Chapter 51

"Mu Juren, shall we go to a restaurant now?"

Zhang Cheng specially asked Mu Chenxi to go with him because of Wang Qingquan's invitation.

"Yeah."

Mu Chenxi put away her thoughtful expression, stood up and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'll go talk to my wife."

"Okay." Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

He was not surprised by Mu Chenxi's behavior. He had already seen that they valued each other very much, but now he couldn't tell who valued each other more.

"Daughter-in-law, Brother Zhang and I went to a restaurant."

Mu Chenxi found Zhao Huan and informed him of his whereabouts. The smile on his face was still there, not as deep and distressed as before.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

After Zhao Huan said that, he put down the things in his hands and got up to accompany Mu Chenxi to the restaurant. This was what he had promised.

"No need."

Mu Chenxi held his shoulders and prevented Zhao Huan from getting up, and said: "Daughter-in-law, I am not a child, I don't need you to accompany me."

Zhao Huan was a little dumbfounded. It wasn't that he was pestering him and didn't want to be separated from her. I just coaxed him to accompany him to the restaurant!

Mu Chenxi looked serious and solemnly told Zhao Huan: "I am very independent and can do things by myself. Just don't worry."

"Well, I don't worry, Chenxi is the best."

Zhao Huan carefully observed his expression and looked at his expression this morning . Whether the incident left a shadow on him, he found that Mu Chenxi was not as active as before. He

couldn't help but asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy? Are you uncomfortable?"

He stretched out his hand to touch Mu Chenxi's forehead, and he grabbed it, "Daughter-in-law, I'm fine, don't worry."

Mu said Chen Xi gave him another big smile, her eyes were pure and full of childishness, and she said to Zhao Huan coquettishly: "I don't want my wife to accompany me. It would be too lonely for you to wait for me outside alone. It makes me feel sad just thinking about

it ." He put his face against Zhao Huan's hand and said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law, have a good meal at home. When I come back, I will give you a pat on the back and bring you delicious food."

"You are the only one who can speak."

These few words were added again. In Zhao Huan's heart, he couldn't help but sigh: Mu Chenxi can always touch his heart, and he is warmed by him all the time. Life and death are reincarnations, and it is the luckiest thing for him to meet him.

He gently rubbed Mu Chenxi's cheek a few times and said softly: "Then you go, I'll wait for you at home. Remember to drink less wine, you won't get drunk easily. I'll make you a hangover soup and drink some when you come back. It doesn't hurt."

"Well, my wife is the best."

Mu Chenxi cheered, suddenly approached Zhao Huan, lowered her head and touched Zhao Huan's forehead and said affectionately: "My wife is the best, no one can compare with her. Come on."

Zhao Huan was startled. He didn't expect Mu Chenxi to suddenly come closer and act so intimately. This was the first time and he didn't react immediately.

Mu Chenxi looked at Zhao Huan with red cheeks. Seeing him looking at her blankly, she felt more and more good about him and wanted to get closer to him.

But he still had something to do. Thinking of this, he shook Zhao Huan's hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'm leaving and I'll be back soon."

Zhao Huan watched him go out, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and felt that his face was hot, as if he was Mu Chenxi's. The breath is still in front of me, and the heat wave that touches my skin lingers for a long time.

.........

"Brother Mu, Brother Zhang, you are here."

Wang Qingquan and the others had already arrived at the restaurant and were waiting for them in the private room on the second floor. They all stood up to greet them when they arrived.

"Sorry, I'm late and kept you waiting."

Mu Chenxi held up his hands and said polite words. He was not as casual and carefree as before, and his expression was very solemn.

"It's not too late, it's because we came early."

Liu Wenqing was not surprised by his attitude and said with a smile: "This afternoon, I invited Brother Wang and Brother Li to go out for a walk, and I will wait for you at the restaurant directly when I come back, so it's early Order some."

He invited Mu Chenxi and the others to sit down, and then poured tea for them. He asked them to order attentively, "We have already ordered a few dishes. I don't know if you want to order a few more dishes.

" Zhang Cheng left the matter directly to Mu Chenxi. He had never even been to a small restaurant, so how could he understand the food in this restaurant.

Mu Chenxi ordered a few dishes at random. He didn't have the mind to think about food and drink now. He kept thinking about what happened during the day, and was afraid that Zhao Huan would be retaliated by Na Luo Er Shao if he was not at home.

According to the uncle who sells meat, Mr. Luo often bullies men and dominates women. If he likes her, he will come to his house and take her as his concubine. If he doesn't obey, he will pester her endlessly.

If his eldest brother, Mr. Luo, didn't need fame to take the imperial examination, he might just come to rob people. Even so, there are many coercive things done behind the scenes.

"Brother Mu, why don't you speak?"

Li Shaojie asked strangely when he saw that he was silent and acted differently from usual.

When he said this, Wang Qingquan and Liu Wenqing, who were chatting happily, also looked over, wondering why he was so quiet today, and even his bright smile was gone forever.

Mu Chenxi met their gazes, her eyes gradually became dark, and said: "There are some private matters that should not be discussed, but living in this small town, the sources of information are relatively limited, so I want to ask Brother Li and Brother Wang."

"Brother Mu wants to know . What news?" Wang Qingquan asked curiously.

He didn't know much about the affairs of the county. If he knew it, he would definitely not hide it. He just hoped that what Mu Chenxi was prying into was not other people's secrets or government affairs, which would make him very embarrassed.

"I want to know how the county captain is as a person and how his official conduct is?"

Mu Chenxi looked at Wang Qingquan and Li Shaojie indifferently, with a calm face that made it difficult to understand his intentions, but there was little seriousness in his eyes.

"This."

Wang Qingquan couldn't help but look at Li Shaojie. It's not like he couldn't say these things. Mu Chenxi could find out from others. Of course, it was all superficial.

He just didn't know whether to go into more detail, tell Mu Chenxi the news that was circulating on the surface, or dig deeper and tell Mu Chenxi some secrets.

"Why is Brother Mu interested in the county captain? Is there anything related to it?"

Li Shaojie caught Wang Qingquan's look and looked at Mu Chenxi with a slight smile, as if he was concerned about an ordinary friend.

Mu Chenxi felt that there was no need to hide this matter, so she immediately told what happened today, especially Luo Ershao's nature and reputation.

"This matter could have gone away, but with his nature and past style, he will definitely not let it go. I can't passively wait for him to stir up trouble and put my wife in danger."

Mu Chenxi glanced at Li Shaojie and Wang Qingquan, Said: "How can you guard against a thief for a thousand days? Since he is a hidden danger, you must find a way to eliminate it and not be in a passive position."

"Hi!"

Wang Qingquan shook his head and sighed, looking at Mu Chenxi with a trace of regret in his eyes. , "If anyone says that Brother Mu is injured and becomes stupid again, I will slap him with a big mouth."

Just because of the rumors, he didn't look like Mu Chenxi, which was why he repeatedly felt embarrassed in front of Mu Chenxi. He had never been like this before . Too embarrassing.

"Is the county captain related to Luo Ershao?" Li Shaojie asked.

"It's his uncle. He usually uses his status as a county lieutenant to show off his power, and even the town government officials dare not interfere with his affairs."

Mu Chenxi explained the relationship thoroughly, "If the county lieutenant really protects him, he will help the emperor to do it." I will definitely file a lawsuit and never give up. I can't let this villain continue to run free and make people in the town panic when they see him."

"In the beginning, he did take advantage of the county captain and family background to act recklessly, but he got into trouble twice. After informing him, the county captain suppressed him, and the family would be strict with him if he did anything else."

At this time, Liu Wenqing said weakly: "But his grandmother, because his eldest brother has been studying abroad all year round, is not interested in him staying at home and being ignorant. Baby Gada is very fond of him. Because of this, he rapes, robs, and wants to marry her. He won't give up if he doesn't agree, and goes out to ruin people's reputations. "

"Oh!" Liu Wenqing sighed: "Who dares to fight with him? The ones he likes are those who come to ask for marriage. They can only marry in mountain villages. It is difficult for men to marry in the town. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get married in

the county . The captain's reputation is pretty good, and he hasn't heard of any violations of law or discipline."

After Li Shaojie heard this, he briefly introduced the county captain. He didn't have a bad reputation, and they didn't know anything about his nephew Luo Ershao.

"Of course some things will not be spread to the outside world."

Liu Wenqing said unconcernedly: "If he did something bad or protected his nephew, can it be spread to the outside world? Although Er Shao Luo did not do anything serious, this leper... The behavior of "Toad" is really troublesome. Several families in the town have been victimized, and their sons and daughters have left the town. There is no way to appeal, and there is no evidence of actual victimization. "

He just came to ask for marriage. There is no way. " How can you accuse someone of robbing, not beating, and not hurting anyone?"

Mu Chenxi smiled coldly and said, "I wonder if it was Mr. Luo or his family who came up with such a method. When people were helpless, they I can't accuse him of his evil deeds. I can only bear the consequences and let Mr. Luo be free and let people know how much he can't afford it."

After

hearing these words, Wang Qingquan thought for a moment and said to Mu Chenxi, "What if. That Second Young Master Luo is really looking for trouble. I can talk to my father and ask him to make peace with the county captain .

"

He would not be willing to do this. He also wanted to go directly to the Luofu family to ask for an explanation, but after hearing what Brother Liu said, with his grandmother protecting him, it was still unclear whether he could really stop and not take revenge. "

Mu Chenxi doesn't want to talk about this matter anymore. As Liu Wenqing said, it's impossible for the county lieutenant not to protect him. No matter how good his reputation is, he still needs to be close.

He keenly felt that Li Shaojie and Wang Qingquan had different attitudes for a moment. Although he didn't know why, he didn't want to plead with them.

"Listening to what you are saying, Second Young Master Luo is indeed a playboy, but he has not yet reached the stage of serious evil. Let his family strictly control him, and maybe he will change slowly."

Li Shaojie said slowly: "Such a lustful person, He usually doesn't have much ability, but he just relies on his family and his grandmother's favor, and he just takes luck and doesn't regret it. "

At

this time, the waiter served the dishes one by one, and Mu Chenxi changed the subject and said, "Zhang and I. Brother Mu is not good at drinking, so let's have a drink and you can enjoy it."

"Brother Mu and Brother Zhang are not good at drinking, so let's get together a few more times and we'll get better at it."

Wang Qingquan said with complicated eyes. Looking at Li Shaojie, his expression showed some disapproval, and his attitude towards Mu Chenxi became more enthusiastic, as if he wanted to make up for something.

Li Shaojie shook his head slightly and turned a blind eye to Wang Qingquan's complaints. He just continued to laugh with everyone as if nothing happened.

Although the atmosphere was warm, Liu Wenqing and Zhang Cheng still felt different. The scene was awkward for a moment, but Mu Chenxi didn't feel any strange. She had a light expression and occasionally chuckled as she participated in their conversation, inexplicably much calmer.

.........

"Daughter-in-law."

After the party broke up, Mu Chenxi and the others went downstairs. Before they reached the door, he saw Zhao Huan standing not far from the restaurant.

His smile suddenly spread, he ran to Zhao Huan, held him in sign language and smiled softly: "Daughter-in-law, I knew you would come to pick me up." "

Yeah."

