"Yes..." I hesitated for a moment. I promised Nuan Xin, how could I break my promise?
"Li Jianghu, do you know why I think you are suitable to be an elite spy?" Xiao Mu stared at me, as if he could see through me at a glance: "Because you are honest, timid and cowardly, and you don't look like you are a spy at all.
But because of this, if you become a secret agent, others will not notice it, and you can detect the enemy's situation more covertly."
I smiled sheepishly: "But, there is a saying that 'a gentleman's words are hard to follow.' If you promise something to others, do you have to keep your promise?"
"yes."
"Then...then I won't say anything. I just hope you will give me another chance so that I can make some achievements in other aspects."
Xiao Mu was silent for a moment: "Okay. I won't call you by name this time. You should carefully observe the people you come into contact with. If you find anything strange among them, tell me in time. If it is valuable, then I will
I can also make an exception for you."
"Haha, thank you, Brother Mu." I breathed a sigh of relief: "Then where should I find you?"
"Remember the alley next to Jianghu Inn? Walk five steps in from the alley entrance. There is a loose floor tile against the wall. There is a hole underneath. You can put something in. I will show up when I see it.
you."
I suddenly felt a mysterious feeling. I was happy at first, and then worried again: "Then what should I put?"
"up to you."
I touched all over my body and finally took out a penny from my purse: "Can I put a copper plate in it?"
Xiao Mu smiled: "Good idea."
I drank all the drinks and packed all the fruits. Since Xiao Mu was treating me, of course I couldn't waste it. He actually earned the Imperial Envoy ten taels of silver so easily. Su Xiaolu probably didn't know, otherwise he would have to run away?
Next time if he makes money because of me, I will definitely give him a good beating.
"Li Jianghu, come and pick up your burden?"
A gentle voice pulled me back to reality.
"Mrs. Mu!" I was startled and realized that I had arrived at Jianghu Inn.
Mrs. Mu is still wearing a white dress, but she looks refreshed today, and has long lost the sadness and melancholy of the past.
"Master, what do you want?" Ah Wu ran over and handed her a food box: "I said, Master, are you still going there every day? Isn't this too cheap?"
"Want you to take care of it? I'm happy to go." Madam Mu smiled softly and walked out the door holding the food box.
"Shopkeeper, if you look at her like that, she must be possessed by a demon, right?" Ah Wu said with a sigh.
Uncle Fu squinted his eyes: "I want you to worry blindly."
Ah Wu said no more words.
Curiosity made me take out the cloth bag: "Uncle Fu, Fifth Brother, I have some fruits, do you want to try them?"
"Hey, where did it come from? It's quite sweet." Ah Wu grabbed a grape and stuffed it into his mouth.
Uncle Fu pointed to the bench: "You should also sit down and eat together. It's still early."
I sat down and said, "I've already eaten a lot. You guys eat. Haha, you just said that our boss is possessed by a demon. What do you mean?"
Ah Wu spat the seeds onto the corner of the table: "You don't know yet, right? Our boss has fallen in love."
"Falling in love?" I suddenly thought of Mrs. Mu's words on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day. She said that she was going to start a new life, but she didn't say with whom.
Uncle Fu also picked up a peach: "That guy Long Yuhan is really lucky. To be favored by our employer is really a sign of his great virtues."
"What? You mean Long Yuhan from the Sky Eye Team?"
"Well, a few days ago, County Lieutenant Mu invited Team Tianyan to come to our place for dinner. The boss was particularly affectionate towards Long Yuhan. Seeing that he was drunk, he even ordered the kitchen to cook sobering soup and fed him personally. These days
God, I will bring him food every day. Hey, my boss said that I must get married within this year. Maybe we will have to find a new boss." Ah Wu said, as if he was waiting to watch a show.
I forced a smile: "I heard that my boss's former husband got married to her in this inn. I wonder who he is? Could it be that he looks very similar to Long Yuhan? That's why my boss fell in love with Long Yu so quickly.
Cold?"
"How are they similar? How can Long Yuhan compare with Dr. Li..."
"Ah Wu, why don't you talk too much! Why don't you go to work!"
Uncle Fu scolded Ah Wu, who was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth.
But I heard it clearly: "Did you just say, Doctor Li? Which Doctor Li? Li Huichun?"
Ah Wu smiled and waved his hands again and again, and retreated towards the kitchen: "I don't know, I didn't say anything. It's been years and I've forgotten it, haha."
Uncle Fu also stood up: "It's okay not to mention the past. I can't explain the fate clearly. Stone, have the guest rooms been cleaned?"
I saw that both of them took the opportunity to leave, so I couldn't force myself to stay and ask questions. It seemed that my feeling was right. Mrs. Mu and that Li Huichun really got along well.
It’s no wonder that Li Huichun was a good friend of the imperial envoy. He followed the imperial envoy to Yiling and took up his post. He left only after everything was stable for the imperial envoy. Mu County Lieutenant also followed the imperial envoy around all the time. Mu Niangzi and Mu County Lieutenant knew each other when they were in Yiling, so of course they would know each other.
