not the father-in-law's problem, and he should ask the Queen Mother for help."

"The emperor is his son. "

Zhao Huan shook his head, "Since ancient times, imperial power has been based on bloodshed. For their own benefit, it doesn't matter if they kill a few people. Fortunately, it's not that the Marquis has really made a big mistake, otherwise it will be useless even if you bring Amber and the others back. "But

Butler Wang worked very quickly and came back that afternoon to report that he could go to Tianlao to see Mr. Zhao tomorrow.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang."

Zhao Huan thanked him, "It's really troublesome for you."

"It's okay."

Steward Wang smiled, seeing that he was relieved, "I'll prepare some things, and the young master will bring them to the Marquis tomorrow. "

Chapter 100

On the second day, Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi, led by Amber, came to Tianlao to visit.

Zhao Huan felt a deep sense of horror as soon as he entered. The inside was the same as the ancient prison shown on TV, but the bars were not made of wood, but made of iron as thick as a baby's arm.

How strong it was, Zhao Huan was secretly stunned. Could it be that a prison break really happened, so he would be so cautious.

The prison officer led the way, leading them through several turns and stopping only when they reached the end. The prison was built like a maze, with large iron gates set up at each level.

"That's it right here."

The prison officer pointed to a few people sitting on the ground inside. Their faces were all pale, obviously from the cold. There was only a thin layer of grass on the ground and nothing else.

Wearing thin clothes with the word "prison" on them, in this winter, it is torture!

Butler Wang nodded to the prison officer, indicating that he could leave. After they left, he said to Zhao Huan, "I'll wait for you outside."

"Okay."

Zhao Huan nodded and forced a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Wang. "

He watched Uncle Wang walk away, turned around and looked into the fence, and saw that the young men's faces were purple, obviously they were very cold, and they were looking at him suspiciously.

"Master Hou."

Seeing this situation, Zhao Huan ignored those people and just took a few steps forward and shouted softly.

Mr. Zhao, who had his eyes closed all the time, slowly opened his eyes after hearing the word "Hou" and looked over slowly. Suddenly he stood up suddenly and ran to the fence in a few steps. "Xiaowu"

"Hou " "Master."

Zhao Huan can't call anyone "father", let alone this cheap father. "I came to see you. I'm sorry, I'm late."

Zhao Huan thought that if he could come a few days earlier, Mr. Zhao would be here. He won't catch the cold, and his face looks so pale. He must be almost fifty after all.

"Why did you come to Rongdu? What happened?"

Mr. Zhao didn't react for a moment. The first thing he thought about was that something happened to him. Otherwise, how could he come so far to Rongdu? "Speak quickly, I'm still outside." There are a few people who can be used."

"It's okay, I'm okay."

Zhao Huan's nose felt sour, it felt so uncomfortable to be cared about by him, "We came to Rongdu to participate in the examination, and we found out that something happened to you, so we thought of asking someone to help. Come and see you."

"Oh."

Mr. Zhao laughed at himself when he heard this. "You are so confused. You can prove that you can protect yourself."

He looked more and more lonely at Zhao Huan. With his tall figure and handsome eyebrows, he could still vaguely see his own shadow. He couldn't help but smile happily, "Xiao Wu has grown up and is promising."

This sentence of Xiao Wu made Zhao Huan feel depressed. It was the name Mr. Zhao gave to the original owner when he was a child. Ever since the original owner entered the school at the age of seven, he has been out on expeditions and is rarely seen again.

It had been many years since the original owner passed away, but these two words had always been treasured in the memory of the original owner, so Zhao Huan was very sensitive.

"Master Hou hasn't seen Xiao Wu for so many years, haven't you never seen him?"

Zhao Huan couldn't help asking the question in his heart, which was also the question of the original owner. Why has he been restrained in a corner for so many years and cannot appear freely, but his father has always been Never summoned.

When he asked, Mr. Zhao looked a little strange, "Didn't you go out to study for a few years? After you came back, you always went out to meet friends, and you didn't even show up for banquets at home."

"Uh."

Zhao Huan was startled, but before he could wait, In reply, I heard a hoarse voice say: "It was my fourth brother and I who were sent out to study. The fifth brother did not go."

The young man who spoke was pale and sat in a corner. He was holding a ten or twenty-year-old boy in his arms. , a three-year-old boy, hunched over from the cold in his arms.

"I brought cotton-padded clothes."

Zhao Huan didn't care to say anything else, and hurriedly took the big package that Mu Chenxi was carrying, opened it one by one and stuffed it through the middle of the fence, "I also brought a quilt and some food and drink. Those are still there The inspection outside has not been completed, and they will be delivered later. "

Zhao Houye has eight sons. Except for Zhao Huan, the other seven are here. They didn't expect anyone to bring anything in, and they thought they would freeze to death inside.

