"We have almost visited all the places we should visit. I will take my time in the remaining places. Taking advantage of the last moment, I would like to invite two friends to my home and solve some things."
After Mu Siyu finished speaking, she asked Zisu and Ziyuan to follow her out for shopping.
Lu Yi looked at Xia Kun: "She has only been here for a long time, how come she already has friends? Who has been in contact with Madam recently?"
"Mr. Lu, my wife is sociable, isn't it normal to have friends?" Xia Kun said, "It's not enough for you to be busy with official duties all day, and you also worry about your wife making friends?"
"People in the capital are complicated."
"You underestimate Madam too much. Not only the people in the capital are complicated, but the people in Hubei City are also complicated. If Madam can prosper in Hubei City, she can do the same in the capital. Okay, if you are worried, wait until she invites her friends
We'll know who it is when we come here. If there's anything wrong, we'll just keep an eye on it secretly. Besides, Chanyi and a few people have been protecting the madam, so the madam's safety is still safe."
The first thing Mu Siyu bought was a house.
Since Lu Yi wants to come to the capital to be a capital official, the first thing he needs is his own yard. The current house belongs to Lu Xuan, and it will be for Lu Xuan to live in in the future. Otherwise, if two officials live in the same house, even if they are brothers, they will not be able to live together.
It is easy to leave excuses for others. Furthermore, Lu Xuan has reached the marriageable age. Even if he is not in a hurry, he will have to prepare to get married in the next two years. In this case, it is better to start living in separate houses now to avoid the trouble of moving around in the future.
.
Of course, such a big matter cannot be decided by one person. She first wrote a detailed analysis of several houses she was optimistic about and gave them to Lu Yi.
"Ma'am, just make the decision."
Because of this short sentence, Mu Siyu almost pinched the soft flesh of Lu Yi's waist.
However, she no longer hesitated. Since Lu Yi listened to her, he chose a large house according to her ideas.
After choosing a house, she was not in a hurry to add furniture. After all, she was going to open a store in the capital. When the time came, she would bring her team over to take care of the place inside and out first.
After Mu Siyu bought the house, she invited Su Ruliu and Chu Ningzhu to come over and say goodbye briefly.
"Sister, hasn't Lu Xuan come back yet?" Chu Ningzhu asked.
Mu Siyu shook her head gently.
Su Ruliu looked at her doubtfully: "Why are you so nervous?"
"How can I be nervous?" Chu Ningzhu said.
"Your face is pale, and you still say you're not nervous?" After Su Ruliu finished speaking, she looked at Mu Siyu, "Who is Lu Xuan? Seeing that she is so nervous, could it be something..."
"My brother-in-law." In case Su Ruliu said something embarrassing to everyone, Mu Siyu directly explained Lu Xuan's identity. "When Ningzhu went to Hubeicheng, she was disguised as a man, and she was also disguised as a woman when she met my brother-in-law.
She is dressed in men's clothing. My brother-in-law still doesn't know her true identity. Today, she has to reveal her identity truthfully. She is worried that my brother-in-law will mind. This is normal!"
Su Ruliu looked at Chu Ningzhu with a half-smile but not a smile: "Is it normal?"
Where is normal?
Chu Ningzhu looked soft and frail, but she was actually arrogant in her bones. Previously, she saw her fiancé holding a brothel girl while walking around the golden building. She walked over without changing her expression, not taking the young prince Jun seriously at all.
Now that she cares so much about a man, it shows that in her heart, he should be a very important friend.
Mu Siyu invited friends to be guests. As a man, there was no need for Lu Yi, Xia Kun and others to come forward.
When Lu Xuan came back, Mu Siyu took Chu Ningzhu to Lu Xuan's courtyard alone, and asked the two girls to take Su Ruliu to sit in the teahouse for a while.
Lu Xuan was a little surprised when he heard that Mu Siyu had brought friends, so he packed up and went out to meet people.
"Sister-in-law..." Lu Xuan came over with a smile, "I heard that there are distinguished guests... This lady looks familiar."
When he saw Chu Ningzhu, Lu Xuan was stunned, and it took him a long time to say this.
"This is Miss Chu." Mu Siyu said, "You should have something to talk to alone. I'll go and accompany Miss Su."
Su Ruliu was doing nothing in the tea room. When she saw Mu Siyu coming back, she said, "Is your brother-in-law scared?"
"It was true that he felt stupid when he saw Ningzhu, but he is not a pedantic person. He should not be angry. At most, he is embarrassed." Mu Siyu said, "After all, they have been classmates for so long."
Chu Ningzhu was studying in the academy and came into contact with so many men every day, but no one discovered her identity. Firstly, it was because she did not interact with other people, secondly, because the headmaster of the academy deliberately protected her, and thirdly, Lu Xuan knew
She doesn't like to interact with others and takes her with her wherever he goes. However, it was originally a classmate, but now that he knows that his classmate is a boudoir girl, I wonder if he will feel uncomfortable.
"Why are you back?" Su Ruliu looked behind Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu turned around, saw Chu Ningzhu, and said doubtfully: "You guys... have talked about it falling apart?"
Otherwise, why would it come out so quickly!
"He had something to do and was called away." Chu Ningzhu felt a little depressed. "I didn't say anything."
"You don't dare to say it, so..." Su Ruliu asked.
"I didn't dare, but I didn't intend to keep hiding it, but when I was about to say something, he was called away." Chu Ningzhu said, "In addition, he didn't seem to want to be alone with me."
"Because in his eyes, you are Miss Chu, not his classmate Chu Ling. My brother-in-law has no experience in getting along with women. If he is suddenly asked to get along with a woman, he will inevitably feel uncomfortable." Mu Si
Yu guessed, "He doesn't think that I invited you here and asked you to talk to him just to build a bridge between you, right?"
"It's very possible." Su Ruliu gloated.
"We have to leave in a few days. It seems you have to rely on yourself. I hope your problem has been solved when I come back." Mu Siyu handed Chu Ningzhu a piece of pastry. "Try it."
Chu Ningzhu lost all her energy.
She had mustered up a lot of courage to confess today, but the courage she had just mustered up was lost like this. She doesn't know when she will have the courage next time. Especially since Mu Siyu is not here, she will not have the courage anymore.
Xia Kun and Lu Yi already knew who today's guest was from Chanyi's mouth.
Xia Kun said: "Look at Madam's communication skills, she is indeed the number one businesswoman in Hubei City."
"The Su family..." Lu Yi said, "could it be the Su family that is in charge of the military?"
"The Miss Chu family is the direct daughter of the Chu family. Who else can she befriend besides the Su family? Although the Chu family has no real power, the Chu family has a noble concubine in the palace, and that
This noble concubine also gave birth to a son. By the way, the fifth prince in Hubei City is the son of this noble concubine Chu. Tell me, your fate with the Chu family is really quite deep."
"As long as it doesn't harm Madam," Lu Yi said, "I don't need anything else."
