Looking at the oranges in the basket, their color, size, and taste... weren't they the ones Mrs. Mu brought back from Yiling? But for some unknown reason, she just sent them to Qin Yong's family today.
I peeled another one, it was still as sweet as honey, but the peel was a bit stale. Could it be that Aunt Zhu was unhappy because of this, and did not give Mu a good look, and did not allow her to eat, so she gnawed it alone in the living room with a straight face.
Roast chicken?
Thinking about Madam Mu's appearance just now, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. A heroine, who just wants to be an ordinary person, has to suffer in silence. Oh!
"What's wrong? Is it delicious?" My mother-in-law asked with concern when she saw my silence.
"It's delicious." I smiled and said, "I wish my wife's new house has been built. Then...is it time for Qin Yong to get married?"
"Getting married? With whom?"
I swallowed my orange juice and said, "Haven't Qin Yong been in good terms with Madam Mu for a while? Aren't they planning to get married? I heard from the guys at Jianghu Inn that they are all waiting for a new owner."
"Are you talking about Mrs. Mu? She is a widow, older than Qin Yong, her birthday is unlucky, and she owes a lot of debt. Do you think Mrs. Zhu will agree to Qin Yong marrying her?" Auntie shook her head: "I
From what Madam Zhu said, it seems that she often goes to the Huichun Hall these days, saying that the female doctor Du Xiuzhen is not bad, so she may have other plans."
"Then Madam Mu..." I was anxious: "How come Madam Mu can't compare to a little doctor?"
Auntie also peeled an orange and ate it: "I heard from Aunt Zhu that Du Xiuzhen is fifteen years old and kind-hearted. She is the granddaughter of Du Ruhai, the miracle doctor of Xiangzhou City. Her family has been practicing medicine for generations and her family is well off. How can she be Mrs. Mu?
Can it be compared? You should stay out of other people’s affairs."
"Oh, I see."
I replied, but my heart couldn't calm down for a long time. Of course I don't bother to care about other people's affairs, but Mrs. Mu, she is my employer, friend, and someone I have always admired secretly, how can I ignore it? But, I
What can be done?
…
Su Xiaolu was also very kind. He dug out yellow mud for me and brought me straw. Not only did Song Erlang come by himself, he also brought two partners who were working together, named Lu Yi and Lin Yuanfeng.
.Even the bricklayer introduced by Aunt Zhu arrived as scheduled.
Aniang smiled and poured tea for everyone: "I'll find someone to take care of it. Today is an auspicious day."
Construction is off to a good start. Everything is going smoothly.
However, my energy is limited. I am busy pounding mud and building walls every day. I have to make tofu in Wang Jiajia's yard early in the morning and deliver goods... It feels like I haven't seen Mrs. Mu for a long time, and I haven't seen Xiao Mu again. It seems that the eyes of the sky are following her.
I have nothing to do with it.
"Brother Jianghu, are you tired? Do you want to take a break?" Wang Jiajia always comes to join in the fun and helps bring tea and water, as if she is doing work for her family.
But with her by my side, she brought me a lot of news. She confirmed that Nuan Xin had settled down with Madam Mu, and that the imperial envoy was safe and sound.
It seems that Xiao Mu is really capable. Everything is under his control and he helped the imperial envoy resolve a crisis. I wonder how many spies he has recruited for the imperial envoy these days? What else will happen after my house is built?
Purpose?
…
"Brother Jianghu, Brother Jianghu, it's bad!" Wang Jiajia ran over panting again and pulled me aside: "Jianghu Inn was smashed!"
"What?" I was shocked. I rushed to deliver the goods early this morning. Is everything the same as before? How could this happen suddenly?
"Aunt Zhu... Aunt Zhu led a few people and cursed at the entrance of Jianghu Inn..." Wang Jiajia whispered and glanced at the stove in the corner of the courtyard, thinking that she was afraid that grandma would hear it.
"Aunt Zhu? What is she trying to do?"
"She called Sister Mu a vixen, seduced her son, and even had someone poke the Jianghu Inn signboard..." Wang Jiajia said, a little angry: "However, Sister Mu is not that easy to offend, so she gave Aunt Zhu a slap on the spot.
Slap, if Qin Yong hadn’t arrived, I don’t know what would have happened.”
Did Mrs. Mu beat Aunt Zhu?
My heart sank, but at the same time I felt extremely happy. As Mrs. Mu, I have probably never experienced such idleness. Aunt Zhu kept talking nonsense, and she finally learned a lesson. But... in this way, I am afraid that Mrs. Mu and Qin
Brave...
"Let me tell you, Aunt Zhu is going too far. How could Sister Mu offend her? Humph, Sister Mu can like Qin Yong, which is a sign of their family's ancestry. She actually dislikes Sister Mu. It's really ungrateful." Wang Jiajia
Still very angry.
"Then...what happened next?"
"Sister Mu even went to the door to apologize, but Aunt Zhu didn't buy it at all, so Sister Mu announced on the spot that she had broken up with Qin Yong and asked County Lieutenant Mu to help her find marriages across the city!"
"The whole city is looking for marriage?" I was greatly surprised. After thinking about it, I thought that Mrs. Mu should be like this.
Madam Mu, the goddess in my heart. I have always looked up to her silently. And in this city of Xiangzhou, I should always find someone who is truly worthy of her! I just don’t know who will finally enter.
Got her eye.
…
The working days are as tiring as a dog, but looking at the new house built, all the hard work is worth it.
A main hall, three bedrooms, kitchen, toilet, firewood shed, and even the mill have been completely renovated... Okay, for ordinary people like us, it is enough to live in a solid earthen brick house with blue tiles.
.
"Thank you very much." Aniang paid everyone their wages and thanked them again.
