Ma'am, your silver dropped GL
Chapter 34
Chang Xiao'e didn't have a big reaction after hearing Mu Xiang say that she was going to teach her to read. In her opinion, reading is not much different from eating. If you read, you just read. Anyway, she won't be left behind when eating, drinking and having fun.So, after breakfast every day, Chang Xiao'e stayed in Mu Xiang's study to play.
The most common thing to do is imitate Mu Xiang, sit in front of the table with a book, shake your head exaggeratedly, and sneak a few pieces of snacks into your mouth when Mu Xiang is not paying attention.
Mu Xiang is well aware of her stubborn disposition, and it would be better to kill her than to ask her to study seriously. Therefore, at the beginning, Mu Xiang didn't force Chang Xiao'e to read the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs, and only used some anecdotes. Let Chang Xiao'e read small articles with strong storytelling.
Chang Xiao'e really likes it, and she is still impatient after listening to Mu Xiang's talk happily for a few days, not to mention that Mu Xiang still insists on teaching her to write. I couldn't hold it steady, so I had to write half a sheet in the morning, but beside the desk, there were a few small scripts that Mu Xiang copied in his free time, with correct brushwork and elegant handwriting.
Chang Xiao'e refused to admit defeat, pinched the pen, stared round her eyes and wrote a few more words. She stopped to look carefully, and each of them was staggering to and fro, with "scarce faces", like a group of lazy toads squatting on the white sand to bask in the sun. Just as unsightly!
At this time, it happened that Mu Xiang was not around, and Chang Xiaoe became angry with embarrassment, dropped the brush, pushed away the book, picked up the words that had been written so hard all morning, crumpled them into balls and threw them out of the window. Looking at the clear sky outside the window...
Recently, the Mu family's north-south business has been developing smoothly, and the rivers and lakes are also calm. Mu Xiang rarely has time, so he wants to take this opportunity to teach Chang Xiao'e to read and cultivate himself. Therefore, he only reads books and plays the piano every day. In addition to worrying about the next month For the old lady's birthday, the days are leisurely and carefree.
On this day, the elders of the clan came to inquire about the preparations for the birthday banquet. It was not the first time that Mu Xiang organized such a grand banquet. .After the entertainment was over, Mu Xiang remembered Chang Xiao'e, and went straight back to the study without stopping.
Pushing open the door, I saw the room was in a mess, on the desk, on the chair, on the floor, books and papers were left on the floor, a lot of thin bamboo tubes and scraps of paper were pushed in the corners, and a few knives and rulers were lying on the ground. But Chang Xiao'e was nowhere to be seen.
There is a gentle breeze, the blue sky is like washing, and in the blue sky, a huge white kite shuttles freely between the blue sky and white clouds...
When Mu Xiang came to the courtyard, she saw Chang Xiao'e standing among a group of children at a glance. Because of running, Chang Xiao'e's bun was slightly disheveled, holding the lead wire in both hands, and her big eyes were fixed on the sky. Kite.
Mu Xiang originally came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but seeing Chang Xiao'e's cheerful appearance, he was full of anger but disappeared with the wind for no reason.Chang Xiao'e's sense of crisis was as bad as ever, she caught a glimpse of her, and waved excitedly. Mu Xiang just stood under the willow tree and stared, not coming forward. Running towards Mu Xiang's direction.
"in or out?"
"Don't play."
"You are so boring!"
"You are young?"
Chang Xiao'e heard the sarcasm in Mu Xiang's words, and muttered softly, "Anyway, younger than you!"
Chang Xiao'e didn't feel guilty at all for ruining other people's books. It wasn't that she was unreasonable. In her eyes, reading was the most boring thing. She ignored the beautiful spring outside and stayed indoors to read. Never!
Chang Xiao'e would rather die than give up, and was determined not to go back. After giving the kite to the group of children, she hung her legs upside down on the tree branch, staring at Mu Xiang with a firm will, "I won't go back!"
Mu Xiang frowned. Although there is no one in the courtyard now, someone might come sometime. If someone saw Chang Xiaoe's appearance, it would cause a lot of gossip.
"Get down!"
"Come down if you don't read books in the future!"
At this time, Chang Xiao'e had already guessed that it was Suyun, that dead girl's words that provoked Mu Xiang, so that the devil couldn't wait to teach herself, "Don't waste your time, I am Chang Xiao'e, I can't become Liu Chengxue! "
"I didn't plan to turn you into Liu Chengxue, because you were Liu Chengxue in the first place!"
"I'm Chang Xiao'e!"
