"Well, you're not a peach blossom, but the sedan girls can carry it." Mu Rousang pulled her into his palanquin. The Mulberry did not dare to be impudent, and only carried the small stone to sit on his second palanquin, as per Chunxi's instructions. However, Mu Yiyang rode on a big white horse by herself.
Initially, Mu Rousang was still a little worried that he would not know how to ride, so she sat in the sedan chair and peeked through the curtain.
When Mu Fengchai heard this, she laughed and said, "It's all because we had a mule at home. Cousin, you should know, how can there be any horse in the county, and that horse is so expensive, my brother wouldn't be willing to buy it. It's just that when I have something to do at home, I took a mule to ride on it, and gradually learnt it too."
Mu Rousang rolled her eyes and asked: "Didn't you learn it as well?"
"Hey, cousin, we're already so far away, how would you know?" Mu Fengchai originally thought that she had a small secret, but before she had even come to share it with Mu Rousang, she had already guessed it through.
"You grew up by my side, how could you hide your little idea from me?" Mu Rousang laughed as he hugged her.
Mu Fengchai carefully sized her up, then asked softly: "Cousin, in the past, I always thought about you in my heart, and was afraid that you would be unhappy marrying into the Hou Mansion. I never thought that after seeing you today and seeing how cousin husband is acting, I actually thought that cousin was the right person to marry."
When Mu Rousang heard this, she thought of Yang Zixuan and even her hair was filled with smiles. "Isn't that so?
At least her cousin's life was going well, and she thought of the stalwart man that hid deep in her heart. Maybe she should also learn to forget, like her own cousin, to find a loving husband to marry, and then she would give birth to a bunch of children, living happily and peacefully.
Mu Rousang did not know that her marriage had affected Mu Fengchai, so when she thought about how she was busy marrying the last time Mu Fengchai came, she did not have the chance to take him out on the streets to play around with him.
However, just as he arrived at Xuanwu Street, he was suddenly blocked by people on the street. The exit was blocked so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out.
"Chun Yan, quickly go and take a look. What's the matter?" Seeing that the sedan had stopped, Mu Rousang instructed Chun Yan who was walking at the side.
Mu Fengchai asked curiously: "Cousin sister, did something happen?"
"I don't know. After I came to the capital, I rarely had the chance to leave. Even if I had free time, my husband brought me to the manor to play. I wonder what happened in the capital recently?"
Mu Rousang suddenly thought of a recent rumor that the censor had shot into the heart of an official, but no one knew what exactly happened.
Very soon, Chun Yan returned and replied, "Young Mistress, there are many palanquins and carriages in front of us! No one is leaving. "
"But what did you find out?" For some reason, Mu Rousang felt very uneasy in his heart.
Chun Yan sighed and said, "They say that an official of the capital has been expropriated. All the people from the proper families will be sent to Caishikou to be executed today."
Mu Rousang had been in this dynasty for more than ten years, but it was the first time she heard about it. Furthermore, it was not far from her location, causing her entire body to feel uncomfortable.
"What about the women? They were also cut down together? "
Chun Yan continued, "I've never heard of it. They only said they cut down men, and I guess they were either sent to the palace as a palace maid, or sent to the government for sale. Sigh, do you think they're living a good life? I don't know what these men are thinking, but they've caused these innocent women to suffer alongside them. "
Although Mu Rousang had suffered a little when she just arrived, but all these years, she had been immersed in a pot of honey, and when had she ever heard of truly killing people, causing her heart to become anxious and her face to turn ugly.
"Cousin!" Mu Fengchai's black eyes were filled with worry and fear, her small hands tightly grabbing onto the back of Mu Rousang's hand.
She patted the back of Mu Fengchai's hand and forced a smile: "Don't be afraid, there's always my elder cousin around. Besides, we, as innocent people, are not afraid of these things, you just need to rest assured.
Who knows, perhaps the fate of this official today would be the future of the Yang family. In this era where politics was ever-changing, no one could say which family would be the next.
Mu Fengchai nodded her head obediently, and laughed: "Yes, I will listen to my cousin. Oh right, elder cousin, do we still have the shop in our city?"
Mu Rousang thought for a moment, then said: "I've already talked about it from the beginning, about the bonus of the shop, how much will you get from the peach blossoms, and now, I'm afraid that the bonus will not enter your eyes!"
Mu Fengchai tilted her head, her cherry lips pouted, and said: "How could that be, just thinking that my cousin had opened a few stores in Xiangyang, Shu City, and Capital City, and then thought about it, I'm afraid that my cousin might not even be able to see that idea in the county."
"Speaking of which, your days are really fast, and the Chun Cao and Chun Yu by your side are also not small, have you added a new little girl?"
Speaking of the shop, Mu Rousang once again thought of the only two people who seemed to have been by Mu Fengchai's side all along, Chun Cao and Chun Yu.
