Zhao Jin knows. The old shopkeeper is talking about Mu Ruolan.
Thinking of what mu zhenxue said when he was in the lobby in the morning, "a woman who seems familiar to the guests", Zhao Jin had some ideas in his mind. If the guests who often go to liuxianlou to drink wine are familiar with mu Ruolan, it makes sense.
"What is she doing here?" Zhao Jin asked with a frown.
"I had just opened the store that morning when I saw her standing at the door, holding a bundle of materials sold from me. The material was a little old. I recognized it at a glance. It was the most expensive one in the shop at that time. At that time, shopkeeper Mu came back after you left and bought the cloth, but he didn't know how it fell to the girl. "
"I asked her if she had come so early to pick the right material? She shook her head. But it's not a good way to ask her to stand in front of my shop all the time. I asked her to come in and say something. She dawdled for a long time before she came in. She put the bundle of materials in her hand on the counter and said that if the family wanted money, she would give it back to me at the same price. "
When Zhao Jin heard this, his heart gradually became clear. He listened to Zhao Mian about Mu Ruolan's leaving from Mu Yunsheng. Mu Yunsheng didn't talk about the reason why mu Ruolan left, even Zhao Mian didn't say. Therefore, he only heard about "sister Mu's cousin left from sister Mu".
But what the old shopkeeper said could never have happened when mu Ruolan was still in liuxianlou. This material should be given to her by Mu Yunsheng. Mu Yunsheng can never let her say that she is short of money, let alone let her return the material she bought back for no reason.
This should be what happened when Muroran came back to Mu's home.
The old shopkeeper took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "it's reasonable to say that this material would never be returned when it was sold, and generally no one would return it. But I saw that she was in rags. She didn't look as bright as when I came with you last time. So I believed her saying that there was no pot in the house. I took the material and gave her the money back. Alas, it's a pity that I have a good piece of material. It took dozens of embroiderers a month to get such a piece, but they sent it back. It's hard to sell it because it's stained with sweat everywhere. "
When Zhao Jin heard this, he had already guessed the truth.
Zhao Jin said: "old shopkeeper, when did this happen?"
The old shopkeeper pinched his fingers and thought, "it's not far. It was two days ago."
After hearing this, Zhao Jin left two pieces of silver ingots on the counter: "even if I buy that piece of material, I'll send someone to take it the next day."
The old shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know what was going on. As soon as Zhao Jin lifted the curtain and left, he disappeared in the crowd outside the clothing shop.
Zhao Jin has guessed the whole thing.
Although I don't know why mu Ruolan left Mu Yunsheng and returned to Mu's home, Zhao Jin doesn't believe it was Mu Yunsheng who made her go back. This material was undoubtedly bought by Mu Yunsheng and given to Mu Ruolan, who also brought it back to Mu's home. However, after mu Zhenjia and mu zhenxue separated, the old lady and master Mu could only exploit Mu Zhenxing's family. Mu Ruolan's return was like jumping into a fire pit. Naturally, some good things were ordered to be exchanged for silver, wine and meat to honor the old lady and master mu.
Three days ago, the cloth shop returned the cloth and exchanged money for this. What was the purpose of taking muyunshu away yesterday?
Although the most obvious point is that mu Ruolan abducted mu Yunshu and sold him for money in order to change money. But Zhao Jin still has a little pity for mu Yunsheng's cousin. He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.
When Zhao Jin stepped into the gate of Zhao's house, a lantern was already in hand. There is a good relationship with Zhao Jin at the door. He is waiting for him with a bitter face. As soon as Zhao Jin came back, he quickly went forward to take the bag, waist drop and other things that Zhao Jin had unloaded, and said quietly, "Lord, you should sit outside for a while, and then go in again."
Zhao Jin frowned and walked around the hall regardless of dissuasion. He walked back to the yard with a big stride: "no, I have something to say to miss mu. Is she still resting at mianer? "
Before the boy's answer came, someone's voice came earlier: "Zhao Jin."
It's Mu Yunsheng. Zhao jinxun looked up in his voice and was stunned when he met his predecessors. He didn't expect that Mu Yunsheng was waiting for him at the gate of Zhao Mian's courtyard. He felt a trace of warmth that he had never felt before.
It's too windy at night in late autumn. Zhao Jin is worried that the man who just fainted will catch cold again. Just as he is about to take the cloak from the little boy's hand and tie it to Mu Yunsheng, he is dazed by a slap from Mu Yunsheng's face.
The slap came suddenly. His hand holding his cape was still on Mu Yunsheng's shoulder. From the perspective of others, it looked like a hug pressed the pause button. Mu Yunsheng also had the strength to stir fry a spoon in his hand. This slap in the face made Zhao Jin recover half a day later. He felt that half of his face was burning.
…… It's absolutely because of the fact that we have done something to other people today and have been avenged by God, isn't it?
Zhao Jin's mind is still cranky, a pile of no, turned countless ideas, but suddenly heard Mu Yunsheng said: "what qualifications do you have to command others not to wake me up?"
Mu Yunsheng's voice is shaking, but Zhao Jin knows that the shaking is not because of the cold night wind. His remaining light unconsciously fell on the hand under Mu Yunsheng's cloak. Sure enough, as he had seen for countless times, that hand was clenched into a bleeding fist by Mu Yunsheng, trying to suppress the strange emotion in his voice: "Zhao Jin, I ask you why?""Because you're tired, like you, it's a mess to go to. It's better to have a good rest at home." Zhao Jin light way.
"I rest at home? How can I rest at home? "
Mu Yunsheng was extremely angry by Zhao Jin's words: "where do I have a home? Zhao Fu bought me. I'm a servant. How can I afford to have a family with you, Mr. Zhao? My last home is in the backyard of liuxianlou. There's only me and my brother in the house! "
Speaking of the end, Mu Yunsheng's voice has already brought a crying voice that can't be disguised.
Many years later, Zhao Jin recalled that this was the deepest scene in his memory besides the scene in the carriage that day. This is the first time that he saw Mu Yunsheng crying. There was no pear blossom with rain, no crying with his face covered, no crying with his head snatching the ground and tearing his heart. The thin girl was standing there. Her shoulders, which had been under too much pressure for a long time, were shaking with her silent sobs.
In this chaotic autumn night, the first tear from Mu Yunsheng's chin finally fell heavily on the back of Zhao Jin's hand.