Li Huichun is a talented man and a beautiful woman, and it is natural for him to fall in love. But for some reason, he comes to Xiangzhou City and comes to an inn to get married?
Later, it was probably that Li Huichun left, lost his memory again, and his life and death were unknown. Madam Mu thought he was dead, but he married someone else and had a child... This must be the case, otherwise Madam Mu looked at him in the eyes
Not so sad.
But now it's good, Mrs. Mu finally figured it out. She said: It's better to forget each other than to live together. She wants to start a new life, but that Long Yuhan...
Hey, I have mixed feelings in my heart. I never thought that I would be trapped by love, and it was for the sake of other people's children. Why should I worry so blindly?
…
A few days later, Long Yuhan and I met at Lao Meng's house. We had a few drinks together and helped Lao Meng clean up the yard before leaving together.
I looked at the graceful Long Yuhan next to me and said with a smile: "Congratulations, don't forget to invite me when you have a wedding."
Long Yuhan asked in confusion: "Happy event? What happy event do I have?"
I felt sour in my heart and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Aren't you and Mrs. Mu..."
"Stop it. You can eat whatever you want, but don't talk nonsense. We have nothing to do with each other."
"How is that possible? I heard that Mrs. Mu doesn't bring you food every day. Is it interesting to you?"
Long Yuhan sighed, his whole body seemed to be extremely relaxed: "It's all in the past, haha, now I finally get rid of that woman's entanglement."
"get rid of?"
"I remember telling you, I already have someone I like in my heart. That Madam Mu has indeed put a lot of effort into me, but so what? Even if I, Long Yuhan, don't want to do anything, she will do it
Even if the knife is held to my neck, it won't work."
I looked at his cold and handsome face, and suddenly felt sorry for Mrs. Mu. Like Uncle Fu, I also felt that Mrs. Mu could like him because of his ancestral virtues, but I didn't expect that he would refuse. It took several days.
I have never seen Mrs. Mu before, so I don’t know how uncomfortable it will be for her to suffer this blow.
"Hahahaha, Li Jianghu, maybe you don't believe me, but I became a Yue Lao yesterday." Long Yuhan suddenly laughed and said mysteriously.
I looked at him doubtfully: "Become a Yue Lao?"
"Remember my cousin I mentioned to you last time? He is also from the Sky Eye Team. His name is Qin Yong. He is already eighteen years old this year. My aunt has been worrying about his marriage. So yesterday, Madam Mu brought her
When delicious food came to me, I rejected her in front of all the Sky Eye team members and introduced Qin Yong to her."
"Your cousin Qin Yong?" I thought about it, and Long Yuhan did mention before that his cousin's father was a blacksmith, and the last work he made was the golden flute in Li Huichun's hand.
"Since my uncle's death, in order to help my aunt share the burden, my cousin has gone to Jianghu Inn to do odd jobs from time to time. He should have known Mrs. Mu for a long time. I just found out yesterday that in the past three years, although Mrs. Mu has not been in the inn, Qin
Yong is actually still thinking about her. However, it is impressive that he can muster up the courage to pursue her and take the initiative to express his love for Mrs. Mu."
I looked at the person in front of me calmly, and I wanted to rush up and give him a slap. Madam Mu could like him, but he was not happy. He even embarrassed her in public, and even pushed her to other men. This is shocking.
What to do?
However, I still held back and did not take action. Based on my rational analysis, no, it is more appropriate to call him cowardly. After all, he is the leader of the Sky Eye Team, not to mention that I can't beat him.
I clenched my fists and breathed out softly. For some reason, I suddenly thought of Wang Jiajia. Didn’t I reject her in front of passers-by on the street on the night of Chinese Valentine’s Day? I also hoped that another man would fall in love with her.
.Long Yuhan and I have gone too far.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Long Yuhan bumped my arm with his elbow.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just thinking that the person Mu Mu likes is you. If you push your cousin out, will she accept it? It's true that you want to help your cousin start a family, but have you considered Mu Mu's
Do you feel it?”
Long Yuhan smiled: "How can she feel? I'm afraid she will have to thank me for being this month old. She is already twenty-one years old and a widow. It is her good fortune to have someone willing to marry her.
.
Although she is Mu Xianwei's sister, she seems to be a golden person, but the imperial envoy will only stay in Xiangzhou City for one year. When he leaves in March next year, Mu Xianwei will naturally follow him. What else can she have?
backing?
And her inn was not paid for in full at all, but was divided into ten installments. Now only three installments have been paid. There are still seven years left, and Fushun must be paid five hundred taels of silver at the end of each year. What do you think?
In addition to labor wages, debt repayments and taxes, how much does she have left in her annual income?"
I looked at Long Yuhan in surprise: "Did you reject her just because you analyzed these thoroughly?"
Long Yuhan shook his head: "Do you think I am such a snobbish person? I said, I already have someone in my heart. For Fairy Baiyun, I am willing to do anything, just like Qin Yong, he knows everything, but he is still right
Madam Mu will never look back."
I looked up and saw that the sky had darkened. It turned out that everyone could see clearly. Only my eyes were like the sun covered by dark clouds, and there was only a trace of inexplicable heat in my heart. This chapter has been completed!
