insane

"Where did you go?" Liu Mu walked into the main hall and saw Mr. Liu sitting there with a livid face, as if he was waiting for him to come back and ask for a crime.

"In, in the academy...reading the book." Liu Mu stood aside obediently with his head lowered, but he couldn't see the domineering energy just now.

Master Liu snorted coldly, "It's true that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the smell of rouge can be read even in reading!"

Guiltyly, Liu Mu sniffed the clothes, and sure enough, there was a fragrance of daughter from Zi Yan.He lowered his head and dared not speak any more.

Master Liu picked up the cane whip on the table, "Things that don't grow, don't think that I am busy with business all day and don't know what you do outside every day. Are you going to drink flower wine with those cronies again! Look Look at what you look like every day. It's a pity that you have such a good skin. How come you are such a rebellious and prodigal son in the Liu family, no good family in Jinling dares to marry their daughter to you!"

"If you don't marry, don't marry, I still don't want to marry them..." Liu Mu muttered in a low voice, but still did not escape Master Liu's ears.

"You..." Master Liu gritted his teeth, picked up the rattan whip and beat Liu Mu's back.

Liu Mu frowned, but said nothing.

"Master, Boss Yu is already waiting for you at the pawn shop." The servant stood respectfully at the door and said.

Master Liu threw down the rattan whip in his hand, "Unfilial son! Here, face the wall and think about your mistakes. If you dare to take a step out of the house tonight, see if I will not break your legs when I come back!"

As soon as Mr. Liu left, Liu Ye crept in from outside the door, "Brother, Dad is very angry these days, I heard it's because you don't marry a wife." Liu Ye ran over and took Liu Mu's hand, "Brother , now that the matchmakers for the second brother are here, why are you still not married?"

Liu Mu sighed, and said with an old-fashioned look, "There are some things you won't understand."

"You always say that I don't understand, but how can I understand if you don't tell me." Liu Ye said again, "I heard rumors in the city that you have frequent contacts with a girl named Ziyan. Could it be because of that girl Ziyan? That's why you didn't get married? Since you like that girl Zi Yan, then ask someone to come over to be a matchmaker, pay three letters and six gifts, and marry her just to pass the door."

Liu Mu said, "Things are not as simple as you think."

Liu Ye suddenly asked, "By the way, brother, didn't you say that the brothel is a place to drink? But why does it seem that Dad is not very happy every time he hears these two words. What exactly does the brothel do?"

Liu Mu didn't know how to explain that brothel and Zi Yan, so he just said, "Children don't study hard, why do they always ask about things that don't matter."

Liu Ye smiled and said, "I'm a daughter's family, and I don't need to take exams for fame and fortune. My mother said that it is enough to know the words. A woman's lack of talent is virtue, and she doesn't need to know so many things like a man."

Liu Mu smiled wryly, took out a small gold bell from his bosom and handed it to Liu Ye, "I saw it in the goldware store, I don't know if you like it or not."

Liu Ye took it and said with a rare smile, "Brother still loves me the most."

Liu Mu and Liu Ye didn't go far, when they saw the second lady sitting in the garden and said to Liu Lin as if lecturing, "You have to study hard, and in the future you will get a good name in the exam and become a majestic high-ranking official. The concubine will follow suit. When the time comes, marry a wealthy daughter or a rich man, don’t let me, a mother, worry about it. The eldest lady died early, or even if she didn’t die suddenly, she would be pissed off by your elder brother .”

"Mother! What are you talking about!" Liu Ye interrupted the second lady.

The second lady turned her head and saw Liu Mu standing behind her, she smiled embarrassedly, "Yo, when did Mu'er come back, have you met your father, he is waiting for you in the study."

Liu Mu forced a smile, "I've seen it. Er Niang, I have nothing else to do and I'll go back to my room first."

Seeing Liu Mu gone, Liu Ye chased after her, "Brother, my mother is like that, women and Taoists haven't studied for a few days, so don't care what you say."

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Er Niang is telling the truth, why would I care?"

"Brother, you were beaten by your father just now, why don't I show you if you need to put some ointment on your back or something."