Hearing that she was so sure, Chang Xiao'e turned over and jumped down in a hurry, using the tricky technique learned from Mu Xiang to quickly circle around Mu Xiang, shouting while running, "I am Chang Xiao'e! "
Seeing her blowing hair, Mu Xiang yelled recklessly, knowing that it was the backlash caused by him forcing her to study these few days, and he really couldn't be too hasty if he wanted to turn her, a gangster, into a lady.Mu Xiang didn't have a big heart, she was just worried about being seen and revealing Chang Xiao'e's identity.Immediately closing her eyes and concentrating on it, she quickly found a breakthrough and stopped Chang Xiaoe in front of her body. Chang Xiaoe plunged into Mu Xiang's arms and protested with her eyes wide open.
"Forget it, don't read it if you don't want to read it!"
"Really, you are too kind!"
"How about I teach you how to play chess?"
"..."
Chang Xiao'e's curiosity about new things did not last long, and her stubborn nature burst out again like a volcanic eruption, and Mu Xiang's patience finally witnessed Chang Xiao'e's painting of a jade chessboard she had collected in the early years. All crashed after the turtle.
Mu Xiang really felt like crying when she watched Chang Xiao'e use those expensive Kunlun jade chess pieces for nothing. Chang Xiao'e only had gold and silver in her eyes. How could she understand the preciousness of these antiques? Playing blindly, I don't know how many Mu Xiang's treasures have been damaged.
"What are you studying today?"
After eating, Chang Xiao'e went to Mu Xiang's study to "play wild". Originally, she wanted to use these rare antiques to improve Chang Xiao'e's taste, but now it seems unnecessary.
"Don't learn anything, go out and play!"
"Huh? Didn't you say yesterday that you want to see the treasure unearthed 1000 years ago?"
"You remember wrongly, no!"
Mu Xiang took a celadon vase from Chang Xiaoe's hand and put it back on the shelf, staring at her like a beast to guard against a flood. Wherever Chang Xiaoe's hand stretched out, Mu Xiang's shadow followed.
Finally, she didn't have to read, write, play the piano, and paint. Chang Xiao'e went up to the roof to bask in the sun, and took the opportunity to see if the small treasury on the roof was safe and sound. Seeing that the jewelry was still there, Chang Xiao'e closed her eyes with peace of mind.
Two days later, it will be the birthday of Mrs. Mu. Everyone in the Mu residence is in a hurry, and Mu Xiang is so busy that he doesn't even care about Chang Xiao'e. There was the faint sound of carriages and horses, and not long after, the front of the Mu Mansion was flooded with fragrant cars and BMWs, and an endless stream of guests.
As Mu Xiang's wife, Chang Xiao'e, even if she didn't need to handle the affairs of the mansion herself, she still had to socialize with some high-ranking officials, noble ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families, so Suyun woke her up early in the morning, dressed up and dressed up. After repeating Mu Xiang's previous instructions, Chang Xiao'e still yawned, but just nodded mechanically.
The clothes are gorgeous and cumbersome, the long skirt drags the floor, it is very uncomfortable to walk, and the neck is heavy, and the gold and jade jewelry weigh her down. However, for the sake of gold, Chang Xiao'e had to resign herself .
Chang Xiao'e is well versed in the art of deceit and abduction, and she is very good at telling lies, but it is obviously not enough to deal with this group of young ladies with a brain, and she also needs to be polite and rhetorical. Mu Xiang tried his best to make up for it. Although he didn't learn [-]% of it, but after hearing and seeing him, he finally managed to put together a show, so that he wouldn't make any big mistakes.
At the banquet, Chang Xiao'e sat obediently beside Mu Xiang, dressed in brocade clothes, ringed with jingle bells, and the flowing clothes outlined a bumpy figure, which was naturally romantic, Mu Xiang looked back frequently, and Chang Xiao'e did not flinch Meeting her eyes, the two of them looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled for the first time. The lingering expression that could not help showing was seen by everyone. Everyone had their own thoughts and smiles on their faces. .
What Chang Xiaoe was thinking about was when she would be able to eat the dish in front of the old matriarch who was said to be the best fish king in Taihu Lake!
The banquet lasted for three days and three nights, and there was an endless stream of people visiting the door to celebrate the birthday. The voice of the actor was hoarse, and the porch in front of the door was full of flowers and delicacies.
It's a pity that the few crabapple plants in the back garden are full of fallen flowers, but no one appreciates them.
The two arrogant sisters of the Mu family didn't trouble Chang Xiao'e this time, they were all kind and pleasant, and they were polite when they met Chang Xiao'e in private. I didn't take it to heart either.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of the second day, Mu Mingxi praised Chang Xiao'e in front of everyone, praising her for being cute, smart and capable.
