Mu Rousang did not go along with the crowd to tease the groom, she really did not want to get involved with Su Ruirui anymore.
From time to time, he would hear someone call Young Master out to escort the bride, and then hear someone make things difficult for the new Young Master. It was so noisy that it was hard to hear what was being said.
At this time, Mu Jinzhi reeked of alcohol, and walked in with a flushed face.
"Big brother, why are you drinking so much?" Mu Rousang was dissatisfied in her heart, Mu Jinzhi's mission today was to carry Liu Guixiang out as a disciple.
Mu Jinzhi's head was indeed a little dizzy. He laughed foolishly: "Little sister, don't be angry. Second Sister, little brother will be carrying you on his back and out of the sect today. "
The new bride was not allowed to touch the ground since Liu Guixiang had already put a new cover over her head.
Mu Rousang said from the side, "Don't be afraid Second Sister, you can return home in three days. I will make your favorite osmanthus cake and wait for you."
"Then you have to do more for me!" Liu Guixiang was a lot more relaxed because of her words.
"Second Sister, I'm going to carry you!" Mu Jinzhi walked to her and lifted up his clothes, then squatted down and carried Liu Guixiang on his back.
Mu Rousang and Mu Fengchai followed the crowd to the main courtyard, and went through the back door to hide behind a large screen. There, a few ladies from the Liu family and their relatives were peeping, and when they saw the two sisters coming over, they politely laughed, and then secretly pointed outside the screen.
She followed his movements and peeked outside. Through the screen, she could vaguely see that the groom was looking good. She really did say, "The flowers in the fog, the more one sees them, the more one's eyes go blurry!"
After raising her for more than a decade, the precious pearl that had been pampered since childhood was now about to be married off to another person, lying on the ground waiting for her to become a woman. How could she not feel sad?
Mu Rousang seemed to have heard Liu Guixiang's cry, and her heart was also in pain. It had been almost nine years since Liu Guizhi got married, and yet she did not return home once.
At this time, a pair of soft, small hands gently grabbed her hands. Mu Rousang turned her head to look and met Mu Fengchai's worried eyes.
"I'm fine, but mother must be very sad!" she whispered.
"Cousin, I will always accompany you. I won't let anyone bully you!" Mu Fengchai looked at her resolutely.
Mu Rousang smiled, and said: "I understand your kind intentions, but my brothers and sisters still hope that you can live happily."
Mu Fengchai lowered her eyes and did not speak any further, but Mu Rousang had forgotten that she was the closest to her since they were young.
Mu Rousang also felt that she had become a lot more lonely. Her elder sister, who was clearly playing with him just a moment ago, had moved to someone else's house in the blink of an eye.
On the second day, Yang Zixuan, Mu Jinzhi and Zuo Ren were unable to accompany Mu Rousang shopping, because the students of the Xiangyang Academy had passionately invited the three of them to a poetry meet.
"little cousin, how about waiting for us to have time tomorrow before accompanying you?" Zuo Ren Xian was conflicted. He wanted to accompany Mu Rousang and also wanted to go out and play, but he was just a fifteen to sixteen year old teenager in the end.
Seeing him in a dilemma, Yang Zixuan said, "How about I accompany Xiao Sangsang to go shopping!"
Just as he finished speaking, he received four cold blades, the eyes of Mu Jinzhi and Zuo Ren Xian clearly told him to stop talking nonsense.
Mu Rousang chuckled through the veil, and said: "It's not the first time I'm playing in the Xiangyang, and with the four little girls, you don't have to worry! Besides, it's rare for you guys to come here, so you should at least have a good relationship with those students. "
Mu Jinzhi, Yang Zixuan, and Zuo Ren would definitely become officials in the future, and at least a portion of the students in the Xiangyang Academy would also enter the political arena. They wanted to make use of this opportunity to get on good terms with them.
Yang Zixuan thought for a while and said: "How about we take turns, exactly three days, I will be accompanying Xiao Sangsang today, and you guys take turns in the remaining two days."
However, Mu Jinzhi said: "I'll accompany my sister today! Cousin will accompany you tomorrow. You can rest at home the next day. How about it? " However, the last sentence he said was directed at Mu Rousang.
"Yes, I also want to go to Cai Yi Pavilion to take a look the next day, and then go through the Accounts s and see what kind of cloth and flowers I need to send over."
This was a partnership between her and Liu Guixiang, and she continued to speak: "The few embroidery ladies, some of them are not married yet, I have brought two younger ones over, replacing them, and prepared to bring them back to the capital to meet the supervisor. Zi Xuan, you have to be more careful when you return to the capital, your mask can be smaller, but you have to bring the type from the backyard, so you don't have to worry about the embroidery ladies eating and living."
Yang Zixuan quickly said: "I have already sent people to send messages to the capital, they should be looking for me. If there are suitable places, I will buy them for you."
Mu Rousang nodded her head, thinking that she had to refine some pearls in space. The pearls that could be pierced through were four to five times larger than those without holes.
