"That family has nothing to do with us." Chen Mu pulled the bag on his shoulder and said lightly, "From now on, you're not allowed to mention their names in front of me. Otherwise, don't follow me anymore."

She said it seriously, Chen Ergou frowned: "We will not interact ever again?"

"You heard how Madam Li scolded me." Chen Mu Mu Mu replied, "People don't fight over mantou, but they still dare to be arrogant. Being humiliated like this, not hitting others is already enough to give me face."

Moreover, Lin Mo had caught up to her just now and almost shaved off all the money from her body.

They needed money when they were out, so was it possible that she wouldn't need it when she was out?

Only in times of crisis would one's heart be revealed.

"But all of these, are not Lu Jinfeng's intentions." Chen Ergou seemed to like Lu Jinfeng a lot and even helped him defend him now, "If someone else's fault is forced on him, he will be very sad."

"Are you as sad as me?" Chen Mu Mu glanced at him, "I don't accept traitors here. If you're all for him, follow him."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Anyway, you know what, I only have fifty taels of silver here, and it's so poor that I can't afford it. If you follow me, you might even have to beg on the streets with me after spending fifty taels of silver."

"What and what?" Chen Ergou was somewhat speechless. He still wanted to say something, but when he saw Chen Mu Mu Mu's dark expression, he could only shut his mouth.

Chen Mu Mu Mu continued walking forward. Although he didn't lose his temper, after today's events, it was impossible for him to say that he was in a good mood.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke out: "From now on, your name is Chen Qingyun."

"Huh?" Chen Ergou looked at her, confused, "Why did you suddenly change my name?"

"Don't you think your name is as vulgar as a dog's?" Chen Mu Mu Mu couldn't be bothered to refute his words.

"Not bad." The corner of Chen Ergou's mouth twitched, as he resolutely defended his name, "Our father said that a cheap name is easy to support."

"Do you still think that Chen Tang, that trash of a man, is good?" Chen Mu asked.

Chen Ergou's brows twitched: "He's our father after all."

Did that mean his father was a good person? Although he felt that Chen Tang was not a person to be trifled with.

"So I scolded him a bit, and you want to protect him?" Chen Mu Mu's eyebrows shot up.

"..." "No." Chen Ergou replied weakly, "Although he gave birth to us, he did not fulfill his father's duty. He deserves to be scolded."

Chen Mu Mu shrugged his shoulders, and did not bother with the question, and only looked at Chen Ergou: "Then let me ask you, do you want to change this name or not?"

"If you don't, you're going to kick me out?" Chen Ergou asked.

"Chen Qingyun can come with me to big occasions, Chen Ergou can only look after the house, what do you think?" Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at him meaningfully, "Which path do you want to take? It's your choice."

As a man, he naturally wanted to make a living. What kind of family was he from, he was called Chen Ergou, not a real dog!

Chen Ergou replied without thinking, "Chen Qingyun will go on."

"I'm not willing to give you a high-class name." Chen Mu Mu shook his head, "There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital. In the future, you'll know how wise it is for me to change your name."

In other words, she was going to be a member of the upper class society in the capital. In the future, she would be roaming about to do business in this society.

When he was laughed at, it naturally caused her to lose face.

"Regardless of whether it is wise or not, I support your decision." Chen Ergou suddenly raised his head, and said while looking at her determinedly.

Was this the blind worship of her? Even if he crashed into the south wall with her, wouldn't he be bleeding from the head?

Chen Mu Mu glanced at him thoughtfully before replying in a light tone, "I understand."

The town they were staying in was not far from the capital, and it only took them half an hour to reach it by walking on two legs.

The noon sun was shining down from the clouds. It was clearly the early spring, but the weather was still so hot that people wanted to strip themselves of their clothes.

It was the first time Chen Qingyun had ever been to the capital city, so he stood at the city's entrance, looking at the imposing city and the guards at the entrance, then looking at the people who had entered the city from the surroundings, his eyes filled with curiosity and amazement.

With the capital's background, if Chen Qingyun, who had never come out of the countryside, was not shocked, then how failure would the capital have been?

In comparison to Chen Qingyun who was left and right looking on in amazement, Chen Mu Mu Mu's reaction was much colder and calmer.

After all, not only had she seen many of the country's cities in television dramas, she had also toured the capital cities of her time. Naturally, there was nothing of interest to her.

If there was anything out of the ordinary, it was just a matter of those different cultures.

"Little girl."

Someone nudged her arm, and there was a trace of hesitation and anticipation in his voice.

Chen Mu Mu Mu turned his head towards the direction of the arm and saw an old lady in her fifties or sixties leaning on a walking stick with a basket on her elbow. Behind her was a little girl wearing a flowery dress and both of them were looking at her expectantly.