Chang Xiaoe's attire this time is very suitable for the old lady's eyes, and she is gentle and chaste again this time, so the old lady is a little happy again, and with Su Jinxin beside her, Chang Xiaoe She made a big splash, and at the end, Su Jinxin invited her to help sort out the birthday gifts she received this time. Before Chang Xiao'e could say anything, Mrs. Mu had already accepted for her.
Although Mrs. Mu is partial to Mu Shaoqing, but Mu Xiang is the eldest grandson after all, and her two sons are not up to the mark, and the business matters are left to Mu Xiang to resist. As a grandmother, she also feels sorry for Mu Xiang when she is young. It's easy to shoulder the burden of the family alone, so when Mu Xiang was talking about marriage, she especially liked Qin Sangyan, hoping that she could relieve Mu Xiang's worries. Now, seeing Chang Xiao'e suddenly become sensible, the old man is also happy, She readily agreed, hoping that Chang Xiao'e could learn a lot from Su Jinxin and relieve Mu Xiang's worries in the future.
How could Chang Xiao'e read the bills, gift slips, and she didn't recognize a few large characters, but she had already boasted about Haikou earlier, and it was really inappropriate to refuse now, so after thinking about it, she had to appoint and go with Su Jinxin.
Everything in the warehouse is precious, resplendent, exquisite and ingenious. Chang Xiao'e was overwhelmed, and glanced at the so-called gift list randomly, and her eyes grew on those gold and silver jewels. what a pity.
Ever since entering the room, Su Jinxin has been quietly observing Chang Xiaoe's every move. Seeing her staring at those treasures with reluctance, she already had some calculations in her heart, so she quietly winked at her maid, and came forward to pull Chang Xiao'e introduced Chang Xiao'e's hands one by one.
This is much more interesting than Mu Xiang's disheveled antiques. Chang Xiao'e carefully twirled a red gold unicorn, and the excitement in her heart was hard to express.
At that time, there happened to be a few young servants carrying several rare treasures. The gifts were all covered with bright red silk. Walking up to her sister-in-law and kneeling together, Chang Xiaoe was puzzled, not knowing what they were going to do, but Su Jinxin calmly stepped forward and lifted up a corner of the silk, 36 gold ingots lined up vertically and vertically, each with a Chang Xiaoe is half the size of a palm.
"This is for us alone!"
Chang Xiao'e was overjoyed when she heard it, but fortunately she still had her senses, "This...isn't that good!" She had never heard of such a thing, shouldn't she give a reward to the gift giver? How do you accept a gift? And rewards?
The two servants put down their things and retreated. Su Jinxin took Chang Xiao'e's hand and babbled, explaining a lot of bright and dark truths, but Chang Xiao'e still didn't dare to believe her easily. Could it be a trap?
"My sister-in-law doesn't know because she doesn't come out often. It's a common thing in a family like us. It's okay. Just accept it. If you don't believe me, look, this is a congratulatory gift from the sixth prince. It says You have to be clear, everyone has a share, you and I are on the list, even the little uncle's, this is what you deserve, so you can accept it with peace of mind!"
Is there such a good thing?But the prince, it's natural and generous, not to mention that she has a good relationship with Princess Linluo. This little girl said last month that she would give her some novelties in the capital. Could it be that this gold is what she is talking about? She is simply too caring up!
Chang Xiao'e's heart was shaken, and all she thought about next was to silently persuade herself to accept those gold ingots. Finally, she was fully prepared, and Chang Xiao'e grabbed the plate, so she didn't bother to look at the gift list. Smiling, "Okay, then I'll accept it!"
The birthday banquet will be closed in three days, and there are still many funeral affairs to be dealt with. Fortunately, with Su Jinxin's help, Mu Xiang will not be too busy. Who knows that there is a problem with the Mu family's business at this time, and Mu Xiang has to personally Before leaving, Mu Xiang personally came to thank Su Jinxin for her hard work, and asked her to do a lot of things. Seeing her bowing, Su Jinxin hurriedly stood up and helped her, "Little uncle's words really upset me. What does the family say is hard work?" Hard work, I, a woman, can help with family matters, but I can't help you with business matters..."
While talking, Su Jinxin couldn't help holding Mu Xiang's hand. Mu Xiang backed away with a smile, and avoided it calmly. Staring at the direction Mu Xiang left, the flames of resentment flickered faintly in his eyes.
The matter on the cabinet was quickly dealt with. The matter was much easier than Mu Xiang imagined. It was far less exaggerated than what they said before. Mu Xiang just thought it was caused by the guys pushing each other. He stayed for an extra day and explained the matter properly. I didn't return until later, who knows, just after returning to Rongcheng, a family member of the Mu family came to report that the mansion was burglarized last night and lost a lot of things.
How could it be such a coincidence that something happened to Mu's residence as soon as she left?
