Quick Wear: Crazy Fox Calm Tree

"Yes, I like it very much." Mu Qing smiled and nodded.

"Don't you dislike strict people, sir? Lord Qin, as the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, is very strict. I have seen Lord Qin arresting criminals before, and he was particularly cold-blooded and ruthless." Chunsheng said with a frown, still feeling a little scared when he thought of that scene.

"I really don't like strict people, but I like Zijin very much!" Mu Qing looked back at Chunsheng and said with a smile.

Chunsheng was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of a night watchman outside.

"Master, it's getting late. You should rest. I'll go get you some water." Chunsheng said as he put down the ink stick in his hand.

"Well, go ahead!" Mu Qing put down the paper and pen in his hand and nodded.

No sleep for one night.

The next morning, Mu Qing was awakened by the rustling sound outside the window before he woke up.

Mu Qing half-closed his eyes and called Chunsheng, but there was no movement for a long time. He was so annoyed by the noise that he finally opened his eyes.

The sounds outside the window became more and more obvious, with waves of whistling sounds, as if there was a strong wind.

Mu Qing put on his clothes impatiently and walked to the window to see what was happening outside. As a result, he saw Qin Yu practicing shooting in the middle of the yard.

Seeing Qin Yu's agile and light figure, Mu Qing's mouth curled up slightly. He didn't disturb him, but watched quietly.

The sunlight shines on Qin Yu, outlining his agile figure. Every move he makes is full of power and beauty. He is like a dragon circling in the air, or like a sharp sword piercing the sky.

Watching Qin Yu's clean, powerful movements, Mu Qing couldn't help but feel itchy. While watching intently, his fingers moved involuntarily, as if he wanted to practice with Qin Yu.

It was not until Qin Yu finished practicing a whole set of shooting skills and looked up at the window that he discovered that Mu Qing had woken up long ago and had watched him finish the whole set of shooting skills.

The two looked at each other, their hearts beating faster, and Mu Qing was the first to look away embarrassedly.

"Good morning." Qin Yu's voice was a little low. I don't know if it was because he got up too early, but it sounded quite nice.

"Good morning." Mu Qing thought to himself.

When Chunsheng came over with the basin, yawning, he saw his young master and Qin Yu sitting there, chatting about something.

Qin Yu was holding a gun in his hand and waving it from time to time, which frightened Chunsheng so much that he quickly ran over.

"Hold one hand here and put the other hand three feet away, then stand firmly and aim at the target like this..." Qin Yu gestured with the gun in his hand, and then he saw Chunsheng running over in a hurry.

"Young...Young Master!" Chunsheng shouted breathlessly.

"What's wrong?" Mu Qing looked at Chunsheng in confusion, "Chunsheng, what happened?"

"It's alright, Master, it's time to wash up."

Chunsheng walked closer and realized that he was extremely wrong. Lord Qin did not want to hurt the young master. He was just demonstrating to his young master how to use a gun. He immediately smiled awkwardly and raised the basin in his hand.

"Okay." Mu Qing then remembered that he was so engrossed in the conversation with Qin Yu that he had not yet washed up.

Seeing that his clothes were disheveled, Mu Qing's face turned slightly red. He immediately took a few quick steps and walked into the house.

Qin Yu looked at his figure walking away quickly, his eyes full of smiles.

……

When Mu Qing and his friends arrived, there were not many people in the hall. There were only a few servants who were placing dishes on the dining table one by one.

"Uncle, aunt, good morning!" Mu Qing greeted them with a smile.

Qin Yu followed behind and nodded slightly.

"Good morning, Lord Qin. Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Mu Jinli looked at Mu Qing and asked.

"I woke up when the time came. What delicious food does uncle have for today?" Mu Qing asked with a smile while sitting on the chair.

"Don't you like eating sesame cakes? I specially asked the kitchen to make your favorite hanging oven sesame cakes, as well as some braised side dishes." Mu Jinli's face was full of smiles, and he pointed to the sesame cakes and a plate of braised egg meatballs on the table.

"These are all my favorite foods. They smell so good!" Mu Qing couldn't help drooling when he smelled the food in front of him.

"Knowing that you like it, I asked the kitchen to make some more. This time you will have enough!" Mu Jinli's face was full of smiles, and he looked at Mu Qing with eyes full of doting.

"Where are Brother Xiao and the others?" Mu Qing looked outside, but there was no sign of them.

