"Why are you telling us this?" I tried to calm down and asked. Since she is a heroine and we haven't done any evil, she shouldn't hurt us.
Madam Mu smiled tenderly: "We have known each other for so long, so we can be considered friends. Of course, friends must be honest with each other."
"Friend?" I was a little flattered. I turned to look at Wang Jiajia and saw that she was also in a panic.
"Although you two are ordinary civilians, you are kind-hearted and righteous, and you are worthy of a close friendship."
"We... how can we be so good?" I heard her praise and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Do you still remember that grandma who fainted after eating your tofu pudding without paying me?" Mrs. Mu looked at me with a smile and said, "You carried me to the doctor without hesitation and found a place for me to rest.
It already makes me feel that you are a friend worth keeping."
"Grandma? You..." I suddenly thought of the scene when Li Huichun diagnosed grandma, and I was shocked: "You mean...that grandma...you are pretending?"
"Hahahaha, how is it? Isn't my disguise skill very powerful?"
"Disguise?" Wang Jiajia also became excited for a moment: "You mean you can change your appearance at will?"
"Of course, sometimes male and sometimes female, sometimes old and sometimes young. Do you want to learn?"
"Think, I can learn from you?" Wang Jiajia was very excited.
"From tomorrow on, Nuan Xin will be my maid. Knowing that you two have a good relationship, if you have time, you can often come over to play with her. I can also teach you how to put on makeup. The scars on your face can be completely covered."
"Really? Haha. That's great!"
They were chatting happily, but I was left aside for a while. I pondered Madam Mu's words in my mind, and I always felt that there was something I didn't want to say.
"Um... Boss, you said that Su Xin got into trouble because of your poor planning... Did you know the imperial envoy for a long time? What is your... relationship?"
Madam Mu stopped laughing and looked at me calmly: "The imperial envoy and I have the same surname, so our relationship is naturally extraordinary. However, I feel that even if we are good friends, we must have some privacy of our own. Why do we have to ask so clearly?
"
"That's right, Brother Jianghu, can't we girls have some secrets?" Wang Jiajia also helped from the side.
I scratched my head in embarrassment and couldn't say more.
Madam Mu turned around and opened the box on the bedside and handed me a cloth bag: "Li Jianghu, here are twenty taels of silver, two of which are what Xiao Mu asked me to give you to take care of Meng Baotou Ying for these two months.
The reward you got was eighteen taels of silver, which you borrowed from me."
"Ah? What?" I was stunned: "Why? Why did I ask you to borrow money?"
"Because your family needs to repair the house and doesn't have enough money, so you borrowed eighteen taels of silver from me. In the next few months, you will slowly deduct it from the tofu money." Mrs. Mu said, taking out another one from her sleeve.
A piece of paper came: "This is an IOU. You sign it and give it to Uncle Fu. Starting from the first day of September, I won't pay you for the tofu."
"I...I want to repair the house, but..." I was a little embarrassed. I admit that I am a very conservative person. I have no ability to do big things. Borrowing so much money at once and being in debt is not something I can do.
Something happened.
Mrs. Mu rolled her eyes at me: "I won't harm you. Now every household in Xiangzhou city is busy repairing their houses. Didn't Magistrate Xu issue a notice? After the dilapidated houses are renovated, the government will subsidize half of the funds.
This is a rare opportunity.”
"I..." I felt warm in my heart and carefully took the money bag: "Thank you, boss!"
Madam Mu shook her head: "Don't be so polite, I'm not helping you, I'm just doing my duty."
"Duty?"
"The duty of a secret agent with the Sky Eye is to absolutely obey the tasks assigned to you regardless of the reason."
"Eye of the Sky Secret Agent?" Wang Jiajia exclaimed, and immediately covered her mouth: "You... you are also a Secret Eye of the Sky Eye agent?"
Madam Mu smiled slightly: "Of course. I would like to formally introduce myself as the captain of the Secret Eyes Team, Mu Xian'er."
"Captain of the team?"
"Yes. Uncle Fu is my vice-captain. If I'm not here, you can go to him directly if you need anything." Mrs. Mu said, putting the IOU into my hand: "Go ahead and ask Uncle Fu to sign it."
Regardless of the reason, absolutely obey!
I, Li Jianghu, the captain of the Wei team, oh, no, the captain of the Wei team who is still in the assessment, is really confused.
Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu, how many spies have you recruited? Didn’t you also ask me to check on Mrs. Mu? Is it just to verify her identity through me to see if her identity is confidential? And this time, my house is being repaired.
Is it a mission?
I signed the IOU with Uncle Fu as ordered and returned home in a daze. My mother-in-law was happy to hear my idea.
Chewing an orange in her mouth, she smiled happily: "You are old now and have your own ideas. Mom is very happy. Since I borrowed the money, I will ask the master bricklayer to come and take a look tomorrow and make some plans. Oh, I will
We also met Song Erlang, and he said he was also helping others build houses. When he is almost done, please ask him to help us too. And Fatty Wang, don’t let him idle."
"okay."
…
After a tiring day, I slept peacefully at night. When the midnight watch came, I just woke up. It was still dark, so I touched a handful of oranges next to the pillow. I smiled slightly, lit the oil lamp and looked at it.