Mu Xiang rushed back quickly, and only rushed back to the Mu Mansion when night fell. Everyone in front of the door shouted excitedly when they saw the young master coming back, and word of mouth passed on. , First come to see the old lady.
At that time, everyone was present, Mrs. Mu was leaning on the couch, a maid behind her gently patted her shoulders, and there was a room full of people sitting in the dark, Chang Xiao'e was among them, although the atmosphere in the room was oppressive , but Chang Xiao'e still looked so energetic, with piercing eyes, seeing her coming, she just gave her a casual glance, Mu Xiang wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so she lifted her hem and knelt down to kowtow.
"Get up, everything is going well on the road? Is everything over there done?"
Mu Xiang got up to answer one by one, and then asked about the theft. Although it was only a loss of some property, the old lady was very worried, and it took a long time for everyone to come to persuade her to feel at ease.
"Bandits came out in broad daylight. It's not bad. Our family has never encountered such a thing. Hey, I haven't cared about things in the past few years. Let you make troubles. Is it really bad luck? , to give birth to such a disaster?"
It wasn't a big deal at first, but she was an elderly person who was sentimental, so this incident touched her heart, and she couldn't let go of her feelings for a long time when she thought of the difficult times in the Mu Mansion in the past.
Mu Xiang hurriedly smiled and said a few words of comfort, and Lu Minshi and others were there to persuade her, and then she gradually got better. However, before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard the guards in the courtyard shout, "There are thieves!"
As soon as Chang Xiaoe heard that she was interested, she finally had a chance to show off her skills after learning a lot of martial arts. She took the lead and rushed to the front. Sure enough, she saw a masked man in a black suit running towards Xiyuan. Chang Xiaoe stretched her arms He was about to catch up but was held firmly by the shoulder by a person behind him, and turned his head sharply to meet Mu Xiang's sharp eyes.
Chang Xiao'e knew that she had lost her composure, and with her current status, she is indeed not suitable for catching a thief. Besides, with this devil around, it is still unknown whether the little thief can get out alive. That's what the so-called breaking ground on Tai Sui's head is, right? !
"Come on!"
Mu Xiang shouted loudly, and there was a hint of lightning in his eyes, "Since you dare to come, don't even think about leaving!"
All the family members of the Mu Mansion jumped out immediately, bowing their heads and waiting for orders. Wu Ya stood on the ground, most of them stayed behind to protect everyone, and only a few followed Mu Xiang to track down the man in black. Walking in front of people tremblingly, regardless of everyone's obstruction, "I want to see who is so brave and dares to trespass on our Mu Mansion!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone had no choice but to follow the old man all the way, but the thief hid extremely fast, jumped several times and just happened to disappear in Chang Xiao'e's courtyard.If Mu Xiang was chasing him alone, she would probably have unscrewed that person's head at this moment, but she didn't know how many people were in the other party, and she couldn't ignore the safety of her family and only wanted to make herself happy. After some arrangements, she had already missed the opportunity.
The house is brightly lit, and stone lamps are also lit in the courtyard. A small courtyard that is not too big is as bright as day, with the breeze blowing gently, and the bamboo leaves in the corner rustle. At that time, it was night and night, and the surroundings were peaceful .
Suddenly a figure jumped out from the darkness, knelt and knelt beside Mu Xiang, whispered something, Mu Xiang waved his hand to signal Ling Feng to retreat, just as Mu Xiang opened the door, there were numerous footsteps in the distance, It was Mrs. Mu who brought the crowd forward, and there were a group of guards standing outside, all focused, watching all directions and listening to all directions.
Mu Xiang rushed out to greet her, "Just leave it to my grandson, it's cool at night, the old lady should go and rest in the house!" She insisted on refusing, and Mu Xiang had no choice but to search all the houses nearby. There was no trace of that person, only Chang Xiaoe's room was left, and Mu Xiang was by the old matriarch's side, so he asked his subordinates to search by themselves, but there was no one, but they found a bag in Chang Xiaoe's closet. Jin Zi, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, with their own ghosts in their hearts, they only looked at the old lady with their eyes, and watched how she would behave.
Chang Xiao'e still doesn't know what happened, but Mu Xiang has already guessed some reasons in her heart.
Mu Mingxi took the package from the guard, and asked Chang Xiao'e with a smile, "Chengxue, is this yours?"
A few days ago, after Chang Xiao'e took the gold back to the room, she felt that the plate was in the way, so she took this package to store the silver. Besides, isn't it her that appeared in this room?
"Yes!"
Chang Xiao'e replied without hesitation, and everyone obviously thought so too, a smile creases on the corner of Mu Mingxi's mouth, "You see clearly, it's really yours?"
nonsense!
Chang Xiao'e suppressed her impatience, nodded and smiled.