"Don't worry about them. They may go somewhere to play!" Madam Mu waved her hands, her face full of disgust. These two children were not at home all day. They were probably either still asleep or out playing.

"Mom, why do you say that?"

"Yes, we are here!" Just as the words fell, two voices were heard from outside. Mu Wenxiao and Mu Wentian walked in from outside and said dissatisfiedly.

Looking at them coming in, Madam Mu didn't say anything, but just asked them to hurry up.

The two of them sat on the chairs next to Madam Mu. There were bowls and chopsticks on each seat. It was obvious that Madam Mu had reserved seats for the two of them a long time ago.

Seeing that everyone was present, they stopped talking and started eating.

Although the dishes on the table look a bit rough, they taste really good.

Mu Qing enjoyed the meal especially. He hadn’t eaten these things for a long time after being away for many years. Although there were similar ones out there, he always felt that the taste was different and not as fragrant as the ones here.

Today he had a big appetite and he took 1/4 of the whole meal by himself.

By the end of the meal, my stomach was so full that I sat in the chair, too lazy to even move.

"It's not that I don't give you food. You must have a stomachache after eating so much!" Mu Jinli looked at Mu Qing helplessly, with a look of disappointment in his eyes. This child is already so big, why is he still the same as when he was little?

"Isn't it that the food at uncle's house is so delicious!" Mu Qing smiled ingratiatingly.

"Okay, stop talking. Wenqing, here, drink some sour plum soup to help digest the food." Madam Mu handed over a bowl of sour plum soup, and Mu Qing took it and drank it in big gulps.

Sure enough, after a while, the stomach was no longer as bloated and uncomfortable, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

"Uncle Mu, since Mu Qing is well now, we'll take our leave first. We still need to go to Master Mu's house." Qin Yu said.

"Wen Qing, do you need to go too?"

"This incident is related to Mu Qing." Qin Yu nodded.

"Brother Qing, are you coming over?" Mu Wentian looked at Mu Qing reluctantly. Mu Qing also looked after him when he was a child, so naturally they had a very close relationship.

"Don't worry, I'll come over when I have time." Mu Qing patted Mu Wentian's shoulder. He hadn't seen him for a few years, and this kid had grown up so fast.

"Okay, then you must come then! I will pick you up then." Mu Wenxiao said.

"Yeah." Mu Qing nodded.

After a while of running around, they soon arrived at where Mu Jinyu lived. Looking at the simple house in front of them, Qin Yu and the others raised their eyebrows slightly. They didn't expect that Mu Jinyu, the most famous of the three brothers, would live in such a simple place. It was really unexpected.

"Doesn't Mr. Mu have any money?" a servant at the side asked puzzledly.

They had already been to the homes of the other two Mu masters. Mu Jinli, the eldest, was a businessman, and his business covered half of Da Zhou. Because he lived in the ancestral home, his home was the most spacious, so he could live however he wanted, not to mention a family of four, even 40 people could live there.

Although the third master Mu Jinnian is a businessman, his business is not as big as that of his elder brother Mu Jinli. However, he occupies a very advantageous position and the entire capital city is covered by his business, but there is no bigger one.

The Mu family’s house is not small, but because there are relatively few people in the family, it is not too big. It is just average, but better than the house in front of him.

Not to mention compared with the ancestral home, even the Mu family’s house in the capital is three times bigger than this.

"Although Master Mu is not engaged in business, he is very famous among literati and can be considered a great scholar. His words are worth thousands of gold, so he should not be short of money." Seventeen shook his head and said.

"If that's the case, then why do you live in a house like this? Is it for elegance?"

No one answered. Mu Qing walked to the door and knocked. Soon the door was opened. The one who opened the door was Mu Jinyu's servant - now the butler and one of the only three servants.

"Young Master Qing?" Mu You looked at Mu Qing in surprise. He didn't expect him to come.

"Is Uncle You and Second Uncle at home?" Mu Qing nodded.

"Yes." Mu nodded and quickly invited them in.

After bringing them to the living room, Mu You immediately ran to find Mu Jinyu.

Qin Yu walked around the living room, admiring the paintings on the walls and the ornaments on the table.

Although the house looks a bit simple, the decorations inside are very elegant, and many things are priceless.

For example, many of the paintings on the wall are authentic and valuable. The bottles on the table are also antiques from the previous dynasty. They can be sold for hundreds or thousands of taels. These ornaments are much more valuable than this house.