"Isn't she someone who wants to bother his elder cousin? The little girl that the Aunt Liu has taught beside you is a first-rate beauty." She had already prepared a thick skin, she must get Mu Rousang to give her a few more.
How could Mu Rousang not understand her thoughts? She glanced at her and scolded: "I'm afraid that you aren't only interested in the Aunt Liu, but will also teach the little girl something."
"Hehe, cousin, you're really bad. You clearly know what I'm thinking, yet you still want to expose me. You can't pretend that you don't know and then generously give me the spring breeze and spring scenery."
Although she and Mu Rousang had written letters together, she was afraid that Mu Rousang would leave her, her cousin, in the cold once she married her.
Seeing that she still treated him as she had always done before, Mu Fengchai secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and also calmed down.
Who was Mu Rousang, she was someone who had learned martial arts. Mu Fengchai's sharp ears could not escape the change in her breathing, so Mu Fengchai reckoned that she was overthinking it.
Then he smiled and said, "You are my only cousin, if I don't spoil you, do you want me to spoil others? But spring wind and spring scenery aren't good, they are almost seventeen, I can't stay by my side forever, I plan to marry them off next year." Ah? But my cousin, I've been thinking about her for a long time. " Mu Fengchai was like a withered eggplant, slanted in Mu Rousang's arms, stuffy.
"Alright, stop acting like an obedient child in front of me. I'll arrange something else for your girl. I'll give you four different girls when the time comes." Saying that, he asked again: Other than Chun Cao and Chun Yu, have you brought any other girls?
Mu Fengchai cuddled up against her chest as she muttered in a tender voice, "Since you're already planning on tormenting your people, you naturally won't bring too much with you."
Mu Rousang did not know whether to laugh or cry, if she continued to buy people, it would be too late, so she said: "This is good, there are many people in my villa, at that time, I will pick out four wives for you, and you can even sell yourself to me as a marriage partner. Un, I have discussed it with big brother, your marriage will still be left in the capital, we will discuss about your marriage with yang-ge later."
"Cousin, I haven't even reached my prime yet!" That cocky brat, it was as if he had said that she was still a minor and was still the little flower of the Great Zhou Dynasty …
Mu Rousang looked at her helplessly, then said: "All four girls need to know martial arts?"
I heard from the Peach Blossom that there are a lot of management ladies waiting in ambush. Cousin sister, you have to ask the Aunt Liu to teach those few girls some tricks, you know my character, the most impatient would be the things that take a few turns and dozens of small intestines.
Seeing that she agreed, Mu Fengchai started to raise the price.
"Good, good, good. I'll listen to you. All the girls in my Mu family are expensive. Naturally, I won't let those private matters dirty my hands."
Mu Rousang suddenly had the urge to go back to the past. She remembered the first time she went to Shu City, it was also when she was pampered by her a hundred times.
"Young Mistress, the palanquin lady said that she was afraid that you might run into some bloody lights. Now that she's blocking your back, she asked if you could take a detour to Cat's Lane from this side alley." The ruckus outside, with all sorts of smells in it, was very disturbing and distressing.
Mu Rousang looked at the time. It was still too early for noon, and the people on the street would probably not disappear for a while, so she said: "Let's go, make a detour through the other alleys. There's nothing much to see about killing people, it's better to not scare the little ones with blood."
"Yes." Chun Yan immediately responded, he called for the palanquin ladies to carry the palanquin, and went to look for Mu Yiyang who had gone to see what was special about him.
The shortcut was not too far from the house in Cat's Lane. After walking for another hour, they arrived at the back door of Cat's Lane.
"Young mistress, we've arrived at the back door of the mansion." said Spring on the other side.
Mu Rousang thought for a moment, then shouted: "Stop the palanquin for now."
When the sedan stopped, Mu Yiyang rode over and asked: Is there something wrong with my cousin?
Mu Rousang lifted the curtain of the palanquin and replied: "Hmm, I see that everyone is exhausted, what do you think? If it's just us, then we are all family, in the small mountain village, we have never talked about so many rules, I want to bring Eldest Aunt, Feng Chai and Little Stone to the inner courtyard from the back so that we can rest early, and then you can ride your horses to the front door, bringing all these women to the front door, so that others will not have to talk too much."
Mu Yiyang understood what she meant, and laughed: "That's good, but I have to ask mother first, if she doesn't object, you guys can go in through the back door."
Mu Fengchai stretched her back and said: "I'm so tired that I'm going to die. If Mother doesn't agree, then I can just call her to come in from the front door, left and right, this courtyard is for us to live in, I can just follow cousin and bring Little Stone in from the back door."
"But this back door is a little far from the front door?" Mu Yiyang did not know the structure of the Beijing courtyard. It was probably not like the little village where one could circle from the back to the front just by stretching their feet.