"Hmph, why are the things stolen from the Mu Mansion in your room?" Mu Mingxi suddenly changed his color and raised his voice, "What is your relationship with those thieves? Why did you collude with them and betray the Mu Mansion?"
"..."
Chang Xiao'e couldn't understand what she was talking about at all, who did she collude with?Didn't he come to catch the thief? Why are you staring at her aggressively?
"Little aunt, the matter has not been clarified yet, it is still too early to draw conclusions, give Xiang'er a little time, I will definitely find out who put the gold into the house!"
Mu Xiang's tone was flat, but it was hard to hide the maintenance in his words.
"The gold just appeared in her room, not to mention that Cheng Xue herself admitted that the package is hers. If it has nothing to do with her, no one will believe it!"
"In that case, Xiang'er cannot escape suspicion!"
Mu Mingxi seemed to be puzzled, turned around suddenly, stared at her and said, "Xiang'er, of course I am not doubting you, you are the young master of our Mu family, a nobleman who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, what are you talking about?" I have never seen such gold, silver and jewelry. From now on, everything in the Mu family will not belong to you, so there is no need to use such small tricks. Auntie, I am afraid that someone who is used to living a poor life will not be able to see these things. Heart, ruin the reputation of our Mu family!"
At this moment, Chang Xiao'e has completely figured out who Mu Mingxi is accusing Sang and scolding Huai. Looking around, she is probably the only "master" in this room who knows what a poor life is. It is great to be rich, if it is not born in a wealthy family , Maybe you have starved to death on the street!
Although Chang Xiao'e hasn't figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, she has a faint sense of who is harming her. She still remembers Su Jinxin's words clearly that day, and that "sister-in-law" sound is really impressive now that she thinks about it. Nausea, blame her for being dazzled by gold...
Seeing that she was being pointed at, Chang Xiao'e hurriedly explained the origin of the gold, but Su Jinxin bit her back, tearfully telling her that she was wronged, and then sent someone to bring a bill to correct her, but she couldn't find it at all. When it came to the details of what Chang Xiaoe said about the rewards, Chang Xiaoe didn't check it carefully at the time, and no one would believe it. After all, the facts are in front of them. For most people, the brain can never understand Synchronized with mouth and eyes!
Chang Xiao'e couldn't argue with everything, and she didn't argue at all. She stood on the ground and let the Mu sisters bombard her again and again. It's a pity that Chang Xiao'e's two fists are no match for four hands. Besides, what she is good at is fighting with meat rather than mouth. For the current plan, the best strategy is to walk!
Chang Xiao'e was secretly accumulating internal energy, and was about to run away. My aunt will never come back after leaving today. You can say whatever you like, she is too lazy to care. At this moment, Mu Xiang suddenly stepped forward and said respectfully "The two aunts kept saying that Chengxue colluded with those thieves. I wonder if there is evidence?"
Chang Xiao'e's eyes were red with heart, this devil was actually on her side!
The most common thing to do is imitate Mu Xiang, sit in front of the table with a book, shake your head exaggeratedly, and sneak a few pieces of snacks into your mouth when Mu Xiang is not paying attention.
Mu Xiang is well aware of her stubborn disposition, and it would be better to kill her than to ask her to study seriously. Therefore, at the beginning, Mu Xiang didn't force Chang Xiao'e to read the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs, and only used some anecdotes. Let Chang Xiao'e read small articles with strong storytelling.
Chang Xiao'e really likes it, and she is still impatient after listening to Mu Xiang's talk happily for a few days, not to mention that Mu Xiang still insists on teaching her to write. I couldn't hold it steady, so I had to write half a sheet in the morning, but beside the desk, there were a few small scripts that Mu Xiang copied in his free time, with correct brushwork and elegant handwriting.
Chang Xiao'e refused to admit defeat, pinched the pen, stared round her eyes and wrote a few more words. She stopped to look carefully, and each of them was staggering to and fro, with "scarce faces", like a group of lazy toads squatting on the white sand to bask in the sun. Just as unsightly!
At this time, it happened that Mu Xiang was not around, and Chang Xiaoe became angry with embarrassment, dropped the brush, pushed away the book, picked up the words that had been written so hard all morning, crumpled them into balls and threw them out of the window. Looking at the clear sky outside the window...
Recently, the Mu family's north-south business has been developing smoothly, and the rivers and lakes are also calm. Mu Xiang rarely has time, so he wants to take this opportunity to teach Chang Xiao'e to read and cultivate himself. Therefore, he only reads books and plays the piano every day. In addition to worrying about the next month For the old lady's birthday, the days are leisurely and carefree.