Zhao Huan looked at his blushing cheeks and his eyes were misty and intoxicated. Knowing that he was drunk, she held his hand and smiled: "I know you don't like drinking and you don't have much alcohol capacity, so I came here to see if you were drunk."

"Not drunk, not drunk."

Mu Chenxi's eyes were clear at this time With a touch of haziness, his mind was clear but his emotions were out of control. He was a little excited and a little uncontrollable.

He refused to admit that he was drunk. He was sober and understood everything. He only drank such a small cup, how could he be drunk?

Mu Chenxi didn't like drinking, and she promised Zhao Huan not to drink too much, so she didn't add more wine after one glass. She only drank some reluctantly out of politeness and social entertainment needs.

Mu Chenxi sneered at the argument that a man could not drink even a sip of wine and that he should be so passionate that he could not get drunk after a thousand cups. If he didn't drink, he would not be a man.

Just now he criticized Wang Qingquan and the others, how can any of you say that I am not a man? I just don't drink a sip of wine, and I'm even more handsome than you, but who can tell that I'm not a man?

I have everything you have, except for drinking, there is nothing else I can do better than you. On the other hand, apart from this, in what other way are you much better than me?

If we are really competing to see who is worthy of being a man, why don't you talk about your advantages and see where you are better than me? Apart from drinking and having fun, I really don't find any difference between you and me.

"Yeah, you're not drunk. How about we go home?" Zhao Huan said softly.

"Well, go home, let's go home."

Mu Chenxi shook his head, turned around and waved to Wang Qingquan and the others, leaving two words: "Let's go." Then he pulled Zhao Huan and walked home.

The two stood side by side, their silhouettes stretched long under the moonlight, and slowly blended together, cuddling together as if they had become one person.

Wang Qingquan and the others only heard a sentence coming from the wind in the distance, "Daughter-in-law, I will give you a pat on the back when I go home."

Chapter 52

Under the cold moonlight, Wang Qingquan looked up at the sky. The dim moonlight reflected that his expression was not good, and he stood there without moving.

Li Shaojie shook his head slightly when he saw this scene. He was too frustrated. There were some things that he couldn't tell because he didn't know.

Liu Wenqing and Zhang Cheng looked at each other and remained silent. They wanted to go back to the academy together, but looking at the situation, they couldn't rush them and could only wait aside.

"Alas!"

Li Shaojie ignored Wang Qingquan and sighed and said to Liu Wenqing and the others: "Brother Liu and Brother Zhang, you know that we are from the county seat, but you don't know our specific identities yet!"

"My father is the chief registrar of the county government. "Qingquan's father is the official of this county." Li Shaojie smiled bitterly, "We have only known each other for a short time, and we haven't had time to talk about our family backgrounds. We are sincere friends, and it has nothing to do

with status."

Mu Juren knows about your family background and wants to ask for your help, so why didn't you reveal your identity in the restaurant just now?"

Zhang Cheng said in a bad tone. He is from a poor family and has no qualifications to associate with these officials' children, and he doesn't want to climb high. It's all because Mu Chenxi was with them, and he wanted to take care of them.

But they keep talking about making friends, but when Mu Chenxi is in trouble, they even refuse to be honest about their identities. What does this mean?

"Ahem." Liu Wenqing was afraid that the atmosphere would be too tense, so he hurriedly interrupted Zhang Cheng, "If you have something to say, please say it. Mu Juren doesn't mean that, and Brother Li and the others probably didn't mean to hide it."

He actually didn't quite understand Li Shaojie . What did he mean by not saying it to Mu Chenxi just now, but now he told the two of them?

"Just look at him and you will know."

Li Shaojie raised his head and looked at the moon. It was actually Wang Qingquan who was depressed. "He is just like you. He doesn't understand why I didn't tell the truth just now and is now sulking with me!"

Next Li Shaojie Only then did they understand their confusion, understand what Li Shaojie really meant, and sigh that some people are just delicate.

Li Shaojie's family came from a poor family and he had no connections in the officialdom. Although his father was the chief clerk, he was actually not as good as the county captain.

Wang Qingquan's family background is better, and he is a typical official family, but he is not very outstanding. Only a cousin who is ranked fifth in Rongdu can show more, and he has no abilities that are too scary.

The county captain, on the other hand, had real people on top, with relatives and connections all over the city. It was said that he also had some connections in Rongdu, which made the two families quite afraid.

Fortunately, the county captain is a good person and does not behave in a superior or unbearable manner. The county government is relatively stable inside and outside the county government, and the administration of officials is also clear.

"If I reveal our identity, I have to explain these things to the county captain in detail. Wouldn't it make Brother Mu more sad when he is troubled?"

Li Shaojie explained to Liu Wenqing and Zhang Cheng, and also to Wang Qingquan, "Second Young Master Luo Even if these things are reported to the government, there will not be much punishment. On the contrary, it will be easy to get angry, which will be detrimental to Brother Mu and the others."

He paused for a moment to let them digest his words, and then continued: "If so. Like Brother Mu said, he still wants to come to him. He is just a person with a great reputation. The Luo family doesn't need to give him face. If he doesn't, he will fall out on the spot. Brother Mu can't get anything good. "

This is a small favor for him. They broke things down so that they could understand the power of it and avoid shooting themselves in the foot.

Now even Wang Qingquan understood that this matter may not seem big, but it is indeed a bit tricky. If he can't handle it well, he will get into trouble.

"But we can't sit idly by and watch Brother Mu in trouble without us helping him."

Wang Qingquan was still angry, not at Li Shaojie now, but at that disgusting thing, Er Shao Luo. He can actually think of ways to deal with people, so that others can't tell them about their sufferings, and appeals to others will not help, and it will not have a big effect.

"Didn't you just say that you wanted to ask the family to find the county captain to make peace? This is the only way now."

Li Shaojie thought about it and said: "We all send a message back. We must ask the family to find the county captain to suppress this matter. Don't let Luo Ershao We can't do anything else."

If it comes to standing up for the people in the town, asking for justice or restraining Second Young Master Luo from misbehaving in the future, Li Shaojie feels that they can't do it yet.

They were troubled here. They looked at each other and couldn't think of a better way. Little did they know that their abilities were limited and it was only a matter of words to let capable and capable people solve the problem.

.........

The next morning, Zhao Huan opened his eyes and looked at Mu Chenxi beside him.

His eyebrows were stretched, there was a smile on his lips, and he was sleeping soundly.

I remembered that he came back yesterday and was so drunk that he couldn't open his eyes. He pestered me to wipe his hair and mumbled about a glass of wine. He was either drunk or a little sleepy.

After getting into bed and lying down, he snuggled up next to him like a cat and fell asleep directly.

Zhao Huan stretched out a finger in a funny way and poked Mu Chenxi's sleeping red cheek, "What a little drunk cat."

It seemed that Mu Chenxi couldn't get up to cook today. Zhao Huan put on his clothes lightly and went out. Prepare breakfast for him.

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi didn't see Zhao Huan when she woke up. When she came out of the room, she saw him carrying a basin of water. She immediately smiled and said, "Bring me some water."

"Well, go wash up quickly. The meal is already ready. Yes."

Zhao Huan smiled and gave him the basin, then turned back to the kitchen to serve him food.

Sweet rice porridge, two eggs that are always available every day, delicious pickles, and two dishes that Mu Chenxi ordered in advance at the restaurant yesterday, the breakfast is very rich.

Yesterday, Mu Chenxi was full of melancholy, drank some wine and did not eat well. Now seeing a table of delicious food, my appetite suddenly whets.

Zhao Huan saw that he was eating well and knew that he must not have eaten well last night, so he reminded him: "Drink more rice porridge to warm your stomach."

"Well, my wife is really nice."

Mu Chenxi smiled sweetly and gave Zhao Huan a sweet smile. Huan picked up the vegetables he liked, "Daughter-in-law, eat more, it's all what you like."

"Okay." Zhao Huan ate the food in the bowl that was almost full, and playfully raised the bowl to Mu Chenxi Look, "We've all finished eating."

Liu Chengxin, who was sitting aside to eat, tried hard to reduce his presence. Every time he ate, he would be disturbed by the sweet atmosphere of Mu Chenxi and his wife, but he was afraid of disturbing the warmth and was unwilling to make any noise.

After dinner, Zhao Huan sent Mu Chenxi to the entrance of the academy.

After Mu Chenxi got out of the car, she worriedly told Zhao Huan: "Daughter-in-law, don't go out if you have nothing to do. Wait for me to go back and accompany you wherever you want. If something happens, someone must come to me. Don't be wronged alone."

"I know ." I'm not going anywhere."

Zhao Huan knew that he still remembered what happened to Mr. Luo yesterday, and comforted him with a smile: "There are so many things going on in the shop, and I don't have time to go out. Besides, you don't have to worry about anything. Big brother and the others are here."

After sending Mu Chenxi to the academy, Zhao Huan frowned: It seems that Luo Ershao's incident has had a big impact on Mu Chenxi. Looking at his nervous look, he felt in his heart. It was both touching and satisfying, but also heartbreaking.

.........

"Teacher."

Mu Chenxi followed Jiang Haohai out of the school building. He had many questions and wanted to ask the teacher for advice.

"Morning light?"

Jiang Haohai was stopped by him and looked back at him with a sad face. This was the first time he had seen him look like this.

To be able to find him here, the child must have encountered difficulties. He asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is there anything difficult?"

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi nodded honestly, "Teacher, I don't understand something. I want to Please tell me, teacher."

He told Jiang Haohai what happened yesterday and the conversation with Li Shaojie and his friends in the restaurant.

He didn't say any of this to Zhao Huan because he didn't want Zhao Huan to worry about it. At the same time, he felt that he was too useless and could not protect him or seek justice for him.

"Teacher, is there really nothing we can do? Although Second Young Master Luo's behavior is not too bad, it is still disturbing. Some people are afraid of me and even leave home."

Mu Chenxi blinked with innocent and confused eyes . , said distressedly: "Is it true that he can't be punished for doing bad things? Just let him continue to behave like this."

"Why can't he be punished? Who said he can't be punished?"

Jiang Haohai felt distressed when he saw his aggrieved appearance. It was outrageous that his disciple was being embarrassed like this. His usually calm heart was now filled with anger.

"But if you go to the Yamen, this kind of behavior is not a big crime. It may cause more trouble. If you go to his home, you will probably be protected by your family. If there is a conflict, you may be beaten up by them. No matter what, the gain outweighs the loss. "

Mu Chenxi depressedly told his teacher what was in his heart. He had thought a lot about this matter, and what he wanted to do most was to slap Luo Fu and vent his anger on Zhao Huan.

Of course, it would be best if we could find a way to prevent Mr. Luo from harming the people in the town in the future.

How could Jiang Haohai not understand what he said.

After going to the government, the reputations of those hundreds of people could not be saved, but were still ruined.

Luo Ershao's behavior is really disgusting. There will not be much punishment according to the law. It is nothing more than a fine of silver or a few slaps.

With the county captain here, it's impossible to get beaten. Even if you can, you can also push others to prevent disasters. Even ordinary people know these things.