Mu Fengchai was initially worried that Mu Rousang would really go out on the streets alone, but after hearing that she had her brothers to accompany him, she was slightly relieved. She opened her mouth and said, "Cousin sister, I want to go out on the streets with you as well!"
"You don't need to say this, I want to bring you along. It's rare to come to Xiangyang, so naturally, I want to enjoy the beautiful scenery here, taste the delicacies here, and buy some clothes and jewelry to go home."
Mu Yun and the Mulberry were unreliable, he had raised Mu Fengchai in front of her since childhood, and when he said that, he thought of preparing some dowry for Mu Fengchai.
After a few discussions, Zuo Ren Xian decided that he did not want to leave Yang Zixuan and went to find Liu Dahu. Mu Jinzhi accompanied Mu Rousang to sit on the palanquin prepared by the Liu family on the street.
However, Mu Fengchai was even more worried and nervous. On this day, Mu Jinzhi sent her to the Cai Yi Pavilion and reminded her, "It will probably take a while to finish reading all of those Accounts as well. I'll come to pick you up and bring you back for dinner."
Mu Rousang brought Mu Fengchai to stand in front of the Cai Yi Pavilion's gate and laughed: "Big brother, you just need to go play, don't worry, don't talk about the others.
When Mu Jinzhi heard this, he looked at the four of them sternly and said: "All of you better focus on serving the ladies. This place is not like being in the Shu City."
The few girls immediately agreed, he then gave some more instructions, causing Mu Rousang to feel that he was being long-winded, thus he brought Shi Shu and the other two servants to go ahead with their appointments.
"Cousin sister, I still want to eat that White Jade Temple's Soup. Why not send someone to buy it later?" Seeing that Mu Jinzhi had left, Mu Fengchai then pulled Mu Rousang and started to act coquettishly.
Mu Rousang laughed: "No problem, that Su Sai is indeed very fresh and beautiful."
Mu Fengchai sneaked a glance at her before secretly letting her go. Originally, she was chasing after the butterfly in the backyard all those years ago, but she did not expect to see the man that was etched in her heart. She was so excited that she wanted to greet him.
She was curious and continued to hide in the flowers. She didn't expect to see Mu Rousang coming out from Lady Liu's place, and hearing the conversation between the two, as well as the instructions from Princess Xiangyang, that was why she had been sticking close to Mu Rousang these past few days and would follow him wherever she went.
"Cousin, let's go back to Sichuan the next day!" Mu Fengchai remembered the look on the Princess Xiangyang's face back then.
Mu Rousang sized her up in surprise and asked: "Why don't you want to play for a few more days?"
Even though Mu Fengchai helped him take care of the shop and had some sort of relationship with others, she was still a young lady who had yet to experience the matters of the backyard. After listening to Princess Xiangyang's words that day, she felt that it was really strange, but she didn't know why, and faintly felt that she had ill intentions.
"No, Cousin, didn't the village's elders often say that a gold nest and a silver nest are not as good as a dog's den?!"
It turns out you're missing home. If you continue to be patient for a few more days, your brothers will have too many social events in the next few days, and I'm afraid you'll have to push it on for a few more days. Tomorrow, I still have to discuss some matters with Second Sister about the shop, so I believe that I won't be able to leave in the future.
"Oh!" Mu Fengchai agreed with a small unease.
Mu Rousang pulled her up to the second floor of the Cai Yi Pavilion, pointed to the few embroidery ladies and said: "If you have nothing better to do, then help me see how they are embroidered. Your beauty is quite outstanding now, giving them some pointers is more than enough."
She did not relax her teaching just because Mu Fengchai helped manage the Cai Yi Pavilion in the county.
Seeing that the manager had already brought the account book over to report, Mu Fengchai knew that she had to busy herself to watch the embroidery ladies work, and in the meantime, it was noon. Chun Xiao had already sent someone to buy White Jade Temple's Sai Su to return, and after the two finished lunch, Mu Fengchai went to the resting area on the second floor to sleep, while Mu Rousang dealt with some of the affairs of the Cai Yi Pavilion.
Mu Rousang busied herself until the sunset had dyed half the sky red, and more and more people started to walk on the streets, the golden red rays of the sun dyed everyone's faces red, Mu Rousang put down the brush in her hand, stretched her waist and stood up, then opened the window on the second floor to peek outside.
A little embroidery lady saw it and smiled and said, "Young lady must be tired after a busy day!"
Mu Rousang leaned on the window and looked outside, then said: "This street is even more prosperous than the last time!"
But now, Xiangyang Academy's reputation has spread far and wide, and there's a great scholar overseeing it. This student seeking knowledge, it's only just after the summer harvest, and there are still many students who have not returned home. After the autumn harvest, every time Xiangyang Academy recruits new students, there would be a sea of people waiting for them.
Mu Rousang wrinkled her nose and said, "Eh, where did this aroma come from?"
An embroidery lady asked, "Miss is probably talking about that snack bar at the west end of the street. Her family's fried snacks are extremely delicious."