On this day, the elders of the clan came to inquire about the preparations for the birthday banquet. It was not the first time that Mu Xiang organized such a grand banquet. .After the entertainment was over, Mu Xiang remembered Chang Xiao'e, and went straight back to the study without stopping.
Pushing open the door, I saw the room was in a mess, on the desk, on the chair, on the floor, books and papers were left on the floor, a lot of thin bamboo tubes and scraps of paper were pushed in the corners, and a few knives and rulers were lying on the ground. But Chang Xiao'e was nowhere to be seen.
There is a gentle breeze, the blue sky is like washing, and in the blue sky, a huge white kite shuttles freely between the blue sky and white clouds...
When Mu Xiang came to the courtyard, she saw Chang Xiao'e standing among a group of children at a glance. Because of running, Chang Xiao'e's bun was slightly disheveled, holding the lead wire in both hands, and her big eyes were fixed on the sky. Kite.

"Get down!"
"Come down if you don't read books in the future!"
At this time, Chang Xiao'e had already guessed that it was Suyun, that dead girl's words that provoked Mu Xiang, so that the devil couldn't wait to teach herself, "Don't waste your time, I am Chang Xiao'e, I can't become Liu Chengxue! "
"I didn't plan to turn you into Liu Chengxue, because you were Liu Chengxue in the first place!"
"I'm Chang Xiao'e!"

It's a pity that the few crabapple plants in the back garden are full of fallen flowers, but no one appreciates them.
The two arrogant sisters of the Mu family didn't trouble Chang Xiao'e this time, they were all kind and pleasant, and they were polite when they met Chang Xiao'e in private. I didn't take it to heart either.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of the second day, Mu Mingxi praised Chang Xiao'e in front of everyone, praising her for being cute, smart and capable.
Chang Xiaoe's attire this time is very suitable for the old lady's eyes, and she is gentle and chaste again this time, so the old lady is a little happy again, and with Su Jinxin beside her, Chang Xiaoe She made a big splash, and at the end, Su Jinxin invited her to help sort out the birthday gifts she received this time. Before Chang Xiao'e could say anything, Mrs. Mu had already accepted for her.
Although Mrs. Mu is partial to Mu Shaoqing, but Mu Xiang is the eldest grandson after all, and her two sons are not up to the mark, and the business matters are left to Mu Xiang to resist. As a grandmother, she also feels sorry for Mu Xiang when she is young. It's easy to shoulder the burden of the family alone, so when Mu Xiang was talking about marriage, she especially liked Qin Sangyan, hoping that she could relieve Mu Xiang's worries. Now, seeing Chang Xiao'e suddenly become sensible, the old man is also happy, She readily agreed, hoping that Chang Xiao'e could learn a lot from Su Jinxin and relieve Mu Xiang's worries in the future.
How could Chang Xiao'e read the bills, gift slips, and she didn't recognize a few large characters, but she had already boasted about Haikou earlier, and it was really inappropriate to refuse now, so after thinking about it, she had to appoint and go with Su Jinxin.
Everything in the warehouse is precious, resplendent, exquisite and ingenious. Chang Xiao'e was overwhelmed, and glanced at the so-called gift list randomly, and her eyes grew on those gold and silver jewels. what a pity.
Ever since entering the room, Su Jinxin has been quietly observing Chang Xiaoe's every move. Seeing her staring at those treasures with reluctance, she already had some calculations in her heart, so she quietly winked at her maid, and came forward to pull Chang Xiao'e introduced Chang Xiao'e's hands one by one.
This is much more interesting than Mu Xiang's disheveled antiques. Chang Xiao'e carefully twirled a red gold unicorn, and the excitement in her heart was hard to express.
At that time, there happened to be a few young servants carrying several rare treasures. The gifts were all covered with bright red silk. Walking up to her sister-in-law and kneeling together, Chang Xiaoe was puzzled, not knowing what they were going to do, but Su Jinxin calmly stepped forward and lifted up a corner of the silk, 36 gold ingots lined up vertically and vertically, each with a Chang Xiaoe is half the size of a palm.
"This is for us alone!"
Chang Xiao'e was overjoyed when she heard it, but fortunately she still had her senses, "This...isn't that good!" She had never heard of such a thing, shouldn't she give a reward to the gift giver? How do you accept a gift? And rewards?
The two servants put down their things and retreated. Su Jinxin took Chang Xiao'e's hand and babbled, explaining a lot of bright and dark truths, but Chang Xiao'e still didn't dare to believe her easily. Could it be a trap?
"My sister-in-law doesn't know because she doesn't come out often. It's a common thing in a family like us. It's okay. Just accept it. If you don't believe me, look, this is a congratulatory gift from the sixth prince. It says You have to be clear, everyone has a share, you and I are on the list, even the little uncle's, this is what you deserve, so you can accept it with peace of mind!"