It is even more impossible to go to Luofu to seek justice. Judging from what is happening now, it is impossible for the Luo Mansion to be completely unaware. When the time comes that they will hurt people or file a lawsuit against the government, these ordinary people will not be able to live without it.

Even Mu Chenxi's fame as a civil servant is in vain. Facing the government and those powerful and unkind people, all he can do is suffer.

In particular, Mu Chenxi was born as a commoner and had nothing to rely on. He just had a good reputation. The common people were in awe and did not dare to provoke him easily. Other capable people would not take it seriously.

Jiang Haohai reached out and rubbed Mu Chenxi's head with a treacherous smile, "You have a good idea. It's much better to fight them in Luofu than to sue the officials. We Chenxi are smart."

Mu Chenxi's eyes suddenly widened and he asked in surprise. : "Is it really possible? It won't hurt my relatives and tribesmen, and it won't make my wife worried?"

Just after he finished speaking, his expression became sluggish again, and he shook his head repeatedly: "No, if we are really not afraid of a fight, our tribe and our tribe will not be afraid." There are many people in the village. But if we go to the government and the county captain is here, we will definitely lose."

"Haha."

Jiang Haohai looked at Mu Chenxi with a smile, he was such an innocent child, "He has the county captain to rely on, don't you have someone to rely on? "How can you be afraid of them?"

"Ah?"

Mu Chenxi was confused. Seeing Jiang Haohai's inscrutable expression, he pulled him to act coquettishly and leaned against him and said in a gentle and flattering tone: "Teacher, please teach me. Chenxi, the disciple is depressed!"

"Hahaha"

Jiang Haohai laughed heartily. This was the first time that Mu Chenxi snuggled up to him. She usually saw him getting close to Jiang An and left her as a teacher aside. Now she can finally do it. Enjoy the feeling of intimacy and dependence as a disciple.

"You don't have to fight it yourself, that would be too shameful for them. As long as you show your support and find someone with weight to inform you, it can be solved completely."

Jiang Haohai sighed: "It's just a small matter, just take a look. If you are worried, the teacher will teach you the twists and turns here and help you. Don't you want to vent your anger? "

...

In the afternoon, Zhao Huan suddenly received a message from Luo Fu. The apology sent to him made him baffled and at the same time he felt keenly that it was not simple.

Steward Luo's carefully flattering eyes, flattering words, and generous apology were not actions he made when he discovered that his young master had done something wrong.

Especially if he repeatedly emphasized that the master had already taught Luo Ershao a lesson, and now he was so angry that he was lying on the hospital bed and could not come to apologize in person.

Until he went to pick up Mu Chenxi in the evening, and saw his high-spirited look, he suddenly felt a little confused, and he had to go home to find out more details.

"Daughter-in-law."

When Mu Chenxi saw him, she immediately snuggled close to him, "I miss you so much."

Zhao Huan laughed, as he would do this every day, "Well, I miss Chenxi too."

"Daughter-in-law. "Mu Chenxi blinked his eyes, filled with secret joy.

"I learned a lot from the teacher today, it's so useful!"

Mu Chenxi happily took Zhao Huan's arm and taught Zhao Huan what Jiang Haohai taught him, and finally said proudly: "Daughter-in-law, here you go We took it out and smashed up Luofu. This time they won't dare to bully you."

Chapter 53

Luo Mansion, Mr. Luo came back from Fucheng today and brought good news. Their young master Luo has successfully married the young lady of the Fucheng Tongpan family and will be going to hire him soon.

"Haha."

Mr. Luo laughed heartily: "Madam, our eldest son's marriage went very smoothly this time, and it was all thanks to his uncle. Madam will have to come and say thank

you someday." "You don't have to tell me."

Mrs. Luo He smiled and said, "I've been there several times before. Everything has been arranged. Don't worry, Master."

"Master, Master, it's not good."

A boy ran in in a panic, with a face full of fright and threats, and he couldn't speak clearly. Just shivering all the time.

"Asshole."

Mr. Luo was happy when he was interrupted. He looked like this again and immediately yelled angrily: "You unruly thing, why are you so panicked? Isn't it possible that the sky is falling?"

"Master, Master."

The boy came to his senses after being scolded by him, and stammered: "The sky is not falling, but, but it's about to fall. Our house is surrounded by officers and soldiers, and we are told to hand over the second young master, otherwise we will attack immediately. Come in."

"Master, Master."

At this time, another young man came in, "Master, a group of officers and soldiers broke in and smashed the door, asking him to hand over the second young master."

"What did the traitor do again?" , yelled at his wife.

He didn't have time to settle accounts with his traitor now, so he hurriedly ran to the front yard to see who dared to break into Luo Mansion. Didn't he know about Luo Mansion's relationship?

.........

Liu Qingfeng led a team of people to the gate of Luo Mansion, and asked people to yell at Luo Ershao to hand over Luo Ershao. He saw the doorman and ran to report.

He waved his hand directly and said, "Smash it."

The soldiers behind him rushed directly into the Luo Mansion, smashing everything they saw, which was called a neat move, leaving nothing behind.

Liu Qingfeng dismounted and walked into Luo Mansion. Watching his subordinates smashing them all the way, he nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, that's how it should be."

"Guard, is it okay to smash like this?"

Zhang Huren was honest about his duty. Although he has been a soldier for many years, he has never done this to others. The family was showing off their authority and felt a little uneasy for a while.

"Alas!"

Liu Qingfeng sighed, looked up at the sky and said, "This means that if you do any unrighteousness, you will be punished. If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, you should be lucky to have this fate."

Naturally, he couldn't understand specific matters. Said, but he was really right about what he said. They just smashed some things to vent their anger, and they didn't do anything serious. Luo Mansion really deserves to be celebrated.

"Who are you?"

Mr. Luo hurried to the front yard and saw some soldiers smashing Huan. He immediately shouted angrily.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to him, as if he had never appeared. They continued to smash when it was time to smash, and there were guards around, so they didn't need to pay attention to these things.

"You, you guys stop."

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Mr. Luo was so anxious that he kept shouting at them everywhere to stop, but no one looked at him and he did not dare to stop them.

"Is there any more royal law? What are you doing?"

Mrs. Luo arrived shortly afterwards. Seeing the messy scene in front of her, she couldn't help being shocked and shouted in panic: "Do you know whose mansion this is? I am the county captain." Brother, you dare to make trouble in our house."

"Heh."

Liu Qingfeng sneered: "The county captain is your eldest brother, Wang Fa is not your eldest brother. Madam, you must remember clearly."

"This official doesn't know my house. What did you do to break up the house?"

Master Luo saw him standing there talking with his hands behind his back, his mouth full of ridicule, and he took a few steps forward and asked.

"Then you have to ask Second Young Master Luo."

Liu Qingfeng gave him a cold look and said, "You dare to be disrespectful to Young Master Zhao and use all kinds of filthy words. You don't even look at the Zhaohou Mansion, but you, the little Luo Mansion, can provoke you."

"Hmph."

Zhang Hu said from the side: "Don't ask me, the Zhaohou Mansion is the most powerful in Rongdu. Whoever doesn't respect Zhaohou in the army, how can you allow people like you to run wild?"

Mr. Luo took a breath, and his family When did that rebellious son offend the young master of Mr. Hou's family? Isn't this fatal?

"No, it's impossible."

Mrs. Luo looked in disbelief and murmured: "I have detained him in the house for many days and haven't left the house for more than a month. How could I provoke the young master of the Marquis' family?"

"You have to ask Mr. Luo."

Liu Qingfeng saw that the damage was almost done, so he made his words clear, and finally left a sentence, "Take care of your Mr. Luo. If you dare to appear in front of Mr. Zhao again, or continue outside, If he's not doing evil, he doesn't need to use his legs."

He immediately took the people away. Master Luo took two steps forward and asked, "Who is it?" "The county guard Liu Qingfeng is far away

.

came a sentence, which immediately frightened Mr. Luo and Mrs. Luo. There is no need to ask. The guard personally brought someone to the door. It must be his son who secretly caused trouble again.

.........

"Master, the matter has been settled."

Liu Qingfeng reported to Jiang Haohai and described the matter in detail, "They already know the identity of Master Zhao. Luo Mansion smashed it without hurting anyone, and also left them a warning. "

Well, good, thank you." Jiang Haohai nodded with satisfaction.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

He looked at Mu Chenxi beside him, who was wide-eyed and surprised, and said, "Luo Mansion will definitely not trouble you again. You can rest assured now."

"Yes, satisfied."

Mu Chenxi nodded hurriedly, hugged Jiang Haohai's arm, and said with a smile: "The teacher is so awesome! He knocked them all down as soon as he stepped out. Chenxi has been worried for a long time and thought of many ways. He is really a fool. !"

"Hahaha."

Jiang Haohai laughed, this disciple is so lovable, and being coquettish always makes him happy.

"We, Chen Xi, are not stupid."

Amber said with a smile from the side: "Chen Xi is a good child, smart, well-behaved and sensible, but she is too naive and kind, and does not know how to fight against those treacherous, deceitful and villainous people."

"Teacher You can teach me."

Mu Chenxi puffed up his chest and said proudly, "I'm so happy that Chenxi has a good teacher!"

"Hahaha"

Jiang Haohai and Amber were amused by his proud appearance again. The look in his eyes was full of endearment.

"Teacher!" Liu Qingfeng was shocked and looked at Mu Chenxi with scrutiny in his eyes.

Where did this come from? He kept calling him "teacher" and acted coquettishly, which was all pleasing to the eye. Could it be that he was really coaxed into accepting him?

He was full of doubts, he shouldn't. How could you accept such a childlike person as your disciple, like a child who has never grown up?

"Speaking of which, your father-in-law, Marquis Zhao, is very powerful. He can calm people down instantly."

Jiang Haohai smiled and looked at Mu Chenxi, "So, if you want to thank me, you have to thank this person. We are borrowing his name."

"Teacher."

Mu Chenxi frowned with annoyance when he heard this . , a trace of confusion appeared in his dark and clear eyes, "I forgot about having a father-in-law! Will my wife be angry?"

"Pfft."

"Hahaha."

Jiang Haohai spit out a sip of tea, while Amber spoke He was laughing so hard that he patted Jiang Haohai on the back and said with a smile: "How could we, Chen Xi, forget our father-in-law? We have to remember him in the future."

"Ahem, cough, cough."

Jiang Haohai coughed, while holding back his laughter and educating Mu. Chenxi said, "Don't forget, you are becoming more and more useful, but you will be relied upon in the future."

"Yes, I understand."

Mu Chenxi stroked his chest, put away the smile on his face and nodded seriously, " I will never forget it again. If anything happens in the future, I will be the first to pull my father-in-law out to avoid making such a mistake again."

"Yes, yes, hahaha,"

Jiang Haohai said with joy, "If it's okay, just leave him. He's a military commander, and he's in his middle age, so it doesn't matter if he wanders around. On the other hand, the teacher is old, so you should stop wandering around!"

"Hey, teacher,"

Mu Chenxi said with an embarrassed smile, leaning against him. : "You are not old. Judging from the spirit of you and Amber, it is okay to accompany Chenxi for decades. My wife and I can also be more filial to you."