"No need, I'll go to Xiangyun's place in a while, just ask her to check it out for me."

Liu Ye just pouted and said, "Every time I get beaten by my father, I ask Xiangyun to rub the medicine on you, why can't I rub the medicine on you?"

Liu Mu said, "Although I am your eldest brother, now you and I have grown up, after all, there is a difference between men and women..."

Liu Ye interrupted, "But Xiangyun is also a woman, why can she?"

Liu Mu couldn't answer what Liu Ye said, so he just said, "Where do children have so many questions. It's getting late, so don't run around in the mansion. Be careful if you get cold at night, there will be no one to replace you." You take those bitter medicines." After finishing speaking, he walked towards his other courtyard.

Liu Mu has four servants under his command, all four of them were rescued from starvation, now Liu Mu can't remember what the original names of these four people were, but after he came to the mansion, he changed their names to Jiayou and Jiajia. Vinegar, no three, no four.

Liu Mu has a weird temper since he was a child, and he usually doesn't need other servants to serve him. He only set up a porter in front of the gate of the other courtyard, leaving two guards in the porter every night.

Liu Mu didn't allow her servants to enter and leave her other courtyard casually, even the second wife and Liu Lin didn't dare to enter and leave Liu Mu's other courtyard at will.Only Liuye was spoiled by Liumu since she was a child, and occasionally dared to run around in Liumu's other courtyard, but she didn't dare to rush in when she saw Liumu was in a bad mood.However, there is another woman named Xiangyun living in Liumu's other courtyard. Xiangyun is six years older than Liumu. Not long after Liumu was born, the eldest lady bought Xiangyun from a trafficker.The eldest lady even made Xiangyun learn Huang Qi's art since she was a child, so that Liumu would not lose her identity when she was sick, so Xiangyun is the only person who knows Liumu's identity now.

Liu Mu was lying on the bed with her upper body naked, grinning her teeth, and Xiangyun said, "You really know that the master doesn't like you like this, and you still go to the brothel all day long. Now you are a famous big shot in Jinling, let alone The eldest girl hides away when she sees you, even those local hooligans who usually bully men and women are also scared away when they see you."

Liu Mu smiled nonchalantly, "Based on my Pan An appearance, if I hadn't, the girl who came to ask for a marriage would have stepped through the threshold long ago, and her seven orifices would bleed to death."

"Could it be that you want to fool around pretending to be a man all your life?"

Liu Mu sighed, and said helplessly, "There's nothing else I can do... I can't have a showdown with my father. Besides, my father loves my mother so much, if I tell this matter, he will hate my mother to death. "

"Then what about you and that Ziyan girl, you won't do a fake show, will you?" Xiangyun asked Liu Mu tentatively.

"Of course not, Zi Yan and I are just good friends." Liu Mu smiled, and touched the woman's hand teasingly, "If my father is in a hurry in the future, then Sister Xiangyun will marry me !"

Xiang Yun knocked Liu Mu's hand off, "No one is serious! Look at your appearance, you are really a disciple, no wonder those big girls outside are afraid of you."

Xiangyun is the closest person to Liumu in the mansion, and also the person Liumu trusts the most, and the two live in a separate courtyard, so the servants of the mansion have long privately rumored that the two have a close relationship, and Xiangyun is likely to be Willow will be used to fill houses in the future.

When Liu Mu arrived at the academy early the next morning, he saw that the three best friends who were usually majestic and majestic all had gloomy faces.

Liu Mu smiled and said, "What happened this early in the morning? Could it be that Xu Gong's wife and Zhang Fu ran away, and was snatched away by Xia Tong on the way?" The Zhang Fu, Xia Tong, and Xu Gong that Liu Mu said were Her three buddies.

Zhang Fu wailed, "I'm still saying, it's all because you didn't come last night. Someone won me 130 taels of silver! I don't know if I'm unlucky or that person is just a cheater." This blessing is Jinling Zhang The eldest son of the restaurant remembers that he played with Liu Mu since he was a child, and the two of them can be regarded as growing up.Although Zhang Fu is fond of gambling, he is very righteous, and has no other bad habits other than gambling.Although he has been in the gambling hall all year round, it is only due to luck, there is no skill at all in his hands, and it is normal to be tricked occasionally.

