Ever since he received Mu Xi's assurance and was frightened back by Mu Xi's warning early in the morning, Mu Mu didn't dare to go out for a long time.
Lunch was delivered to Mu Xi, and no one else showed up at all, which showed that he was more than a little resentful about being disturbed by the knock on the door in the middle of the night.
Mu Mu has been drooping all morning, and he has no energy to talk to anyone. It may be because he didn't sleep well last night and woke up too early in the morning.
After lunch, he was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and went to sleep on the couch. When he woke up, his muscles and bones were shaken all over. He didn't want to get up at all. After blinking, Mu Mu suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He remembered that he started to sleep after lunch, but now it was dark when he opened his eyes, and no one called him. Mumu muttered softly while sitting up, put on his clothes and shoes, opened the door, and sure enough,
it's getting dark.
Mu Mu pulled a person: "I've been sleeping for so long, why didn't you wake me up?"
The little girl who was pulled was one of the girls who was usually responsible for taking care of and arranging their daily life. She was relieved to see that he finally woke up: "You are finally awake. It's not that we don't call, but you still wake up no matter how we call.
I didn’t wake up. Later, General Mu said that you were too tired these days, so don’t worry about it. I’ll wait for you to wake up and serve dinner at some time. Do you think you need dinner now?”
The expression on Mu Mu's face changed wonderfully: "Where is Mu Xi? Where are the others?"
The little girl shook her head and said she didn't know. Mu Mu covered her head and asked her to go ahead and do her work.
No matter how tired he is, he can't sleep without feeling at all. Mu Xi said this deliberately. Mu Xi lied to him, but he still left to find his relatives.
Mu Xi sighed. He had long thought that it would be impossible to let go of this matter according to Mu Xi's character, but he didn't expect that he would not even tell him the truth.
Even if he said he was going to find his brother, could he still stop him?
Maybe...
Will he report him to the young master?
Don't even say it...
Mu Mu looked like he was giving up on himself, he could go wherever he wanted, he wouldn't stop him.
He walked out of the room to check the results of the day's training. The Shadow Cavalry Guards had long been accustomed to the two leaders' behavior that they always remembered one thing after another. When he wanted to check, he practiced in a formal manner for a while.
Mu Mu glanced at him, said a few words that were not bad, and then left. It looked like three souls had lost seven souls.
A group of rich and powerful men were wondering behind them, what was going on? Did the little guy lose a fight or was he dumped by a little girl from some family?
Mu Xi was really angry. Mu Xi, a brainless guy, didn't sleep in the middle of the night and didn't let others sleep. He disturbed people's dreams for no reason. When will he be able to give him this jade pendant and a handkerchief that hasn't been washed for who knows how many years?
, you have to choose a time to come when the chickens are still awake.
He couldn't sleep after Mu Mu left, staring at the jade pendant and brocade handkerchief in a daze. In the end, he felt that it would be better to explain this matter clearly.
Mu Xi probably didn't sleep all night last night, so he added something to his lunch that would help him have a good rest, and told others not to wake him up. Mu Xi changed her clothes and went out.
First, he went to the grave where Mu Mu came to worship him that day and bowed respectfully. "Sir, I came to see you. The guy who came yesterday was a stupid guy. He gave all your wine money to others?"
I guess you must be angry, so I came here again today, and this time I brought enough money for drinks."
He squatted in front of the flickering fire, and the expression on his face could not tell whether it was nostalgia or sadness.
"Actually, I know that you have never been particularly optimistic about me. I don't like to talk and don't have so many lively thoughts. Unlike my brothers, who are all good candidates for business. But you also said that I am very suitable for studying and can take the exam in the future.
My dad paid a lot of attention to me because of your words."
Now if you knew that I had become a general, you might be so surprised that you couldn't even hold the wine bottle, right? It's like my father knew that our teacher was an alcoholic.
He gathered the fire and added a few handfuls of paper money into it: "I'm going to find him today and explain everything clearly to him. You will understand me, right? Although I don't have any ability, after all, I still
People from the Duanmu family will never hide timidly. Since they have such a good opportunity to tell everything, I don't know what he is doing now. As long as it is not something that harms the people and the country, I can say it.
I can also give him some advice."
He squinted his eyes and seemed to recall things from the past. It was only a few years ago, but now it felt like a lifetime ago.
Those days as Duanmu Xi, as the youngest and most underappreciated young master of the Duanmu family, were like a story that happened to others, and he stood beside it like a spectator.
He threw the last handful of paper into the burning fire and watched it gradually extinguish.
He clapped his hands and stood up: "I'll see you next time, sir. The students have to leave first. Although I don't want to say this, he is indeed a good emperor. The people of the country, country, country and dawn need him. I can't do it for my own selfish reasons."
I'm sorry for ruining a wise man."
Bowing deeply, Mu Xi left the cemetery without looking back. After wandering at the foot of the mountain for a while, Mu Xi was too lazy to go to each house to find someone. He rented a stall and displayed a big sign "Heirloom Jade"
”.
Some passers-by came around curiously and asked: "How do you sell this jade? What is it made of?"
Mu Xi said nothing and held out a finger.
"One hundred taels? Why don't you go and grab it!" Someone immediately got angry.
Mu Xi shook his head: "It's not a hundred, it's a thousand taels. My jade is not made of any special material, it's just ordinary jade." His tone was calm, as if he was stating what he had eaten for lunch.
The people who came around couldn't help scolding him: "You must be sick. You dare to call an ordinary piece of jade a family heirloom jade, and you dare to ask for so much money!"
Mu Xi said nothing, with a calm expression as if the old god was there.
When the person scolding saw that the person being scolded did not respond at all, neither retaliate nor explain, he immediately felt very boring. After a few curses, the bad luck disappeared.
Until the evening, a person finally came forward suspiciously: "Is this jade of yours really a family heirloom?"
Mu Xi nodded: "Exactly, the heirloom jade that has never been deceived."
The man looked him up and down: "My young master wants to see your jade, come with me."
Mu Xi didn't waste any words, returned the stall, paid the money, stood up and left.
The man who rented out the stall took his money more suspiciously than the man who came to buy jade.
I didn’t expect that there are still people in this world who do this stupid thing of renting a stall to sell a piece of jade with no features at a high price. What’s even more stupid is that people actually come to ask and buy it. What’s going on in this world?