Liu Qingfeng, who was watching this scene, became more and more frightened. This doting, warm and happy scene clearly shows that Jiang Haohai has truly accepted a disciple.

At the same time, I couldn't help but twitch at Jiang Haohai's pampering and teaching methods. Is this how they teach their disciples? There is no teacher or disciple like them.

His examination of Mu Chenxi has now turned into exploration. He always felt weird, the way Mu Chenxi spoke, how he behaved regardless of his status, and the attitude of Jiang Haohai and others towards him.

"This is Liu Shouwei from the county military camp. He is in charge of patrol matters in this area. You have to thank him for going to Luofu for you." Jiang Haohai enjoyed the joy of being a disciple and pointed to Liu Qingfeng next to him and introduced.

"Thank you Liu Shoubei."

Mu Chenxi stood up and saluted, and said sincerely: "Liu Shoubei has worked hard, and Chen Xi will never forget today's feelings."

"You're welcome, it's just a small thing, don't worry about it." Liu Qingfeng returned the gift, He said politely.

Jiang Haohai glanced at Liu Qingfeng and said, "This is the disciple I have accepted. I haven't said anything to anyone yet, so you just know."

"Yes."

Liu Qingfeng agreed respectfully, and took the opportunity to say goodbye, sighing in his heart that this little scholar has good fortune.

When he walked to the door, he heard a sentence coming from behind, "Teacher, Liu Shoubei is holding a sword on his waist. He is so majestic!"

Liu Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling. Isn't this really a long-lasting man? An older child?

.........

"Daughter-in-law, are you happy?"

Mu Chenxi sat in the car and honestly explained what happened in the past two days. Now that the matter has been resolved, there is no need to hide it from Zhao Huan.

"I'm glad, our Chenxi is great."

Zhao Huan felt sour in his heart, but he didn't expect that Mu Chenxi always took it to heart, just to worry about his safety.

He has his own ideas about how to rely on Young Master Luo, and he is not afraid of revenge or dirty behavior, but Mu Chenxi is scared to death. Everything is just because of him.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm telling you something, don't be angry."

Mu Chenxi carefully observed his expression, and spoke out his omissions with some uneasiness, "I forgot about my father-in-law, and I will never do it again." Come on, wife, please don't be angry."

"You!"

Zhao Huan smiled, not to mention Mu Chenxi, even he himself didn't take it to heart, "There's nothing to be angry about. We are so far away. You may not see it, and if you do, it means you don't."

"How could it be?"

Mu Chenxi smiled slyly, her eyes shining brightly, "We will expose my father-in-law if we have any problems, and let him take care of anything that is difficult. "Yes, it's very useful."

"Haha."

Zhao Huan laughed happily when he saw his success, "Okay, it's useful as long as it's useful. It's only useful if you don't use it."

" Well, this way I won't forget it."

Mu Chenxi nodded happily, knowing that his wife would not be angry with him, and he happily cuddled up to Zhao Huan.

There were some things that Zhao Huan didn't want to tell him, like what happened in Zhaohou's mansion. Apart from using their names to cover up some things, it is estimated that it is impossible for them to have any real contact with each other.

The original person's death was indeed an accident, and the hardships he endured in the mansion were worse than those of a servant, but no one really persecuted him.

As for Mr. Zhao, apart from failing to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, he was not at all wrong in other aspects. He even gave the faker some preferential treatment and compensation.

In those high-ranking and powerful families in ancient times, this was already a good result. From now on, he and the Hou Mansion would be on their own sides, and Zhao Huan had no intention of getting into trouble with them.

Chapter 54

Time passed quickly and it was already the end of September.

Today is the day of Mu Chenxi's academy's monthly exams. Zhao Huan felt a little uneasy and went out several times a day to look in the direction of the academy.

He was afraid that Mu Chenxi would take the exam for the first time and would be hit if he didn't do well. He felt like grass growing in his heart, looking forward to seeing Mu Chenxi soon.

Although he knew that he was smart, knew everything about the book by heart, and was taught by Mr. Jiang carefully, there should be no big problem, but he just couldn't help but worry.

"Master, please sit down for a while."

Zhang Zhi moved a chair for him and placed it at the door for him to sit on.

"No, I just have nothing to do at the moment."

Zhao Huan smiled at him gently. Zhang Cheng, this younger brother, is very smart and works hard.

"Huh?"

Zhang Zhi suddenly looked outside the door, "My boss, there are a few carriages coming."

Zhao Huan turned around and saw three carriages just stopped outside the door. He took a closer look and saw that the person who got off the carriage was the county official. The three stewards of the screen.

"Welcome."

Zhao Huan came out to greet them. These big customers must have come to pick up the customized screens. "I was thinking of sending someone to deliver letters to all the managers tomorrow. The screens should be ready."

"I had something to do a few days ago . , we have time to come together today," Manager He said with a smile.

Managers Jin and Xu from behind also came over and greeted each other. Zhao Huan welcomed them into the shop and invited people to serve tea.

It was better for He Guan to speak in advance, he said with a smile: "When we come here this time, we still have something to discuss with the Zhao family, so I will shamelessly speak on their behalf first."

"He Guan, please tell me if you have anything."

Zhao Huan smiled slightly and made a Looks like he's all ears.

"Last time we bought some carved flower ornaments, and the ladies in the house liked them very much. At this time of year, the flowers have withered, and it will take some time for the plum blossoms to bloom, so I would like to ask Mr. Zhao to carve some more flowers and other ornaments. , to relieve the boredom of our lady in the house."

Manager He said the request with a smile, and said bluntly to Zhao Huan: "I know that the Zhao Dong family has its own rules, but the rule is that the dead are alive, I hope the Zhao Dong family will understand. We are sincere in order to customize a few more."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Huan felt a little embarrassed. He didn't have many customized products, but there were three of them when they came up. Zhao Huan had no time to think about it and could only shirk it. He couldn't offend the other family by accepting it.

However, this fan still had to continue pretending and couldn't reveal that he had nothing to customize now. He smiled sheepishly and said, "I wonder how much I want to customize?"

Zhao Huan frowned slightly and thought for a while, "Now I have customized things in my hand. The few items are not urgent. If you accept them, I will definitely take them. But please don't rush me."

"No hurry, no rush."

​​He waved his hand and said, "We will pick up the carved ornaments in a month. The young master also wants to order some table screens and animal ornaments, which can be picked up in the next few years."

The three stewards reported the patterns and quantities they wanted to customize. They were all small ornaments and they were not in a hurry.

Zhao Huan calculated in his mind that he had enough work for this winter, so he didn't have to hurry. He could rest earlier and spend more time with Mu Chenxi at the end of the year.

"Okay, I'll take these." Zhao Huan agreed immediately.

"Dong Zhao's family."

Manager Xu, who was about to order a dowry for their family, said, "Our lady particularly likes the things carved by Dong Zhao's family. I think you can't customize those dowries. How about carving more ornaments? It takes more time. There's no rush, it'll be next summer."

"I wonder how much Miss Guanshi Xu wants to order? I have plenty of time, so I won't refuse if you can take it."

Zhao Huan is naturally happy to have these people like his sculptures. "Do you have a pattern or what kind of pattern do you want? I will draw the pattern according to your lady's request and show it to her first. If you like it, I can customize it according to the pattern."

"Haha."

Manager Xu finally showed a smile and stopped being serious. With a face, "I have some patterns that the lady asked for, but our lady also said that she would like to ask Mr. Zhao to recommend some more. She can't think of any patterns that are too exquisite and unique."

Zhao Huan took them over and looked at them. Sure enough, they were some Flowers, plants, and cute little animal patterns, he smiled knowingly and said: "I will refer to these first, and also think about what patterns I can recommend. I will draw the patterns in a few days and send them to your house for the lady to choose."

" Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Zhao's family at home."

They sat for a cup of tea, rested for a while, and then set off back to the county town.

Of course, before leaving, I still want to visit the East District. What I saw on the shelves were the leftover ornaments they picked out last time, and there were no new ones to replace them.

In his heart, he told Zhao Huan that he was busy, and once again affirmed that he was really good at craftsmanship, and he was overwhelmed by the carving work he took on.

Don't you know that Zhao Huan didn't want to be too busy and didn't have time to take care of Mu Chenxi, so he didn't want to take more calls.

"My boss."

After Mu Chenxing saw off the three stewards, he came over with a smile and said, "Big business is coming again. This custom-made boutique is just for making money."

"Yes!"

Zhao Huan was also very happy. He can make money with these. With more than a thousand taels of silver, we don't have to work too hard. "If we can count the ornaments for the young lady's dowry, we can probably earn three or four thousand taels."

"Congratulations on getting rich."

Mu Chenyu hurriedly came over and said: " I hope our shop's business will get better and better, and I also hope that those apprentices will leave as soon as possible. At least we can supply the ordinary ornaments from the West District, so that the owner will have more time to customize them."

He smiled with his teeth exposed. , the shop is doing well and they make a lot of money, the owner is not a stingy person.

"Well, if they can finish their studies as soon as possible, we can make more money. Then it might be a good idea to open a shop in the county."

Zhao Huan looked forward to the future with them. No one would dislike the money and don't want to make more, they just have to do what they can. But don't make too much progress.

.........

At this time, Mu Chenxi was answering questions in the academy.

He read the handed down questions from beginning to end and found that they had all been done before and he had recorded them in books.

But he felt more and more that what he had done before was not good. Later, he did it again. Now based on the teacher's teachings, he felt that there were still many shortcomings.

So he decided to rewrite it, improve the previous ones, and strive to make the article better.

He shook his head and felt that the knowledge in books became more and more profound the more he studied it. He could always discover the deficiencies in the past at different times, and he would have more ideas to fill it every time he started writing.

Thinking of this, he took out the paper and thought about it carefully, then dipped his pen in ink and wrote down the entire topic in one go.

Then put down the brush and start examining it from start to finish. After seeing that everything was correct, I took out the test paper and started copying.

After he finished writing everything, he put the test paper on the table to dry and arranged everything in order. He looked up and met Jiang Haohai's gaze.

Mu Chenxi smiled, looked down at the test papers on the table, and then looked at Jiang Haohai. After he nodded, he happily picked up the test paper and handed it in, and walked out of the school happily.

He didn't know how many people were alarmed by this move. When he stood up, he attracted the attention of the classmates in the school building.

Seeing him hand in the test paper in advance, everyone's expressions changed. Some were surprised, some were contemptuous, and some were emotional. No one had ever handed in the test paper in advance.

After reading the test questions and thinking about them many times, I started writing on the scratch paper only when I felt that everything was in order. After writing, I had to check and revise many times, and I carefully transcribed the test paper after I estimated the time.

These students have never handed in the test paper first, and have not even had such an idea. They want to sit there and think about the test questions over and over again, trying to ensure that there are no mistakes or omissions.

Mu Chenxi didn't care about this. Why did he stay in the school after finishing writing? It was far better to go out and play. With Jiang Haohai's consent, he walked out of the school building without hesitation.

Smelling the fresh air outside, I stretched a lot. I had been focusing on the test questions just now, but now I feel a little tired.

It was quiet inside and outside the courtyard as the monthly exams were being conducted. No one moved around and made any noise, so as not to affect the exams.