"I think it's probably a trickster. Otherwise, how could he be able to open sixteen even and it would be big." This is the eldest son of Xuji silk and satin shop in the city, Xu Gong.She was about the same age as Liu Mu and the others, and she didn't pass the exam, but her wife and concubine married seven or eight families.

Liu Mu flicked his fan, "Hmph, there is no cheater in Jinling City that Liu Mu doesn't know. Let's meet him tonight."

"Boss, it's a big loss that you didn't come last night. There's a new girl. It was □ yesterday. You didn't see that girl. She's so beautiful. We thought you'd like it if you saw it. You didn't come, it's cheap Xu Gong That kid. There are so many women in the family, and I still miss the girls in the brothel." The person who spoke was Xia Tong, the youngest son of the governor of Jiangsu, and his aunt was the favorite concubine of the current emperor.Governor Xia is an upright person, and he wants to be literate, capable of martial arts, and he was also a handsome man when he was young.But Xia Tong is not like his old man, he is tall and big, and looks a little bronze-colored, but he is not ugly with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is not very related to the handsome young man that girls like.And I don't have any ink in my chest, and I don't know a few big words.It is in response to the sentence that the limbs are well developed and the mind is simple.People don't have any ideas, they just know to fool around with people like Liu Mu.

Although Liu Mu is not very old, he has been working in the casino since he was 11 years old, and he learned some skills from a cheater behind the back of Master Liu.Although Liu Mu doesn't take this thing as a profession, his skills are not weak.These people seldom lose when they gamble with Liu Mu, but Liu Mu didn't come last night, and he was calculated to take away a hundred taels of silver.Among these people, Liu Mu has the most ideas, and he is also the most capable of playing crooked ways, so Xia Tong has always worshiped Liu Mu, and even called Liu Mu the boss, and listened to Liu Mu in everything. I can fight for my life.

Zhang Fu smiled and said, "Forget it, Liu Mu is all focused on Ziyan, how can he have the time to look at those vulgar fans."

Xu Gong mysteriously stuffed a handkerchief to Liu Mu, "It was specially reserved for you, but it was almost snatched by these two brats."

Liu Mu saw that a man and a woman hugged each other naked on the veil.Xu Gong laughed and said, "My cousin brought it from the capital. I heard it was told by a famous local painter. How about it, let's be vivid!"

"Sure enough!" Liu Mu smiled while looking at the patterns on the handkerchief, "What patterns do you all have?"

The few people stopped talking, but just winked at Liu Mu, who smacked his lips, "Don't be so mean, I just borrowed it to see it, and I didn't want to snatch it away, so why are you all staring and not talking. "

"Master..." Xia Tong whispered.

Liu Mu's eyes lit up, "What! You said the other ones were taken by the master? No way, the master is quite old, and he looks like a gentleman. Would he also like to secretly hide in the room and watch erotic pictures? It's just that Master's body...it seems that Xiangyun should make two Shiquan Dabu pills for Master to nourish."

Zhang Fu couldn't bear to look any further, and directly lowered his head and covered his eyes with his hands.The others also looked at Liu Mu sympathetically, and Liu Mu said puzzledly, "Why do you all have such expressions?"

Hearing a loud 'pop' falling on Liu Mu's ear, Liu Mu was so frightened that he was smart, Liu Mu stood up and cursed, "Who dares to scare me!" Turning around, he saw the master glaring at him with a ruler.

"Master... Master..." Liu Mu smiled awkwardly.

The master looked at the things in Liu Mu's hands, "Academy is a place for sages, and it's an insult to sages that you bring this kind of thing to the academy!"

Suddenly there was another burst of laughter, and Liu Mu and the others looked over, only to see Zhou Dahai covering his stomach and gloating at these people.Zhou Dahai is also the son of a wealthy family in Jinling City, and I heard that his uncle is an official.