Is there such a good thing?But the prince, it's natural and generous, not to mention that she has a good relationship with Princess Linluo. This little girl said last month that she would give her some novelties in the capital. Could it be that this gold is what she is talking about? She is simply too caring up!
Chang Xiao'e's heart was shaken, and all she thought about next was to silently persuade herself to accept those gold ingots. Finally, she was fully prepared, and Chang Xiao'e grabbed the plate, so she didn't bother to look at the gift list. Smiling, "Okay, then I'll accept it!"
The birthday banquet will be closed in three days, and there are still many funeral affairs to be dealt with. Fortunately, with Su Jinxin's help, Mu Xiang will not be too busy. Who knows that there is a problem with the Mu family's business at this time, and Mu Xiang has to personally Before leaving, Mu Xiang personally came to thank Su Jinxin for her hard work, and asked her to do a lot of things. Seeing her bowing, Su Jinxin hurriedly stood up and helped her, "Little uncle's words really upset me. What does the family say is hard work?" Hard work, I, a woman, can help with family matters, but I can't help you with business matters..."
While talking, Su Jinxin couldn't help holding Mu Xiang's hand. Mu Xiang backed away with a smile, and avoided it calmly. Staring at the direction Mu Xiang left, the flames of resentment flickered faintly in his eyes.
The matter on the cabinet was quickly dealt with. The matter was much easier than Mu Xiang imagined. It was far less exaggerated than what they said before. Mu Xiang just thought it was caused by the guys pushing each other. He stayed for an extra day and explained the matter properly. I didn't return until later, who knows, just after returning to Rongcheng, a family member of the Mu family came to report that the mansion was burglarized last night and lost a lot of things.
How could it be such a coincidence that something happened to Mu's residence as soon as she left?
Mu Xiang rushed back quickly, and only rushed back to the Mu Mansion when night fell. Everyone in front of the door shouted excitedly when they saw the young master coming back, and word of mouth passed on. , First come to see the old lady.
At that time, everyone was present, Mrs. Mu was leaning on the couch, a maid behind her gently patted her shoulders, and there was a room full of people sitting in the dark, Chang Xiao'e was among them, although the atmosphere in the room was oppressive , but Chang Xiao'e still looked so energetic, with piercing eyes, seeing her coming, she just gave her a casual glance, Mu Xiang wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so she lifted her hem and knelt down to kowtow.
"Get up, everything is going well on the road? Is everything over there done?"
Mu Xiang got up to answer one by one, and then asked about the theft. Although it was only a loss of some property, the old lady was very worried, and it took a long time for everyone to come to persuade her to feel at ease.
"Bandits came out in broad daylight. It's not bad. Our family has never encountered such a thing. Hey, I haven't cared about things in the past few years. Let you make troubles. Is it really bad luck? , to give birth to such a disaster?"
It wasn't a big deal at first, but she was an elderly person who was sentimental, so this incident touched her heart, and she couldn't let go of her feelings for a long time when she thought of the difficult times in the Mu Mansion in the past.
Mu Xiang hurriedly smiled and said a few words of comfort, and Lu Minshi and others were there to persuade her, and then she gradually got better. However, before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard the guards in the courtyard shout, "There are thieves!"
As soon as Chang Xiaoe heard that she was interested, she finally had a chance to show off her skills after learning a lot of martial arts. She took the lead and rushed to the front. Sure enough, she saw a masked man in a black suit running towards Xiyuan. Chang Xiaoe stretched her arms He was about to catch up but was held firmly by the shoulder by a person behind him, and turned his head sharply to meet Mu Xiang's sharp eyes.
Chang Xiao'e knew that she had lost her composure, and with her current status, she is indeed not suitable for catching a thief. Besides, with this devil around, it is still unknown whether the little thief can get out alive. That's what the so-called breaking ground on Tai Sui's head is, right? !
"Come on!"
Mu Xiang shouted loudly, and there was a hint of lightning in his eyes, "Since you dare to come, don't even think about leaving!"
All the family members of the Mu Mansion jumped out immediately, bowing their heads and waiting for orders. Wu Ya stood on the ground, most of them stayed behind to protect everyone, and only a few followed Mu Xiang to track down the man in black. Walking in front of people tremblingly, regardless of everyone's obstruction, "I want to see who is so brave and dares to trespass on our Mu Mansion!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone had no choice but to follow the old man all the way, but the thief hid extremely fast, jumped several times and just happened to disappear in Chang Xiao'e's courtyard.If Mu Xiang was chasing him alone, she would probably have unscrewed that person's head at this moment, but she didn't know how many people were in the other party, and she couldn't ignore the safety of her family and only wanted to make herself happy. After some arrangements, she had already missed the opportunity.