He walked around the courtyard, everything was quiet, no one was around, no sound was heard, even the cool autumn wind was silent.

"Alas!"

Mu Chenxi sighed silently in his heart, it was so boring!

He couldn't stay in the yard, he had to go out for a walk and find a place to play.

When he came outside the hospital, he saw the Juhai that he liked. A large area of ​​chrysanthemums is in full bloom, with a full range of red, white, yellow and green varieties, and the colors are really beautiful.

"Ah!"

He cheered and jumped into the chrysanthemum bush, looking around and smelling, his handsome face flushed with excitement.

"It's so beautiful!"

Mu Chenxi sighed while admiring it: Although there are a few pots of chrysanthemums planted at home, they are not as beautiful as this large sea of ​​chrysanthemums, and the variety of colors is not as complete as here.

"Hmph."

There was a soft hum from behind him, followed by a sentence: "No matter how beautiful it is, you can't pick it at will. These are all for the students of the academy to appreciate, and they can't be destroyed easily."

Mu Chenxi turned around and saw the mountain chief and Fan The Master stood on the path. The mountain chief was looking at him and warning him with a serious look.

"Mountain Chief, hello, Master."

Mu Chenxi walked up to them with a smile, bent down and saluted to show respect, then straightened up and said: "Some chrysanthemums will soon die, leaving them on the branches and affecting other blooming ones." Chrysanthemums are competing to show off their beauty. It is better to cut them and plant them in a vase, so they can bloom for a few more days."

He pointed at the chrysanthemums that were about to bloom and were about to lose their bloom. "It's already over. When they are in full bloom, they will wither in the autumn wind in a few days. Wouldn't it be better if they were cut and put indoors to keep them in bloom for a few more days?"

After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips again, "It would be better if they were picked off at this time. Drying it and making tea in the future can also reduce the heat and improve eyesight. It will be more delicious if it is made into food."

He wanted to persuade the mountain chief to agree to pick some. It would be a pity if it was left. It would be better to let it use the last remaining heat and use it again. Reflect the residual value of chrysanthemums.

"Don't even think about it."

The mountain chief saw his little thoughts and refused, saying: "The remaining scenery has the beauty of the remaining scenery. Everything in the world has reincarnation. How can you change it if you say you can change it?"

"I It hasn't changed!"

Mu Chenxi looked innocent, her beautiful and dazzling starry eyes exuding a sense of grievance, "I just thought it was a pity that some of them would wither and fall into the soil. Next year, some of the remaining spring mud will be used to turn it into delicacies and make tea to benefit us. Isn't that great? Everyone has their own way."

"It's actually some nonsense."

The mountain leader saw that he was aggrieved and couldn't bear to lecture him anymore. "Aren't you going to take the exam? Why are you running out to play again now? Don't you need your proof to be worthy of your family and master's teachings?"

"I've finished the exam."

Mu Chenxi suddenly raised her hands when she heard him ask this question. After a while, he said with high spirits: "These are all questions that Master has taught you. They are also available in books. They are very simple. I will give them to Master after I answer the questions."

"You."

The mountain leader looked at his confident appearance and was momentarily stunned. He was angry and scolded: "You can't think more about it and think about those questions. How can you just run out and play, and your master allows you to act like this?"

"No, our master says I am very smart. , Those questions are not worth mentioning, so there is no need to waste too much time."

Mu Chenxi smiled brightly, with a natural and frank expression, as if he was sure of winning the monthly exam, and his eyes were full of confidence.

The mountain leader was so angry that he walked away, "I'm going to take a look at your test papers. How proficient you are in your studies and how brilliant your articles are, yet you don't care about such important things as assessments."

He turned around and left without seeing Mu Chenxi . Sitting behind him was a grimace, clearly looking like he was deliberately irritating him.

"Haha."

Master Fan looked on with amusement. He pointed at Mu Chenxi and laughed: "You are a naughty little naughty little naughty boy. If the mountain chief sees you like this, he will have to teach you a lesson."

"He can't see."

Mu Chenxi smiled. He said cheerfully and with crooked eyes: "Master Fan, do you want to pick chrysanthemums? I can help you."

"Okay, okay, can you pick some for me and save them for making tea?"

Master Fan understood what he meant, Immediately he answered the matter, "You can just pick it up and send it to me when the time comes. If you need anything, just ask me."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Fan."

Someone helped him with this matter, and Mu Chenxi ran away immediately. He went into the sea of ​​chrysanthemums and picked chrysanthemums that were about to lose their life. His wife said that chrysanthemums are best soaked in water!

.........

In the evening, Zhao Huan came to pick him up and saw him carrying many half-dried chrysanthemum petals, happily showing them to him.

"Daughter-in-law, look, I picked a lot of chrysanthemums and they are almost drying."

Mu Chenxi happily sent the chrysanthemum petals to Zhao Huan and said with a bright smile: "Didn't my wife say that chrysanthemums should be soaked in water to drink? Is it good for your health? I'll keep these for you to make tea for later. "

Isn't it allowed to pick flowers in the academy? Didn't anyone stop you from picking so many?"

Zhao Huan frowned. Mu Chenxi really didn't deserve to be punished or criticized for this matter.

"Don't worry, wife."

Mu Chenxi stretched out her hand to smooth the center of his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I picked the petals for Mrs. Fan, and then I asked for these. No one will say anything about me."

"Yeah, okay."

Zhao Huan smiled assuredly . He asked, "Are you tired from today's exam?"

He observed that Mu Chenxi was still as cheerful as ever. It seemed that the exam was going smoothly and there was no need to worry about him being hit.

"It's not tiring, it's a very simple question."

Mu Chenxi blinked her big eyes and said proudly: "I will definitely do well in the exam, give my wife a face, and let them see if I am stupid or not."

Chapter 55

"Brother Mu."

Wang Qingquan saw Mu Chenxi coming from a distance and immediately went to greet him, "After the exam that day, why did Brother Mu walk so fast and I couldn't find you anywhere."

"Didn't I take a break from Mu after the exam? "

Mu Chenxi looked at him strangely and asked, "Didn't you go home?"

"I came back. I just wanted to say hello to Brother Mu before I left."

Wang Qingquan looked a little uncomfortable and said with a smile. Brother Mu, how do you feel about the assessment questions? I see you handed the test papers to Master early."

"Oh!"

Mu Chenxi's eyes flickered, and she suddenly realized, "So that's what you were waiting for outside the school early in the morning. !""Hey." Wang Qingquan looked around sheepishly and asked Mu Chenxi straight to the point: "If you don't know the answer, we can discuss it together."

Mu Chenxi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't be behind you."

"Humph, that's so shameless." Suddenly a voice came from behind them, with a mocking tone.

Mu Chenxi turned around and saw Cheng Jinwen in their school looking at him with disdain, the disdain in his eyes not concealed at all.

"There is no green grass by the river, so how can a talkative donkey come from that? It's really weird!" Mu Chenxi retorted at that time. He had grown a lot in the past six months and was more than 1.8 meters tall.

Cheng Jinwen and Qi Junfeng were standing next to him. , Xiao Ruxi, half a head shorter than him. He immediately raised his chin condescendingly, looked at them with slightly squinted eyes, and said: "Listening to others behind your back is the behavior of a despicable villain. Interjecting unreasonable remarks, ridiculing, and scorning are rude. I will expose and report you to Master to prevent you from doing so." One mistake after another leads to the wrong path. " Mu Chenxi has now learned to pull the tiger's skin to carry the banner, and is ready to drag his teacher out at this moment.

He has absolute authority over these people, which is enough for them to suffer. "Hey, you are a fool and you still complain." Cheng Jinwen didn't care about him at all. Although they came from Fucheng to study, they had already figured out the situation in the past month and knew every student's situation well. What's more, Mu Chenxi's incident was widely circulated in the city.

Those who participated in the general examination came back and told the situation clearly. How could Cheng Jinwen be afraid of him. "Don't wait for Master to expel you from the academy."

Cheng Jinwen gloated: "A scholar is studying among the scholars, don't you be ashamed? You don't even know how to do the assessment questions. Hand in the test paper early, I want to see you Can I still stay here to study?"

"Ha." Xiao Ruxi stepped forward to help Cheng Jinwen and said, "Maybe he deceived the master. The master didn't know his details. Otherwise, how could he recruit a fool into the academy? Hang out in our Class A."

When Wang Qingquan heard them calling them idiots, he was ridiculed and scornful, and took a step back silently. He had to hold back several times in front of Mu Chenxi because of his unintentional mistakes. He knew that these three people were descendants of official families in Fucheng. They were always superior to others and looked down upon other students. No one dares to provoke them and avoid their sharp edges.

"Oh."

Mu Chenxi put his hands behind his back and looked disapproving, "So, what do you want to do?" "You shouldn't be shameless enough to stay in the academy, let alone appear in Class A." Cheng Jinwen He said: "It's better to go home and don't embarrass yourself." "That's right." Xiao Ruxi helped: "Go back quickly and ask your husband-in-law to pick you up so you don't get lost, hahaha."

" Oh, that's it."

Mu Chenxi was not angry at all. Instead, she laughed when they heard what they said: "You are afraid that I will surpass you in the examination, so you want to kick me out of the academy, but you don't dare to speak in front of the Master, so you come to show off your power in front of me. Humiliated in every possible way, you are truly a man of great talent and virtue!"

He smiled with the corners of his mouth raised, and Cheng Jinwen, who was suddenly enlightened, was filled with anger. "You fool, how dare you put yourself on top of us? Stop talking nonsense."

He pointed at Mu Chenxi and said: "Since you keep saying you are higher than us, then wait for the assessment results to come out and see where you are. If you are not as knowledgeable as others, you can do it yourself." Get out of the academy and don't show up in front of us."

"Huh?" Mu Chenxi asked curiously, "Why? What does my success in the exam have to do with you? Why should I listen to you? "

"Aren't you higher than us? Then let's compete. You fool, you are so arrogant and want to be better than us and dream about it."

"No comparison." Mu Chenxi shook his head, flashed his big eyes, and said seriously: "I'm here to study, not to compete with you. It's just inexplicable!"

"Then what do you want?" Qi Junfeng, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke impatiently. His face was gloomy, his eyes were unkind, and his whole body was exuding Smelling an unpleasant breath. "I don't know."

Mu Chenxi looked Qi Junfeng up and down and said: "You should ask them how they are and what I am doing? They came up to scold me and kicked me out of the academy. Why are you the one who complained first and blamed me? On the head." "Hey." His eyes flickered a few times, and he winked at Qi Junfeng and said with a bright smile, "I'm stupid, but I won't fall for you!" "You said that . Am I stupid?" Qi Junfeng's face suddenly darkened and he looked at Mu Chenxi dangerously, "No one dares to say that to me."

"Oh, no one dares to say that I am stupid." Mu Chenxi was not afraid of his expression . With a smile on his face, he smiled even more happily, "Those who say I'm stupid are people with no etiquette and talent. They disobey the Master's teachings and read all the books in the dog's belly."

"Bah." Cheng Jinwen said disdainfully . : "You can't even answer the questions. You handed in the paper early. Who on earth failed the master's teachings and dared to scold us? Are you impatient?"

