‘Aww—’ a wolf howl suddenly sounded from deep in the forest.
Mo Xiaowan was startled and quickly retracted her hand, her expression a little unnatural.
Mu Run was startled when she heard the wolf howling, and asked Mo Xiaowan, "Are there any wolves here?"
Mo Xiaowan pretended to be innocent and raised her hand, tucking a few strands of hair from her ears, "Well, there are indeed wolves. But they are on the mountaintops farther away and hardly come here, so there is no need to be afraid."
"That's scary enough." Mu Run was so frightened by the wolf's cry that he unexpectedly stopped feeling dizzy and slowly stood up, "Let's go up first."
"Okay." Mo Xiaowan looked at her and clenched her hands tightly.
This time, Mu Run climbed to the end in one breath without resting in the middle. Then he looked at the palace-like building, especially the front door, which had a plaque hanging on it, and breathed slightly: "Chongyi Hall."
Mo Xiaowan continued to walk into Chongyi Hall, "Chongyi Hall is the place where the village master and the hall masters discuss matters. Yihua Garden behind it is the village master's inner courtyard. By the way, the succession of the village master in Bianyun Village
According to the rules, in addition to the position of village master that the new village master deserves, he must also take in the wives and concubines of the previous village master. There are still women from the previous village master in the inner courtyard, and they are all beautiful and beautiful.
But don’t worry, their status is incomparable to yours. They are the women of the former village leader. At best they are concubines, but at worst they are just toys. But you have to be careful with one of these women, she is the wife of the former village master.
Xue Niang. She is the adopted daughter of the fourth-generation village master and the master of the Jingyan Hall. She has a complicated identity and has a certain influence in the village. Even Brother Chen is very polite to her."
"..." Mu Run felt that since arriving here, his views have been constantly being refreshed, without end.
Can women also inherit? The naked law of lions.
Seeing her distraught look, Mo Xiaowan thought she was frightened by her words, and was even more dismissive of her. She arranged for Mu Run to go to Fu Yunchen's main room in the inner courtyard instead, instead of arranging for Mu Run to go to the main room in the inner courtyard with the former village leader.
Mingxiangju, a side room across the courtyard where the concubines lived together.
…
"The main courtyard needs to be cleaned and renovated. You can stay with Mingxiang first and then make arrangements when Brother Chen comes back."
"Well, this small courtyard is quite quiet and quite nice."
"If you need anything, just call the maids and I will arrange for them to come over and do the work."
"No, I can do it myself."
To be honest, she has hands and feet and doesn’t need anyone to serve her at all. When Hongmi was here before, she would do whatever she could. Hongmi is a smart person. He saw that she didn’t like being served by others and didn’t disturb her solitude much.
.But who knows if the people here will be as dexterous as Hongmi, so they simply refused.
Mo Xiaowan did not force it, "If you don't need anyone to serve you, I will find a manager to come over and explain to you the situation of Yihua Garden."
"It couldn't be better." Mu Run smiled.
Noila Mo took another look at the courtyard of Mingxiangju, "In that case, I'll leave first."
After Mu Run sent Mo Xiaowan away, she closed the door to the small courtyard and bolted it. Thanks to Fu Yunchen who always broke in, she had developed a habit of closing the door and bolting it to avoid any possibility of accidents.
There was a half-used deck chair in the small courtyard. Mu Run walked over and lay down directly on it, taking off her cloth shoes to completely release the fatigue and stress from the journey.
Maybe I was too relaxed and fell asleep from exhaustion within a few breaths.
The steward came and knocked on the door to look for her, but she didn't even hear him.
She didn't wake up until the sun was setting during her sleep. She got up from the recliner and looked around the small courtyard.
The more I look at it, the more I think this small courtyard is nice, especially the clump of green bamboo growing in the corner, which is very pleasing to the eye.
‘Dong dong dong——’ Someone knocked on the door.
Mu Run was stunned for a moment and responded: "Who is it?"
"I am Yang Gong, the steward of Yihua Garden. You can just call me Lao Yang. I want to tell Miss Mu the rules in Yihua Garden. Do you want to tell me now?"
Miss Mu? She had been called sister-in-law by the bandits along the way, and she was almost numb. Suddenly there was someone named Miss Mu. It was so... comfortable!
Opening the door, there was a middle-aged man standing outside, with good facial features, giving people a sense of intimacy.
"Please come in and talk."
"Miss Xie Mu, no need, it's just a matter of a few words. The rules in our Yihua Garden are also simple. In addition to not being able to go to the front yard, especially the meeting hall of Chongyi Hall, we are also not allowed to leave Chongyi Peak.
There’s nothing else, just serve the village master with all your heart.”
"We can't leave Chongyi Peak. Is this the peak?" Mu Run directly ignored the words of Fu Yunchen who was waiting for him later.
Manager Yang replied: "Yes."
Mu Run, "Then what if I don't go down the mountain and climb up the mountain?"
Manager Yang was surprised. He didn't expect Mu Run to say this, "There is no rule that you can't go up the mountain, it just says you can't go down the mountain."
"Oh, do I cook the meals every day, or do you take care of them?"
"It's all okay. If Miss Mu wants to start the stove by herself, I will arrange for someone to deliver the ingredients. Other aunts also cook for themselves. If they don't want to cook, we will also send them."
"I'll do it myself."
"Okay. I'll have someone deliver the things over later."
"OK."
Not long after he left, several women and maids brought her a lot of things, including pots and pans, fruits and vegetables, firewood, lamps, candles, etc., all of which were necessary for daily life.
Mu Run watched them busy, occasionally asking about things in Yihua Garden.
Lao Yang was a thoughtful person, so he asked his mother-in-law to bring her a dinner, including meat and vegetables, rice and soup.
After having a full meal and soup, Mu Run lay on the lounge chair and looked at the bright stars hanging low in the sky, as if he could pick them with his hands. The air was also full of the fragrance of flowers, plants and trees.
"It's really good." Mu Run took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and settled down.
Suddenly there was a melodious piano sound.
Mu Run opened her eyes and looked in the direction where the music came from. She remembered that it was a garden. Now in the peak of spring, the garden was full of greenery and flowers, and it was very lively. If it hadn't been dark, she would have gone there for a walk.
Fangyu Xiaozhu, separated by a small garden from Mingxiangju, is a two-story exquisite bamboo building.
On the terrace on the second floor of the bamboo building, a woman in white clothes with a veil on her side was burning incense and playing the piano. Her body and posture were ethereal and graceful, like a fairy falling into the world.
Standing beside her was a maid in green, holding a silver fox cloak.
After the song ended, the woman stopped playing the piano, looked towards the Mingxiang Residence across the garden, and said to the maid: "Xiao Li, someone has entered the Mingxiang Residence opposite?"
Xiaoli stepped forward, put a cloak on her, and replied: "Miss Xiaowan brought it. The ladies in the kitchen said she is an ordinary-looking village girl."
"Plain appearance? To be able to catch that man's attention, he must be outstanding. Let's go over there tomorrow and have a look. Prepare a jar of Baihua brew."
"It's Miss."