Today's court officials are divided into three groups, one is headed by Zeng Pu, the current Prime Minister of the Right, and Xia Tong's father belongs to Zeng Pu's gang.There is another group headed by Feng Liang, the current Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhou Dahai's uncle is from Feng Liang's side.There is also a neutral faction who habitually shuns disputes. Today's Prime Minister Zuo belongs to that neutral faction.

Although Liu Mu, Zhou Dahai and others are not fuel-efficient lamps, Liu Mu and the others do not like to see Zhou Dahai very much, and Zhou Dahai can't get along with these people.

Seeing Zhou Dahai gloating, Liu Mu picked up the inkstone on the table and threw it at Zhou Dahai, "I'll make you laugh!"

Zhou Dahai wiped the ink off his face, "My boy, how dare you splash me!"

"What's wrong with you, I dare to hit you!" After speaking, with a big wave of his hand, the whole inkstone flew towards Zhou Dahai.

"Enough!" The master slammed the ruler on the table, "You guys, take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, go to the yard and copy the "Tao Te Ching" twice."

The sun was scorching outside, how could Liu Mu and the others stand the exposure, the Master was not paying attention, and these people slipped out of the academy.

Among the four, Zhang Fu likes to gamble the most, Xu Gong only likes beauty, Xia Tong likes to drink the most, but Liu Mu is the most powerful, she takes all of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

These few people share the same interests, and they are all unlearned and incompetent rich sons.Everyone is followed by a few small followers, as long as these four people walk on the street, it will definitely be a scenic spot in Jinling.The four of them are tyrannical in the city, bullying the villagers and robbing the women are nothing, not to mention that there is a son of an official family among the four, so no one dares to control the four of them in the city. The four are the Four Great Evil Men.

"Why are you here so early today?" A woman in purple asked the four playboys sitting around.

Liu Mu smiled and said, "I didn't miss sister Zi Yan, so I came earlier."

Ziyan poked Liumu's forehead with her hand, "You are sweet-talking, don't think I don't know, you must have been punished by the master again, so you came here to seek refuge."

Liu Mu said with a smile, "Sister Zi Yan is really smart, you can't escape your eyes."

Xu Gong jokingly said, "It's not that Ziyan is smart, it's because she has a heart for you, so she will see through everything you say."

Zhang Fu said, "Yes, I just said that the two of them are in love with each other, how can this Liu Mu have the heart to empathize with others."

Xia Tong said in a loud voice, "If you want me to say Liu Mu, you might as well marry Zi Yan back. Anyway, no girl would dare to marry you."

Liu Mu smiled embarrassingly, and Xia Tong said relentlessly, "You're showing your attitude, you don't think Miss Zi Yan is a brothel girl, right? She usually hugs and hugs, but when it's critical, it won't work... "

Zhang Fu coughed, and kicked Xia Tong hard under the table, "Who kicked me? Zhang Fu, is it you!"

Zhang Fu sighed, and turned his face away, Xu Gong didn't speak anymore, just got up and hugged the girl in his arms and went to other rooms to make a fuss.

Liu Mu said awkwardly, "Ziyan, don't worry too much, Xia Tong just has no brains, and he never thinks when he speaks. Look at me, if you want literary but not literary, you can't fight martial arts, how can you match Ziyan sister."

Xia Tong said in a gruff voice, "That's not true. Many people say that you two are both talented and beautiful, and you are a perfect match. Otherwise, Ziyan has high eyesight and only the boss is in her heart. I'm afraid that kid Xu Gong would have already made a move." .”

Ziyan is the chief oiran of Chunfeng Pavilion, she is a showman but not a person, and even makes people feel that she is unattainable, and she always rejects people thousands of miles away.But for some reason, only Liumu can get close to him.There have long been rumors in the outside world that Liu Mu spent a lot of money to buy Zi Yan, the oiran of the Spring Breeze Pavilion.Some people also said that Zi Yan had a lot of tricks, and she was so fascinated by the eldest son of the Liu family that she wanted to marry into a wealthy family one day.But the most outrageous rumor is that the two are in love with each other. Zi Yan took a fancy to Mr. Liu's good appearance. Master Liu's family education is quite strict, and Zi Yan is not allowed to enter the house, so Zi Yan raised it in private. boy.