Xiao Ruxi: "Get out of the academy quickly, we will not join fools." Mu Chen Xi said that their book had been read into the dog's belly, which aroused his anger. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward and beat someone. "That's enough." Qi Junfeng shouted coldly. He saw some students gathered around him.

If they really took action, they would not get any favors and would be punished by the academy, which would be too embarrassing. "Tell me why you are willing to leave the academy?" He looked at Mu Chenxi and frowned, feeling even more impatient. He was originally from Fucheng, and was often praised for his outstanding talents and learning. He occupied a place in the scholarly world, and it was a time when he was enjoying great glory. Who knew that his family insisted that he come to this small place to study, but Qi Junfeng really didn't want to, and his resistance was ineffective, so he could only come here full of anger.

What made him even more angry was that although he was studying in Class A of Juyuan, the teachers he taught were unknown people, far inferior to those in other classes. They were all great scholars whose names he knew.

Thinking of the earnest teachings at home, let him make more connections, work hard to be valued by these great scholars, and get into their sight, even if he cannot be accepted as a disciple, there are many benefits to gaining a good reputation.

But the current situation really disappointed him. The teacher who taught me came out of nowhere, and no one knew after asking for a long time, how he could achieve what he wanted.

If he strives to show his face to other masters, but this master cannot explain himself here, he may not be able to leave a good impression in the eyes of those great scholars.

All these combined made him in a bad mood during the month he came to the academy, and he became more and more irritable and impatient.

He didn't notice the actions of Cheng Jinwen and Xiao Ruxi, and he didn't want to get involved. It would be nice to have someone to vent his anger on.

But Mu Chenxi's behavior of ignoring them angered him, and Qi Junfeng directly said, "If your assessment results are behind us, then you will leave the academy or you will be given a thousand taels of silver as a bonus. On the contrary, how about we leave or be given a bonus?"

What he meant was that Mu Chenxi was no longer the candidate he used to be, and since he handed in the test paper first, he was sure that he would not do well in the exam.

Mu Chenxi is a civilian, and it would be even harder to come up with a thousand taels of silver, otherwise he would not have been accidentally injured in Rongdu.

As soon as he said this, Cheng Jinwen and Xiao Ruxi immediately stepped forward and shouted to Mu Chenxi, asking him to agree in front of the students watching, so that Mu Chenxi would not tolerate his denial even if he was stupid.

As soon as they said these words, the students gathered around to watch the excitement suddenly became commotion. This game was too big. Even some students from better-off families would not open their mouths and bet a thousand taels.

Furthermore, the price of leaving the academy is too high. After the reputation is completely ruined, there will be no chance of success, not to mention that Mu Chenxi still has the reputation of being stupid.

"Brother Mu, you must not do it."

Wang Qingquan was anxious at this time and did not care about watching the excitement anymore. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and whispered in Mu Chenxi's ear: "But you must not agree. What if something unexpected happens? It will be difficult to go back to the academy."

He was also curious about how Mu Chenxi came into the academy, but he never understood it. Mu Chenxi's behavior of handing in the test paper early made him really unsure.

He couldn't afford to offend these people in front of him, so even if he stepped forward, it would be useless. He could only remind Mu Chenxi not to agree, and he no longer dared to expect Mu Chenxi to teach Qi Junfeng and the others a lesson.

The enemy was so powerful that even the son of the county prince did not dare to compete with him. In Wang Qingquan's eyes, Mu Chenxi was worse than himself at this time, so he was naturally afraid that he would lose.

Who knew that Mu Chenxi's eyes were shining, and the smile on his face was getting brighter and dazzling. Looking at Qi Junfeng and the others, their eyes were no longer indifferent, but appreciative. It was so generous.

"Okay."

Mu Chenxi nodded happily. He winked at Wang Qingquan and signaled him to stop talking. Then he praised Qi Junfeng and the others: "These people are really generous and stick to their word. You are really ashamed of yourself! "

Don't talk nonsense, should you do it or not?"

Cheng Jinwen looked at his bright smile and felt more and more annoying. How could he endure a fool who was so handsome, gentle and noble, making people feel ashamed from the bottom of their hearts.

There is also a person with a great reputation who always reminds everyone that he is much worse than him. How could he, who had always been conceited, not be jealous.

"That's it, tell me quickly, will you accept this matter or not? If you don't have the courage, admit it face to face."

Xiao Ruxi watched as more and more people gathered together, and had no intention of taking action again. It was really inappropriate at this moment, so she could only try to stimulate Mu Chenxi. Make him say yes.

"Of course."

Mu Chenxi puffed up his chest and acted like a gentleman, "A gentleman has the beauty of an adult. Several of you begged me like this. Even if they are classmates, I can't refuse them outright."

He looked at the people around him. The student raised his hand and saluted: "You have seen it with your own eyes, but I have no choice but to agree. After the assessment results come out, I will let them choose whether to leave the academy or take out the lottery. I will never force them to leave the academy aggressively."

"You guys . Ah!"

Mu Chenxi looked helpless, as if to some disobedient children, and said: "You should really stay in the academy, study the sages' books carefully, and listen to the master's teachings, so as not to make the same mistake again in the future. Wrong way!"

"No, what does he mean?"

Xiao Ruxi looked confused. Mu Chenxi suddenly changed from his normal state and said those words inexplicably. Why did it sound so awkward?

"What do you mean? It's not as you wish."

Qi Junfeng glanced at him impatiently, "It's okay to compete with a fool. Even if you win, there's nothing to be proud of."

He turned around and walked away, leaving Xiao Ruxi behind. He and Cheng Jinwen looked at each other in confusion, wondering why they were dissatisfied with them now after they had spoken out in support just now.

.........

"Brother Mu, why did you agree to them? You really shouldn't have."

Wang Qingquan followed Mu Chenxi, feeling uneasy because he didn't stop him, and a little resentful that he didn't directly confront Qi Junfeng and the others. superior.

"Why shouldn't they?"

Mu Chenxi looked at him, her eyes full of excitement, "They asked for it themselves, and they even begged again and again. I couldn't refuse, so they had no choice but to agree. How can I not be blamed?"

"It's not that I blame you."

Wang Qingquan didn't have the intention to study Mu Chenxi's expression now. He told Qi Junfeng and the others their identities. Even if they lose, it is impossible to leave the academy. As for a thousand taels of silver, it is nothing in their eyes. No matter how things look at it, Mu Chenxi will suffer.

"So!"

Wang Qingquan concluded: "You shouldn't agree. Don't you always think you are smart? Why can't you figure it out now?"

He really didn't know Mu Chenxi's brain circuit and could see through it at a glance. thing, he just agreed and was willing to be fooled.

Could this be the sequelae of his injury? Sometimes he is smart and sometimes he is stupid. Now Wang Qingquan can only think of this explanation.

"Didn't they call me stupid and chase me out of the academy? If I don't agree, they will keep talking about this matter in the future. It's better to solve it as soon as possible to save worry."

Mu Chenxi saw Wang Qingquan's worry and patted it with a smile. He shouldered his shoulder and explained, "Besides, I won't be behind them, so why should I tolerate them?" What

he didn't say was that he was no longer angry with those who said he was stupid, but was still very happy.

People who think of him like this are more beneficial to him. He can surprise them and teach them a lesson at any time, making them hard to guard against. This is the experience he learned from his teacher.

Now he had a question in his mind, why pulling his father-in-law out was so effective and could shock people instantly.

But when he pulled the teacher out, it had no effect at all. He had to think carefully about what the problem was.

"But if there is an accident, what will you do?"

Wang Qingquan asked weakly, seeing that he didn't care. He wanted to remind Mu Chenxi about the consequences of this matter and not to be too confident. Qi Junfeng and the others were different from him and Li Shaojie.

"Am I going to lose?"

Mu Chenxi looked at him strangely, "So what if I lose, they can't kick me out. Besides, my family has a lot of money. My wife tells me every day that I don't need to save money, I can buy delicious food as I like."

Chapter 56

"Hahaha."

Amber was made laugh by Mu Chenxi's words about why it was useless to pull the teacher out.

"You, you!"

He pointed at Mu Chenxi and smiled so hard that he was speechless. It was not surprising that Mu Chenxi didn't understand what was going on here.

How could those high-ranking disciples think the same as him? It's common for them to underestimate someone who is inferior and praise someone who is superior. They don't know the identity of the master, so of course they won't take him seriously.

Mu Chenxi still looked confused. She really didn't know why Amber was smiling so happily. However, it would be nice if he was really happy, so he also laughed "haha".

"Why are you laughing?"

Amber saw him change from confused to smiling in the blink of an eye, and asked curiously: "Have you figured out the reason?"

"No."

Mu Chenxi smiled and said softly . : "Seeing Amber happy makes me happy too! If I am happy, Amber will be happy too, and then he will be happier and smile more!"

"You kid!"

Amber felt moved in her heart, Mu Chenxi He always took note of his true feelings and kept them in his heart.

He sighed again: It would be great if he had his own child, who could be with him all day long, instead of being like now, only seeing him at noon every day.

Jiang Haohai came out of the bedroom to take a nap and happened to see Amber caressing Mu Chenxi's head with a look of love on his face.

His heart moved, and his eyes couldn't help showing a trace of warmth. He stood quietly aside and looked at the warm scene in front of him.

It was a pity to think of Amber always talking about how great it would be if Mu Chenxi were his own child, but Mu Chenxi's closeness to them was enough to offset the blood inheritance.

"Teacher, you're awake."

Mu Chenxi rolled her eyes and saw Jiang Haohai. She ran over happily, held his arm and said with a smile, "Teacher, come on, I won a tiger-skin mattress for you!"

"What tiger-skin mattress? "

Jiang Haohai was helped to sit down by him and asked in confusion: "Who won?"

Mu Chenxi immediately told Qi Junfeng and the others clearly, and said with a happy smile: "Those three idiots kept saying this. If you call me a fool, don't you know that they are the most stupid?"

"Hahaha."

Jiang Haohai looked at him with contempt and laughed happily, "I should teach them a lesson. They have read so many books about sages and their morals are so corrupt. It is simply insulting to the teachings of the saint."

Although he was happy that his disciple was smart, he was also angry that Qi Junfeng and the others forced Mu Chenxi. Knowing his condition, but still licking his face and suppressing him, it is really a loss of conscience.

Literati look down on each other, recite poems and write comparative articles, all of which can be used to compete with each other, showing one's talent and learning, and thereby becoming famous.

How can they use this to force and coerce, and find Mu Chenxi, a person they think is inferior to them? It is really a waste of time to read the book of sages.

"Master."

Amber saw his face was dark and knew what he was thinking, and said: "Chen Xi is smart, but he can't let others bully him. I don't mind the one thousand taels of silver. Let them leave the academy." I

just knew this . At that time, Amber felt extremely angry, but just seeing that Mu Chenxi was happy, she coaxed him.

Now that the master knows this, he can't fool him like this. Otherwise, anyone can step on Mu Chenxi in the future, which is okay.

"Alas!"

Jiang Haohai sighed. Seeing Amber's indignation, he consoled him nicely: "The child is old and has his own ideas. We will just take care of him. Let him handle it by himself."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Mu Chen Xi nodded immediately. He was really afraid that Amber would lose the money and his plan would be ruined.