"Auntie, congratulations. Now that the new house has been built, when will we get married to the Jianghu brothers? We are still waiting for the wedding banquet." Song Erlang said with a smile, peeking at Wang Jiajia and winking at me.
Wang Jiajia blushed, turned around and ran away.
Auntie glanced at me, smiled at Song Erlang and said, "Take it step by step, and you will definitely be the first to invite me."
"Okay, then... Auntie, I'm just waiting for the good news." Song Erlang slapped me on the shoulder and waved to Su Xiaolu: "Su Xiaolu, let's go, take me to see your children.
.”
"Okay, but you can't go empty-handed."
"You know, doesn't this cost money again? What do you think they like to eat?"
The two of them left laughing.
Although they said they didn't need wages, they couldn't live up to the kindness of my mother-in-law. Each of them was still forced to pay 200 yuan. I was really touched. These two friends were the right friends. Their lives were not as good as mine, but they still managed to do everything.
Plan for me... I, Li Jianghu, will definitely keep this love in mind. If I am useful in the future, I will definitely devote myself to it until I die...
"Uh...hehe, Brother Li..."
Even Fatty Wang and A Niang went into the room to chat, but Lu Yi and Lin Yuanfeng wandered around the entrance of the courtyard, hesitating to speak.
I was worried. Could it be that the two of them were still dissatisfied with the salary issue?
"Oh, dear friends, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." I smiled.
Lin Yuanfeng scratched his head: "I wonder if Brother Li is free today. Can you go somewhere with us?"
"where to?"
"Oh, not far away, Yuelai Restaurant." Lu Yi also said quickly: "Thanks to your care these days, our brothers have been fed for a few days and earned a lot of wages. We would like to invite Brother Li to have a meal.
Please also ask Brother Li to honor me."
Invite me to dinner? Go to Yuelai Restaurant? Just them? Even Long Yuhan feels worried about money when he goes to a place like that!
After getting along for nearly ten days, these two brothers gave the impression that they were loyal and honest. It was hard for them to escape. They had always been doing odd jobs to make ends meet in Xiangzhou City. How could they be willing to spend money to treat guests?
I stared at them for a while, only to see that they both felt uncomfortable, and then smiled and said: "Invite me to dinner? Or...take me to meet someone?"
"Um... I see that Brother Li is also a straightforward person these days. I want to take Brother Li to meet a friend, okay?" Lu Yi said.
"Who?"
"The young owner of Yuelai Restaurant."
"Okay," I blurted out: "That brat Liu Jiabao offended me last time and asked me to go to Yuelai Restaurant when I was free. He wanted to make amends to me. Come on, let's go meet him today and ask him to give me some money."
Let’s prepare a table full of delicious food.”
"You know him?"
"Yeah, of course."
Lin Yuanfeng looked at Lu Yi and stretched out his hand: "Then...please!"
Passing by Jianghu Inn, I saw that the front door of the shop was empty. I wonder if Mrs. Mu's business has been affected these days. However, the Yuelai Restaurant diagonally opposite was full of guests and every seat was packed.
I fantasized about Aunt Zhu making trouble in front of the Jianghu Inn, and suddenly I felt something was wrong. As a village woman, even if she was dissatisfied with Madam Mu, how could she dare to openly provoke her? Doesn’t she know who Madam Mu’s brother is? Isn’t she afraid of Mu?
The county captain is causing trouble for her?
"Oh, Xiaoman, where is Shaodong's family? Are Shaodong's family here?" Lu Yi grabbed the waiter and shouted as soon as he stepped into the restaurant.
The waiter, who was called Xiaoman, wiped his sweat and pointed to the backyard: "Practice in the back."
We went to the backyard, and sure enough we saw Liu Jiabao practicing boxing against a wooden frame.
"Why are you two here? Are you busy?" Liu Jiabao glanced at us and nodded towards me.
"We have business, haha, have we forgotten the business that the Young Master's family has entrusted to us?" Lin Yuanfeng said with a smile.
"Come." Liu Jiabao pointed to the room next to him, and several people got in mysteriously.
"Brother Li, come in quickly."
What's the matter, so mysterious? I shook my head helplessly and stepped through the door. I felt similar to when Su Xiaolu brought me to meet Xiao Mu.
"Captain, we have been looking for a general for you in the past few days." Lin Yuanfeng said, pointing to me: "Li Jianghu, a native of Xiangzhou, has only one mother in the family. He usually makes a living by selling tofu.
He is an honest man with a kind heart. I think he is very suitable to join us."
"Hey...wait a minute, why did I join you? What kind of organization are you?" I looked at the little kid in front of me and asked, captain? What kind of team?
Liu Jiabao took a step forward and smiled at me: "I am Liu Jiabao, the captain of the Sky Eye Secret Detective Team. I am now officially inviting Brother Li to join the Sky Eye Secret Detective. I hope Brother Li will not refuse."
"Pfft?" I laughed and bent over. I have to say that sometimes I feel so accurate. Lu Yi and Lin Yuanfeng are so mysterious. They are really secret agents. However, I didn't expect it.
The captain of their team is actually a young boy.
"Don't be surprised. Ever since I last saw you by the Qingchuan River, I have felt that you have the potential to be a spy. The imperial envoy said that I should expand my own team. Now our Shen team only has two of them, so
I want to invite you to join." Liu Jiabao said seriously.
"Have you seen the imperial envoy?" I asked. I just felt that Xiao Mu was too unreliable. Could it be that just for ten taels of silver, he would choose a child to make up the money?
"Of course." Liu Jiabao's answer surprised me: "I am the captain of the Shen team appointed by the imperial envoy."
"Team Shen, haha, it's a pleasure to meet you. I, Li Jianghu, am the captain of Team Wei." I patted my chest, how could I lose to a little kid in terms of momentum. This chapter has been completed!