As he watched, Qin Yu suddenly asked Mu Qing.

"Mu Qing, why did you call the butler Youbo just now?"

"Because the butler's name is Mu You, I respectfully call him You Bo. What's wrong with that?" Mu Qing was a little confused.

"So Uncle Qiu's last name is Qiu?"

"Uncle Qiu's surname is Mu, and everyone in his village has the surname Mu. Uncle Qiu is called Mu Sanqiu, so I call him Uncle Qiu." Mu Qing nodded. Most of the other housekeepers' surnames were given by the Mu family, but Uncle Qiu's real surname was Mu, and even if you count several generations ago, there might be some relatives to him.

"What about Qiu Bo's son? Father and son shouldn't use the same word?"

"Qiu Ge's name is Mu Ping, and there is no "Qiu" in his name. I was naughty when I was a child, and Qiu Ge happened to be working in the Mu family at that time, so Qiu Ge was assigned to look after me and play with me.

Because I was young at the time and I knew Uncle Qiu, I always called him Brother Qiu. But actually I should call him Brother Ping, but I got used to it, so even when I grew up, I still called him Brother Qiu. "Mu Qing explained.

"Is there anything I can do for you, sir?" asked the Jinyiwei at the side in confusion.

"The housekeeper here should be the confidant of Master Mu." Qin Yu said slowly. So far, he had only seen two housekeepers with the surname Mu, one was the old housekeeper of the ancestral home, and the other was Youbo.

The former was a loyal servant of the Mu family and even followed the old man of the Mu family. It was normal for him to have the surname Mu. As for the latter, he was just a book boy, but he was given the surname Mu, which was a bit problematic.

After all, he also knew the steward of Mr. Mu Sanye, but as far as he could remember, his surname was not Mu. Although Mr. Mu Daye did not have a servant, he also had a servant who was always with him, and his surname was also not Mu. Even Chunsheng, who grew up with Mu Qing, did not have the surname Mu.

But only this one has the surname Mu.

"He is indeed a confidant. Youbo was picked up by Second Uncle from outside. He voluntarily followed Second Uncle because Second Uncle saved his life. And Youbo's original surname was not Mu. He changed it after knowing Second Uncle's surname was Mu." Mu Qing nodded and said.

Seventeen nodded in sudden realization. So that was how it was. He had indeed not found this out because the time interval was too long and the investigation time was too short, so he missed some things.

"Mu was originally a homeless orphan. Since he had no surname, he took the Mu family's surname." Mu Jinyu walked in and said.

And Mu You just followed behind him, looking very honest.

"Second uncle." Mu Qing called respectfully.

"Well, Wenqing has grown so big!" Mu Jinyu looked at the tall Mu Qing and asked with concern, "How are you feeling? I heard that you were sick a while ago."

"Well, second uncle, I'm fine now." Mu Qing said.

"It's okay, that's good." Mu Jinyu said, and looked at Qin Yu and the others beside him, "Wen Qing, who are these people?"

"This is Qin Yuqin... Young Master." Mu Qing started to speak, but before he could finish his words, Qin Yu gently touched him and Mu Qing closed his mouth.

"My name is Qin Yu. I'm here because I want to ask Master Mu something." Qin Yu bowed.

"Oh?" Mu Jinyu looked Qin Yu up and down and felt that he was not an ordinary person. He had an overwhelming aura and a nimble body. It was obvious that he practiced martial arts.

"What's the matter?" Mu Jinyu asked as he sat down on the chair.

Qin Yu took out the sign in his arms and handed it over. Mu Jinyu looked at the wooden sign in his hand, raised his brows slightly, and looked at Mu Qing beside him.

"Wenqing, what is this wooden sign?"

"Second uncle, I picked up this wooden plaque, and found that the word 'Shi' was engraved on it, and the specifications and style are wrong." Mu Qing pointed at the words on the wooden plaque.

"So you suspect that I made this wooden sign?" Mu Jinyu said as he turned over the wooden sign.

"We don't know either, but this peach wood plaque is definitely from the Mu family." Qin Yu said, "Second Master Mu, do you have this kind of plaque in your house?"

Mu Jinyu shook his head and said, "I only have one son in my family. He is over eight years old now and he doesn't wear these things anymore.

Furthermore, the previously used wooden plaques cannot be re-carved, otherwise the dark patterns on them will disappear. Wen Qing should also know this.”