It still exudes an attractive luster. Haha, I finally resisted eating it. This was the only one of the four oranges Mrs. Mu gave me, and I was really reluctant to part with it.
Grinding beans and making tofu as usual, I just wonder if I will meet Mrs. Mu when I deliver the tofu. Yesterday I got to know her better and became friends, which is really a happy thing.
…
"Good morning, brother Jianghu!" Song Erlang waved to me and shouted.
"Oh, Second Brother Song."
"Have you run out of tofu?"
"The delivery is finished." I smiled, thinking that I was a little regretful that I couldn't see Mrs. Mu just now, but the meat and egg noodles as always warmed my heart.
"I heard that your family is also planning to build a house? It just so happens that my house will be completed this morning, and I can help you in the afternoon. Haha, the labor will be waived. Send me a few bowls of bean curd to try, and then
Just worry about how many meals I have." Song Erlang said with a smile.
I was surprised: "How did Brother Song know that my family was going to build a house?"
"Brothers Jianghu, Song Laoer, haha, what a coincidence!" It was another familiar voice.
"Su Xiaolu?"
"When will the construction of your house start? Have you hired the master bricklayer yet? Just hire a master and leave the other work to us!" Su Xiaolu still looked suspicious, because it was just dawn, and he was really like a mason.
Like a mouse.
"How do you...how do you all know that my family is going to build a house?"
Song Erlang smiled innocently with a dark face: "Xiao Mu said that last night!"
"Xiao Mu?"
"Well, he said that our team will fully cooperate with you!" Su Xiaolu also patted his chest, looking like he was waiting for the order to be completed.
"This...hehe, this Xiao Mu." I felt embarrassed: "My family is building a house, why do I use my eyes to spy on it?"
The two shook their heads, and Song Erlang sighed: "It's not like you don't know that there is something wrong with that little Mu's brain. Who knows what he thinks? But he said that as a secret agent of the Sky Eye, he has no regard for the tasks assigned to him.
Ask why and obey absolutely."
"That's right, as the captain of the sub-team, I should lead by example. Besides, based on our relationship, I can't just sit back and watch if anything happens to your family. Well, forget about wages, you have to prepare some food.
I have fed my children. However, they will not eat you in vain. As long as I give an order, they can go to the mountain to dig mud for you now."
Seeing the sincerity of the two of them, I suddenly felt sour in my heart: "Thank you very much!"
"Oh, I'm so touched! Haha, brother, why are you so out of sight?" Song Erlang patted me on the shoulder and laughed: "Besides, I'm your team member, so I finally got a chance to please you.
Please give me a moment and ask the captain to give me some face."
"You are my... team member?"
Song Erlang nodded seriously: "Xiao Mu said, I have been officially regarded as a secret agent of the Sky Eye. Because we are good brothers, I have been relegated to the third team. Haha, from now on... um, wait for Jianghu
Brother, I have officially passed the examination, and I have to obey your orders."
"Is it Xiao Mu again? Ha, this Xiao Mu!" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I have never had many friends. Song Erlang and Su Xiaolu, whom I have not known for a long time, suddenly became so concerned about my family's affairs. Although it was an order, I was still extremely moved.
"Thank you so much. I...I'll treat you to dinner." I'm really not good at words, so I had to come up with such a simple way to thank you.
"Eat? Forget it, didn't you just have breakfast? Our boss will provide you with a lunch at noon. I have to go to work. Brother Jianghu, Su Xiaothief, see you later!" Song Erlang said, waving
He waved and left.
"How about it, brother Jianghu, let me know when the construction will start." Su Xiaolu looked at the direction where Song Erlang was leaving and smiled: "This Song Erlang's life is really shabby, and all the hard-earned money is basically gone.
Bought medicine for his father."
"How do you know him?"
"Haha, it's like I know you. However, I, Su Xiaolu, nicknamed the Thief Five Buqi, learned that his money was going to buy medicine for his father, so I returned it to him." Su Xiaolu said, raising his head high.
Come on, it seems like you have done something chivalrous.
I looked at him with disdain: "Are you still stealing now?"
"Well, what else? If you want to do something, you have to love it. The most important thing is persistence, do you understand?"
"You..." I was really shocked and speechless by his shamelessness. I waited for a moment before continuing: "You are now an elite spy, captain of the sub-unit, how can you still be a thief? Could it be that Xiao Mu
Didn't he talk about you?"
Su Xiaolu smiled slyly: "Xiao Mu told me to pay attention to safety when stealing and strictly abide by my own principles."
"What?"
"Really, I lied to you like a puppy."
Xiao Mu actually supported him!
I sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Then have you ever stolen Xiao Mu's money? Let me tell you, don't look at him looking like a poor scholar. He must be very rich. He has recruited someone without knowing it.
There are so many spies, and every time we recruit an elite spy, the imperial envoy will reward him with ten taels of silver!"
Su Xiaolu suddenly felt a little ashamed: "I know, he has shown off in front of me a long time ago, but it's a pity that I failed to succeed three times." This chapter has been completed!