Seeing Chen Mu Mu turn her head, a light flashed in the old woman's eyes as she spoke in a discussing tone, "Little girl, our ancestors have matters to attend to and are in a hurry to enter the city. Would it be possible for us to stand here with you?"

The woman's voice was not loud, but it was obvious standing outside the line. With her words, it immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

However, in an instant, the people at the front and the ones at the back all cast their gazes towards Chen Mu Mu Mu. Their gazes were filled with hostility and contempt.

No matter where he was, cutting in line was not something people liked.

To put it nicely, she was just cutting in line in front of her. To put it harshly, the group of people behind her had been swept away, delaying their entry into the city. Who wouldn't be worried?

Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't like people cutting in line either. Since there was such a long line in front of her, this woman actually came looking for her. She probably didn't want to be swayed by her age.

However, she had just arrived at the capital. Was it necessary for her to incur the wrath of the masses because of a woman she did not know?

When she saw her expression, she did not wait for a rejection and quickly said, sounding anxious: "Little sister, I know this is not a good idea, but I am really in a hurry to enter the city. The line here is so long, so I think it will take about an hour for it to reach the end."

Was this the reason for cutting in line?

Chen Mu Mu was unmoved.

The woman sighed as she saw this. After a moment of hesitation, she placed a piece and a half taels of silver in her palm.

"Is that okay?"

If you queue up, you can even receive silver?

Chen Mu Mu glanced at the woman and the girl behind her in astonishment. These two didn't seem like rich people, right?

To them, half a silver should be a huge amount of blood.

Chen Mu lowered his eyes as he contemplated, "Is your matter really that urgent?"

"It's very urgent." The old woman's face clearly revealed some anxiousness, "We are not cunning people. If it wasn't for the fact that we had no other choice, we wouldn't have taken this shortcut. Little girl, if you're so good, please help us out."

The woman and the little girl did not seem to be faking it. Their anxiety was clearly expressed.

Chen Mu Mu sighed before placing the silver in the old woman's hands. "Come in then."

As he said that, he poked Chen Qingyun and dragged him out of the group.

The old woman hurriedly thanked him, but she didn't quite understand Chen Mu's actions. "Little girl, you aren't lining up?"

"The people waiting at the back won't be easy either. Let's move to the back." Chen Mu nodded towards the old lady and the little girl, and dragged Chen Qingyun to the back of the line once again.

Chen Qingyun looked at the long line in front of him that looked like a dragon and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch: "Little Sister, did you run into evil today? It took us a long time to get to the front of the line, and it's almost our turn to inspect. We'll probably need another hour to do it again. "

Under such a huge sun, standing behind two long lines and lining up again was a kind of torture no matter how one thought about it.

The usual Chen Mu Mu had never been this kind. Did he eat the wrong medicine today?

Chen Mu Mu Mu remained calm: "An hour means an hour. Since we're not in a hurry, it's not a big deal to line up a little longer."

Chen Qingyun was a little helpless: "But now it's exactly the scorching sun in the sky, the sun will turn us into jerky."

"How can it be that exaggerated? Isn't it just for an hour?" "It will be over in a short while." Chen Mu cast a sidelong glance at him. "For a grown man to be so charming, I don't even know what to say to you."

Was it because of his pettiness?

They shouldn't have suffered this, right?

But in terms of eloquence, how could he compare to the eloquent Chen Mu?

Chen Qingyun was full of depression, and could only stare blankly.

Upon seeing his expression, Chen Mu couldn't help but find it laughable. "Don't be so angry. There's always a time when people are inconvenient when they're out. "It's just a small matter. If you can help, then help. If you have more friends, then just treat it as making friends."

Chen Qingyun curled his lips, not agreeing with her explanation.

Make friends?

How could an old woman and a little girl with nothing special about them need to suffer in order to make friends with them?

However, although he was unhappy in his heart, Chen Mu Mu had her reasons for doing what she did. He could only hold back his anger and obediently line up with Chen Mu Mu.

Although the lines at the city gate were long, the speed of inspection had increased a lot. Originally, they thought that when it was Chen Mu Mu and Chen Qingyun's turn, they would have to wait for an hour, but in the end, less than half an hour, it was their turn.

The city guards were probably impatient, the sun was probably high in the sky, they checked the speed, they glanced at their faces, they didn't even check their bags before letting them in.

"It's that simple?" After entering the city, Chen Qingyun turned to look at the city gate, his face full of suspicions.

"It's simple to begin with. It's just a routine inspection. What do you think?" Chen Mu said.

"Shouldn't you be asking for identity documents?" Chen Qingyun asked softly.

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. "I don't know about that, but those who are able to enter the capital are basically all natives. If they don't commit adultery and investigate the matter to such an extent, then even going in and out of the city would require a look at this item."