"Amber, I spent a lot of effort before they came out with the money."

Mu Chenxi hugged Amber's arm and said with a flattering smile: "You don't know how stupid they are, they keep saying they will leave if they lose. Regarding the academy, we don't mention using money as a lottery. I spent a long time with them patiently before they were willing to give money, but they can't just let them go so easy."

"But they bully you, and you can't let it go easily just for this little money. Let them go." Amber

nodded helplessly and said, "You must teach them a lesson no matter what, so that they will not dare to act recklessly again."

"Winning them money is a greater lesson than letting them leave the academy."

He said with disdain: "If you let them leave the academy, this matter will be in the past. But if you let them stay, they will always remember what happened today. Let them see me every day and remember that they lost to a fool, even worse than a fool." Even worse than a fool."

Jiang Haohai was secretly surprised when he heard what he said. This is really the best punishment, but is it too harsh?

He did not participate in this matter and let Mu Chenxi decide according to his own wishes. The first is to train Mu Chenxi so that he has the ability to handle things independently. The second is to give Qi Junfeng and the others a chance, hoping that they can reflect on themselves and change their ways.

But he didn't expect that Mu Chenxi thought further than him and was ruthless enough. He got the money he wanted and fulfilled his wish. He also took this opportunity to plot a back-up plan so that the three people who bullied him would live in his shadow every day.

Unless you are open-minded and change your past through introspection, or you are a heartless person, you will always be influenced by him and always remember the day when you lost everything.

Amber's focus was not on that. He was just pleased with Mu Chenxi's filial piety, "Master, look at what Chenxi is thinking in her little head. I feel sorry for my wife's hard work in making money, and I want to share it. She wants to honor us, but also for You can't worry about showing filial piety based on your own ability. "

Mu Chenxi always said filial piety, but it was all with the money earned by Zhao Huan. He was worried about this and felt sorry for Zhao Huan's hard work in making money. He once had a bitter relationship with Amber.

Today he was happy for a thousand taels of silver, and was willing to fight Qi Junfeng and the others in order to achieve his wish, which made Amber heartbroken.

"Amber."

Mu Chenxi saw that he was sad and immediately leaned over, "What's wrong with you? Is Chenxi wrong?"

"No, Amber is happy. Chenxi is a good boy and does everything right."

Amber smiled He was comforted with tears in his eyes. After living for almost a lifetime, it was worth it to finally get a good child.

"Okay, the morning light scares you."

Jiang Haohai didn't think about it anymore. Seeing his sadness, he immediately comforted him: "You should be happy to have such a good child. No, we should all be happy."

.........

"Daughter-in-law."

In the evening, Mu Chenxi sat at the desk reading, glancing at Zhao Huan from time to time. After finishing today's homework, she hurriedly came to Zhao Huan's side.

"I'll clean it up, you can rest for a while."

Mu Chenxi took the clothes folded in Zhao Huan's hand, folded them one by one and put them in the cabinet, then sat next to Zhao Huan and looked at him and smiled.

Zhao Huan gave him a helpless look. Mu Chenxi kept smiling when he came back today, but kept silent and looked mysterious.

"What are you doing so mysteriously? Isn't it a bad thing?"

Zhao Huan smiled and said, "You still have something good that you want to share with me?"

"Daughter-in-law, you said you wanted to buy a house, have you bought it?"

Mu Chenxi kept her temper and asked about Zhao Huan's intention to buy a house.

"I asked the dentist. I chose two houses. They are both at the entrance of the town not far from your academy. I have to go and see for myself."

Zhao Huan thought that he was happy about buying a house, so he told the story He said carefully, "When you take a rest, we will go and have a look. If we both like it, we will buy it and move it there."

There are more and more people in their shop, and the carving room is too crowded. Zhao Huan thought that if he had money, he would buy a house in the town, which would be more convenient for them to live in.

"Well, that's good."

Mu Chenxi nodded and said casually, "Don't worry about the money. I'll get the money back for you tomorrow. You can buy it if you want. You don't have to consider the price, as long as you like it."

"Yo. Ha!"

Zhao Huan was startled, isn't this what he usually said to Mu Chenxi? Why is Mu Chenxi using it on himself now?

No, the point is, where did Mu Chenxi get the money, and he will give it to himself tomorrow. Is this the reason why he is so mysterious today?

He didn't think that Mu Chenxi had done anything bad, nor did he doubt the truth of what he said. He was just curious about his tone and the source of the money.

Mu Chenxi looked at Zhao Huan seriously, and saw his expression change, and then he fell into deep thought, with a smile in his eyes.

"Where did the money come from and how much is it?" Zhao Huan asked.

"One thousand taels, it's not too much, let's use it first."

Mu Chenxi said calmly, with an upright expression as if he were the head of the family, who had made some money outside and returned it to his wife for home use.

"Okay! You even picked it up with me."

Zhao Huan found it funny to see him pretending. She reached out to his armpit and threatened, "I won't tell you, I won't tickle you."

"Say, tell me, wife,

please take your hands away quickly." Mu Chenxi was the most ticklish and did not wait for Zhao Huan to make a move. , he smiled accordingly. While begging for mercy, he clamped Zhao Huan's hand tightly with his arms to prevent him from taking advantage of it.

"If you don't tell me, take it away. How can I pull my hand out like this?"

Zhao Huan looked at him funny. He was so nervous and ticklish and dared to go against himself. He was really asking for it.

"I like my wife and want to be with her."

Mu Chenxi held back her laughter, looked at Zhao Huan with her beautiful eyes without blinking, and suddenly said: "My wife, I will study for another year and then come back." How about I accompany you? Let's make money together so that you don't have to work hard on your own."

"..." Zhao Huan felt uncomfortable with his eyes. He swallowed hard with his throat rolling, silently thinking that he was still a child. You can't think randomly.

Zhao Huan suppressed his restless heart and turned his head to one side to hide the hot blush on his face, "You haven't said where the money came from yet?"

"Someone else brought it to the door."

Mu Chenxi finally pretended to be serious for a while, letting his wife Seeing how powerful he was, Er immediately told what happened today again.

He emphatically said that Qi Junfeng and the others were stupid, which made him deal patiently to get the money. When he got the money after the results were released tomorrow, he was ready to give them a heavy blow.

"They are really not a thing. We should just hit them in the face, embarrass them in public, let them know the pain, and teach them a lesson."

He was angry in his heart, and his tone was a little bad, "It's really a dog biting a mouse and meddling in its own business. It's none of their business who studies in the academy. "

Zhao Huan couldn't keep calm when he encountered Mu Chenxi's incident. He wanted to rush to the academy and beat up Qi Junfeng and the three of them.

He kept saying that Mu Chenxi was stupid and wanted to kick him out of the academy. It was really unreasonable and his quality was extremely poor.

"Daughter-in-law, you look good when you scold people."

Mu Chenxi saw that Zhao Huan was angry and hurriedly coaxed him: "Didn't you say that there is no need to be angry with such people? It's not worth being angry with them, not because they bit us. , I would bite back and find another way to teach them a lesson. Is it better to make them feel uncomfortable and unable to vent their anger? "

"Huh?"

Zhao Huan thought. Surprised, has he ever taught this? He said too many things to Mu Chenxi, some of which he didn't quite remember, but Mu Chenxi remembered them firmly and didn't forget them at all.

"Me."

Zhao Huan didn't know how to say it for a moment. Mu Chenxi, a clever little boy, not only learned everything quickly, but could also draw inferences from one instance and always come up with new tricks for you.

"Daughter-in-law, don't worry."

Mu Chenxi put her head on his shoulder and said softly: "I will do what you said, and I will get the money back tomorrow and let them hold back their anger. "Fuck them, make them angry."

His voice was slightly lowered, as if he was mumbling to himself: "My wife is right, they bully me and despise me because I am not strong enough, which makes others afraid. I will study hard and make others afraid." No one dares to show off his power in front of me.

"Well, I know Chen Xi works hard."

Zhao Huan burst into tears when she heard him murmur softly.

After Mu Chenxi lost her memory, her IQ dropped sharply, and she sometimes behaved like a child.

It's just a blank sheet of paper, waiting for someone to guide him to draw it. Although he sometimes doesn't understand it well, he will write it down and learn it slowly by himself.

At the same time, in order to grow, actively study and work hard, and slowly add color to yourself. No one can truly understand the changes in his thoughts and the difficulty of his efforts.

But Zhao Huan could feel his urgency and couldn't wait to grow up again. The main reason was for himself.

How could he not be moved, distressed, or angry at those words that gave him positive changes? Zhao Huan understood that because of all the things he was getting along with Mu Chenxi, he himself also changed accordingly.

Chapter 57

"Come on!"

Zhao Huan sent Mu Chenxi to the academy and made a cheering gesture with his fist to show his encouragement.

"Well, come on!"

Mu Chenxi responded with a smile and made a fist gesture, "Daughter-in-law, wait until I give you some money."

He was extremely happy. Today he could make money through his own efforts, and he would also make Qi Junfeng and the others who bullied him angry. Half dead.

As soon as he entered the Juyuan, Mu Chenxi realized something was wrong. Many students turned their attention to him.

They had more or less emotions, some showed sympathy, some were indifferent and the matter had nothing to do with them, and some were whispering and pointing.

Mu Chenxi blinked. Was it because he looked good, or because he knew about the bet with Qi Junfeng and the others?

Either way, he didn't show any timidity. He held his head high and his hands behind his back, with a faint smile on his face, and nodded to the people around him.

The style of a gentleman is the best display. His posture while strolling in the courtyard becomes more and more elegant, and his handsome and unrestrained demeanor is clearly visible to everyone.

Occasionally, some students who had had brief interactions with him responded to his greetings by smiling and nodding in return.

Mu Chenxi slowly came to his school building, saw Wang Qingquan, Li Shaojie, and Liu Wenqing looking at him, and said with a smile: "Why don't you enter the school building?"

Liu Wenqing looked at Wang Qingquan and said with a smile: "Brother Wang is worried about you, I advise him No, he has to wait here for you."

Liu Wenqing was in Class B. He heard about Mu Chenxi and came to inquire about them.

Unlike Wang Qingquan, he had heard a lot about Mu Chenxi before. Now he had a personal experience. He didn't believe that Mu Chenxi would lose.

"The results came in today."

Mu Chenxi looked happy and said to them with a smile: "I'm treating you to lunch. You must order as much as you want. Let's have a good celebration."

"Huh."

Cheng Jinwen and the others were also standing outside the school building . , not far from each other, heard what he said, and immediately sneered: "I wonder if you plan to quit the academy, or take out the money? I advise you to make preparations in advance."

"What preparation can he make? He is just a poor family. It's not even worth selling him for a thousand taels."

Xiao Ruxi laughed and said, "He must have dropped out of school and left the academy. Brother Cheng also thinks too highly of him."

The two of them sang and humiliated Mu Chenxi's poor family. Watching Mu Chenxi's jokes.

Qi Junfeng was silent, watching all this with cold eyes. If you have no family background or ability, you will be looked down upon and humiliated. This has been the rule since ancient times. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

Mu Chenxi smiled slightly and said: "Brother Cheng and Brother Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely make your wish come true."