The house is brightly lit, and stone lamps are also lit in the courtyard. A small courtyard that is not too big is as bright as day, with the breeze blowing gently, and the bamboo leaves in the corner rustle. At that time, it was night and night, and the surroundings were peaceful .
Suddenly a figure jumped out from the darkness, knelt and knelt beside Mu Xiang, whispered something, Mu Xiang waved his hand to signal Ling Feng to retreat, just as Mu Xiang opened the door, there were numerous footsteps in the distance, It was Mrs. Mu who brought the crowd forward, and there were a group of guards standing outside, all focused, watching all directions and listening to all directions.
Mu Xiang rushed out to greet her, "Just leave it to my grandson, it's cool at night, the old lady should go and rest in the house!" She insisted on refusing, and Mu Xiang had no choice but to search all the houses nearby. There was no trace of that person, only Chang Xiaoe's room was left, and Mu Xiang was by the old matriarch's side, so he asked his subordinates to search by themselves, but there was no one, but they found a bag in Chang Xiaoe's closet. Jin Zi, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, with their own ghosts in their hearts, they only looked at the old lady with their eyes, and watched how she would behave.
Chang Xiao'e still doesn't know what happened, but Mu Xiang has already guessed some reasons in her heart.
Mu Mingxi took the package from the guard, and asked Chang Xiao'e with a smile, "Chengxue, is this yours?"
A few days ago, after Chang Xiao'e took the gold back to the room, she felt that the plate was in the way, so she took this package to store the silver. Besides, isn't it her that appeared in this room?
"Yes!"
Chang Xiao'e replied without hesitation, and everyone obviously thought so too, a smile creases on the corner of Mu Mingxi's mouth, "You see clearly, it's really yours?"
nonsense!
Chang Xiao'e suppressed her impatience, nodded and smiled.
"Hmph, why are the things stolen from the Mu Mansion in your room?" Mu Mingxi suddenly changed his color and raised his voice, "What is your relationship with those thieves? Why did you collude with them and betray the Mu Mansion?"
"..."
Chang Xiao'e couldn't understand what she was talking about at all, who did she collude with?Didn't he come to catch the thief? Why are you staring at her aggressively?
"Little aunt, the matter has not been clarified yet, it is still too early to draw conclusions, give Xiang'er a little time, I will definitely find out who put the gold into the house!"
Mu Xiang's tone was flat, but it was hard to hide the maintenance in his words.
"The gold just appeared in her room, not to mention that Cheng Xue herself admitted that the package is hers. If it has nothing to do with her, no one will believe it!"
"In that case, Xiang'er cannot escape suspicion!"
Mu Mingxi seemed to be puzzled, turned around suddenly, stared at her and said, "Xiang'er, of course I am not doubting you, you are the young master of our Mu family, a nobleman who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, what are you talking about?" I have never seen such gold, silver and jewelry. From now on, everything in the Mu family will not belong to you, so there is no need to use such small tricks. Auntie, I am afraid that someone who is used to living a poor life will not be able to see these things. Heart, ruin the reputation of our Mu family!"
At this moment, Chang Xiao'e has completely figured out who Mu Mingxi is accusing Sang and scolding Huai. Looking around, she is probably the only "master" in this room who knows what a poor life is. It is great to be rich, if it is not born in a wealthy family , Maybe you have starved to death on the street!
Although Chang Xiao'e hasn't figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, she has a faint sense of who is harming her. She still remembers Su Jinxin's words clearly that day, and that "sister-in-law" sound is really impressive now that she thinks about it. Nausea, blame her for being dazzled by gold...
Seeing that she was being pointed at, Chang Xiao'e hurriedly explained the origin of the gold, but Su Jinxin bit her back, tearfully telling her that she was wronged, and then sent someone to bring a bill to correct her, but she couldn't find it at all. When it came to the details of what Chang Xiaoe said about the rewards, Chang Xiaoe didn't check it carefully at the time, and no one would believe it. After all, the facts are in front of them. For most people, the brain can never understand Synchronized with mouth and eyes!
Chang Xiao'e couldn't argue with everything, and she didn't argue at all. She stood on the ground and let the Mu sisters bombard her again and again. It's a pity that Chang Xiao'e's two fists are no match for four hands. Besides, what she is good at is fighting with meat rather than mouth. For the current plan, the best strategy is to walk!
Chang Xiao'e was secretly accumulating internal energy, and was about to run away. My aunt will never come back after leaving today. You can say whatever you like, she is too lazy to care. At this moment, Mu Xiang suddenly stepped forward and said respectfully "The two aunts kept saying that Chengxue colluded with those thieves. I wonder if there is evidence?"
Chang Xiao'e's eyes were red with heart, this devil was actually on her side!