They took it and put it on one by one, and said "Thank you" to Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi. Their faces were full of gratitude. They didn't expect that their brother, who they had known each other for many years and was like a stranger, would come to give them something.

Zhao Houye was also stuffed in Zhao Huan's arms. After putting it on, he said: "Everything is my fault. I didn't check and didn't do my best. Otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed you to serve as a servant for so many years. I'm to blame." Blame me."

"Forget it happened in the past, it was just a mistake."

Zhao Huan just wanted to ask the original owner what he said and express his grievance. "After all, you still care about it. That's enough.

" It's impossible to be serious. At least after Mr. Zhao knew he was wrong, he still wanted to make amends. After all, Marquis Zhao's original intention was that he did not want him to get married, but he did not express any objection and considered the situation in the house, so he allowed himself to leave the house.

"I didn't expect that I was already well and could take the examination again."

Mr. Zhao looked at Mu Chenxi and nodded with satisfaction, "I wanted to help him because I saw that his eyes were clear and he was righteous. It's a pity that the house Some people are not lucky, so they only think about marrying high, and they don't think about how good they can be in the backyard with strict rules. It is not as comfortable and leisurely as living in a farmhouse with a dowry. "

" Mr. Hou,"

Mu. Chen Xi bowed deeply to him, "I will always remember the kindness of the Marquis back then and never dare to forget it."

"It's just a small effort."

Marquis Zhao looked at Zhao Huan and said, "It seems that you two get along well, so I'm relieved." It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. You go back." Zhao Huan nodded and motioned to Mu Chenxi to get the things. "Have you finished checking them?" "

Yes ." Mu Chenxi nodded. Leave. After Zhao Houye saw him go out, he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Don't come here after you leave. Once is for family affection, but twice can't be explained. The current emperor has become more and more tough in recent years. He just wants my military power. There is no fear of life. But according to his nature, he should exile us without leaving any consequences. You don't have to worry." He paused for a moment and looked at Zhao Huan with some relief. "When I became aware of the emperor's intention, I was in the family tree. I've crossed out your name, and you will have nothing to do with the Zhaohou Mansion from now on. This visit will repay the kindness of giving birth, and no one else can criticize you. It shouldn't be too much of a drag on you." Zhao Huan nodded, feeling mixed in his heart . , he didn't know how to face this. At this time, footsteps were heard in the distance. Zhao Huan hurriedly stepped forward, took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into Mr. Zhao's arms, "Keep it just in case." "Yes." Mr. Zhao also whispered quickly . He said in Zhao Huan's ear: "I have hidden something, please remember to get it." As soon as he finished whispering some of the things he had explained, Mu Chenxi came in with the servants and the prison officer. The prison officer opened the iron door and took the Two large bags of bedding and food were put in there. "The time has come, please go out."

The prison officer was very polite to Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi, extending his hand in a gesture of invitation. Zhao Huan took one last look at Mr. Zhao, as well as the bones, blood, and brothers of the original owner, and turned around and left the cell.

After they turned the corner, Zhao Huan heard the sound from behind, which was very clear in the empty space.

"Third brother, why did you go to a foreign academy to study at that time? Weren't you all here?"

"How could we not know? But it's not up to us whether we want to or not."

"Didn't you and your aunt make a fuss about going?" "

Although we were only eleven or twelve years old at that time, we didn't know there was a good academy outside. Brother, have you heard of the academy we went to? How could you not know about it if it was famous?"

Zhao Huan continued to talk more and more. Far away, it gradually disappeared bit by bit. He shook his head with a wry smile on his lips.

This is the disaster of ancient back houses and the sorrow of the entire era. Is it the blame on women for fighting with each other, or on the blame on men for having three wives and four concubines? Who can truly lay down a standard?

Some people may say that it is the man who enjoys the blessings of everyone, and some may say that it is the woman's fault that makes things difficult for the woman. But Zhao Huan believes that neither of them is wrong. It is okay to strive for happiness, but hurting innocent people requires reflection.

The reason why troubles in the back house frequently occurred in ancient times is because men would marry so many wives and concubines even though they knew something would happen in the back house.

Zhao Huan didn't understand whether they thought they had the ability to control the back house, or whether they didn't care at all and were too lazy to care whether the people in the back house lived or died.

As for women competing for favor and hurting each other, maybe they are unable to resist this situation. Under negativity, one can only think of ways to maintain one's status or eliminate everything that may pose a threat to oneself.

However, Zhao Huan really wanted to complain: Can we not hurt innocent people? Can we not generalize and kill a whole boat of people with one shot? Can you think more clearly, consider more comprehensively, stay rational when fighting for happiness, and eliminate some insignificant people?

But he knew that he couldn't, because everyone was holding back their anger, and naturally they had to vent it out in their own way or take the opportunity. The original owner should have sacrificed himself on this, without any threat at all, and was still treated as a way to vent by Mrs. Hou. channels of dissatisfaction.

"What are you thinking about?"

Mu Chenxi frowned at him and gently stretched him out with her hands, "It's good if you don't worry about your life. Fame and wealth are just the icing on the cake in life. If you can look away, you can live a safe and smooth life."

"Yes."

Zhao Huan smiled faintly. He had never valued this. "Let the servants follow the prison officer and send these things to the women's prison."

Mu Chenxi agreed clearly and turned around to arrange the matter. At this time, Uncle Wang came over and said, "I've already contacted the empress. She will help. The result shouldn't be too bad. Don't worry."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, and thank you Queen Mother."

Zhao Huan smiled and said his words of thanks. Even if the uncle Wang helped, the result depends on the emperor's ambition, "As long as he can save his life. The Marquis is not a person who values ​​utilitarianism. He has been loyal in battles for many years. It is the emperor's kindness to be able to live out his old age in peace."

They were in Tianlao . Visiting the prison here, the prince in the palace is walking to the imperial study. He wanted to laugh when he thought about the letter his junior brother wrote to him.

"Love is always in love, can we meet once?"

The prince muttered to himself again, the smile on his face getting deeper and deeper, thinking to himself: The teacher has accepted a precious disciple! No wonder he likes it so much and is so attentive. It was the first time he wrote to me after he left, requesting to take care of this junior brother. It seemed that he really held him in his hand and loved him.

The prince walked to the door of the royal study and asked the young eunuch to go in and report. He kept thinking about how to help Mr. Zhao escape properly.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wants to see you."

"Let him come in."

The Emperor put down the memorial in his hand, picked up the tea cup on the imperial desk, paused slightly, and then took another slow sip.

"My sons and ministers are here to see my father." The prince came in and saluted.

"Yes."

The emperor nodded and looked at him with a pair of dark and sharp eyes, "Why do you want to enter the palace?"

"Tomorrow morning, the corruption case of Qin Shilang should be closed. I don't know how to deal with Mr. Zhao. It has been found that he is innocent. He was harmed and did not participate in it."

The prince described the case and asked the emperor to tell him how to deal with Mr. Zhao. "Many courtiers should report this matter to the court tomorrow morning. It should be decided early."

Depose the Marquis."

The emperor said in a leisurely manner. It seemed that he had already planned. "Seize up the family property and exile the whole family. Give him a decent life and choose a wealthy place."

The prince's eyelids twitched when he heard this. It's so cruel. There is no difference between punishing someone like this without any mistakes and being convicted. It's nothing more than saving one's life.

At this time, he not only wanted to help Mu Chenxi, but also had his own disapproval, "Father, will this move cause criticism from the courtiers? After all, Mr. Zhao is not guilty, and he is loyal and has made many contributions to the court. , Will such a punishment make those loyal people in the court think?"

"Humph."

The emperor looked at him coldly, because he was too kind and was already dissatisfied with the prince he appointed, "Don't you understand the purpose of this move? ? Just because of a few words of impeachment, isn't it just to get back the military power?"

He stood up and looked at the prince condescendingly, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, "The problem that others can see is that you, as the prince, have a problem. Don't you understand? It's because of his loyalty that he saved his life, but it's also because of his high skill and ability that there's no chance of him turning around."

The prince's heart grew colder as he listened, and in the end he was hit hard by the emperor and could no longer intercede. room.

"When doing things, you must put the overall situation first and put away your benevolence as a woman."

The emperor's tone was cold, but it also contained a warning. "Remember, you have to remove the roots to cut the weeds. Don't let me down."

"Yes, my lord. " Remember."

The prince felt bitter in his heart. He had long sensed that his father was displeased with him, but he just wanted to remind him, hoping that there would be a slight change. "I heard that the fifth son of Lord Zhao has already passed away. Back to Rongdu, his husband is the emperor's new disciple."

After saying this, seeing that the emperor's expression did not change, he bowed and left. "I will take care of this matter."

The prince turned and left . , he hoped in his heart that his father would change his mind. Although he formally became his disciple, his father also taught him from a young age, and he was recognized by his father and everyone else, otherwise he would not have been given the title of Imperial Master.

He hoped that his father would give Mr. Zhao some face for the sake of the emperor's master. At the same time, the emperor and his junior brother are considered to be from the same school, and I wonder if they can change their minds.