His eyes moved around, he looked around their faces, frowned slightly and said, "Look at how energetic you two are. "Okay, but don't you have the money? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you wait for a few days. Don't worry too much."

"It's a joke.

" No one dares to be ranked first. It's only a thousand taels, which is not enough for me to spend a few days."

"Oh!"

Mu Chenxi said in surprise, "It's no wonder that Brother Xiao is so rich!"

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Ruxi frowned, "Speak directly if you have something to say, it's useless to lie."

"No wonder you just randomly took a thousand taels as a lottery ticket. It turns out to be so weightless in your eyes."

Mu Chenxi said At this point, he glanced at the students around him and said: "You think my family is poor and I can't afford a thousand taels, so let's forget it. But I still want to advise you, other students will not be despised by you casually. If in the future, When you bet against others, remember to have a higher payout. "

"What are you talking about?"

Cheng Jinwen saw the slight change in the eyes of the other students and scolded Mu Chenxi, "These are all students from other places who have outstanding literary talents or are from high-ranking families. How can you, a commoner, compare?"

More than 80% of the students in the academy are from other places, with different identities, but most of them are not ordinary civilians. Mu Chenxi's words are tantamount to making them enemies.

Although they are not afraid due to their status, no one wants to have potential enemies or provoke evenly matched opponents.

"Why compare? We are all classmates."

Mu Chenxi smiled "Hehe" and said: "Even if we can't become good friends, we still need to respect and love each other and cherish the friendship of classmates in these short few years."

What he said As soon as it came out, many students nodded in agreement. Who knows if something happens one day, someone will be needed to help. Having the face of a classmate is better than being a stranger.

After Mu Chenxi finished speaking, she turned around and left, not wanting to talk nonsense with them anymore. Just a few words of small stimulation, but I didn't want to really irritate them now.

Other students also entered the school and saw that the Master was about to come. Seeing them wandering outside would leave an impression of laziness.

"Hmph."

Cheng Jinwen glanced at Mu Chenxi's back coldly, "He will be arrogant for one day, and he will get out of the academy tomorrow."

"Not necessarily."

Qi Junfeng finally said, "Looks like he is confident, but he just doesn't know Where is the chance to win?"

He frowned and thought for a moment, and then murmured: "Is it possible that there is money?

"

When Xiao heard this, he suddenly remembered and said, "I heard about his family. That husband's wife is good at carving, and she can make a lot of money by opening a shop."

"Then he must be willing to spend money on this fool."

Cheng Jinwen said, "I heard that the wife is from outside, and I don't know why she wants to marry her. A fool."

He and Xiao Ruxi looked at each other with a hint of ridicule. The meaning was self-evident, even a fool can marry a wife.

"Okay."

Qi Junfeng looked at their expressions and was a little bored, "Why do you care so much about other people's family affairs?" He

was getting more and more presumptuous, and he could even talk about private matters at home, which was really unworthy of his status as a student.

.........

Jiang Haohai walked into the school building and looked at the students below. They all sat in standard postures and looked humble.

He shook his head secretly in his heart, who would have thought that there are people with extremely poor moral character here. You really can't judge people by their appearance, nor can they just judge their talents.

He has been teaching and educating people all his life. Although he knows that some students are lacking in talent and virtue, this is the first time he has seen them reach the level of Mu Chenxi.

Perhaps it was because he had not come into contact with too few students in the past, and no one dared to let him know about these unsavory things. I heard about one or two occasionally, but because of the different identities, I didn't delve into it too much, so the gap was too big.

"The assessment results are out. The top ten will post the test papers. You can go and watch them in your spare time and find out your own shortcomings."

With a serious face, he took out the assessment rankings. He didn't need to announce this. The students were all In your spare time, go outside and look at your own rankings, and then study the top ten articles.

But for Mu Chenxi, he planned to announce the rankings in advance, so that these people could reflect on themselves and not be arrogant just because they thought they were talented.

"Now the rankings are announced. Listen carefully and see where you are. In the future, you must keep up your efforts, study hard and concentrate on your studies, and don't do anything irrelevant."

He read it from beginning to end, and Mu Chenxi listened carefully. , I didn't expect that Qi Junfeng, who had good academic performance, was ranked fifth.

Cheng Jinwen and Xiao Ruxi were ranked thirteenth and eighteenth respectively, much better than Wang Qingquan and the others.

Wang Qingquan was ridiculously ranked at the bottom, and Li Shaojie was pretty good, ranking 32nd.

Mu Chenxi shook his head. There are forty students in Class A. If you are ranked at the bottom, aren't you afraid of being demoted to Class B?

He was still thinking about this here, but the other students were all shocked.

Among them, Cheng Jinwen and Xiao Ruxi are the most popular. Why not Mu Chenxi? They listened carefully and couldn't possibly miss it. How could he not be ranked?

They looked panicked and clenched their hands. What was going on? Why was Mu Chenxi not ranked? Didn't this mean they had lost?

Wang Qingquan was also shocked and stunned at this time. His eyes were in a daze and his lips opened and closed silently, unable to close at all.

When Master was reading the rankings, he was extremely nervous and kept staring at Master's mouth. After Qi Junfeng and the others' names came out one by one, his heart dropped. But what is the situation now?

Qi Junfeng watched with cold eyes, his heart was calm, and he had no intention of exploring the matter. The feeling Mu Chenxi gave him just now was that he would not lose.

.........

"Mu Chenxi."

Wang Qingquan had just walked up to Mu Chenxi during the break. Before he could ask why, he was startled by Cheng Jinwen's loud shout and trembled.

Cheng Jinwen ran to Mu Chenxi angrily, pointing at him with a trembling finger, "Why don't you have your ranking? Where is your ranking?"

Xiao Ruxi's eyes were red and she pointed at Mu Chenxi, her voice trembling. He cried and said, "Why are you not ranked? How can we compete?"

It was so humiliating now. What they said during the bet was that if Mu Chenxi ranked behind them, they would lose. But now that he is not ranked, he naturally cannot be ranked behind them, which means they have lost.

The money is small, but the shame is huge. No one will talk about the rankings, they will only say that they lost. There has never been such an embarrassing time.

In particular, he was afraid that Mu Chenxi would ask him to leave the academy. How could he explain this to his family?

Thinking of this, there was no part of his body that didn't hurt. He thought of his father's family background and the stigma that would be spread in the future. How could he be so shameless in front of others?

Facing their questioning, Mu Chenxi spread his hands and said, " How do I know? You have to ask Master!"

"You, you." Xiao Ruxi

almost burst into tears, "Where is your ranking?"

"What are you looking for?"

His face was blank, "Is ranking important? It depends on whether we have improved our studies, whether our etiquette and moral character have improved, what are we doing with those false reputations?"

"Don't we judge the outcome based on ranking?"

Cheng Jinwen was already a little calm now, He looked at Mu Chenxi with dark eyes, "You should go to the master and ask clearly. This is your business and it's not our business to interfere."

"Why are you looking? You should win, right?"

Mu Chenxi looked at him with disdain. , sarcastically said: "I don't have the guts to go to the master, so I just want me to stand out, which is a good idea."

"I only know that I am not behind you, that is a win."

Mu Chenxi looked around and said to the nearby students They said: "Dear classmates, does anyone think that I was wrong? Didn't I win?"

"Of course I won."

Wang Qingquan immediately supported him. He didn't want to offend or offend the problem now. He only knew that Mu Chenxi would not be bullied by them. Just the academy will do.

"Yes."

Li Shaojie nodded and said: "According to what you said at the time, Brother Mu did win."

Although other students did not come forward, there were occasional whispers, and they all believed that judging from the current situation, Mu Chenxi did win . .

"He won."

Qi Junfeng said firmly, and took out the banknote and said: "I would like to admit defeat, this is a thousand taels of silver banknote."

"Well, Brother Qi is really open-minded, and he can pick it up and put it down. "

Mu Chenxi took the banknote without hypocrisy, nodded and said: "Don't be aggrieved. If you find the ranking from Master, you can ask me to get the banknote back. Our bet will always count. However, you have that. Do you have the guts to ask?"

He looked at Qi Junfeng and the others, especially Cheng Jinwen and Xiao Ruxi, gave them a big smile, and said warmly: "I know you feel uncomfortable losing to a fool, but you are not convinced. The solution is that you have lost. Whether you are feeling grievance or angry, you can only hold it in!"

Mu Chenxi wanted to laugh loudly, but he knew he couldn't. He had to maintain his grace in front of everyone, and his tone should be gentle even if he was sarcastic. Give him a smile, he is a friendly person to his classmates!

"Why bother about such a small thing."

Qi Junfeng saw his intention and naturally didn't want him to succeed. He said, "Mu Juren won, but do you think it's glorious?"

"If you win, you win, and you don't hide everything. It's all under the witness of all the classmates, how can there be any disgrace?"

Mu Chenxi smiled with crooked eyebrows, not caring about his words at all, and said with a smile: "The ranking is not what I want, you just don't want to, so why bother? Put this crime on my head."

"It's because you are incompetent, because you are cowardly, and because you are unrepentant and can only find various reasons to excuse yourself."

Mu Chenxi stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation and said, "If you think that you are. What you did is completely correct. Then go to the Master to ask for justice. Why waste your time with me?"

"You think we don't dare?"

Cheng Jinwen broke the jar and stepped forward and said: "You Do you dare to go with me to see the Master and ask what is going on with this ranking?"

"It's not a question of whether you dare or not."

Mu Chenxi sighed, looked at Cheng Jinwen with a look of dismay, and said, "I didn't go looking for him. It's not me who loses. Besides, I'm stupid! How can I ask for justice?"

"You." Cheng Jinwen rolled up his sleeves as he shook his head.

"Don't be impulsive."

Xiao Ruxi grabbed him. If a fight broke out now, it would be no good for them to let the master and the mountain chiefs know. He would have to face the problem of how to explain to his father.

"Forget it, that's it for today."

He whispered in Cheng Jinwen's ear: "This matter will come to light sooner or later. There is no need to rush. We are different from him."

"Okay, let's go."

Qi Junfeng looked at him . Unable to control himself, he spoke out to stop him from making things worse. Unexpectedly, Mu Chenxi quit.

He saw Cheng Jinwen rolling up his sleeves and thinking that he was going to hit himself. How could Mu Chenxi suffer this loss?

"Wait a minute, it's not over yet!"

Chapter 58

"What else can Mu Juren do?"

Qi Junfeng frowned, his eyes piercing Mu Chenxi like a blade.

Cheng Jinwen and Xiao Ruxi did things without thinking. He was also irritable and did not stop them at the time, but that didn't mean he would watch Mu Chenxi being aggressive.

"There are still two people whose money has not been given."

Mu Chenxi pointed at Cheng Jinwen and the two of them, "There are still two thousand taels short, did I calculate correctly?"

"Who still lacks your silver, isn't it the promised one thousand taels? "

Cheng Jinwen was upset and roared angrily, wishing he could punch Mu Chenxi down.

"It's the agreed one thousand taels."

Mu Chenxi looked at them innocently, "But there are three of you, so of course it's three thousand taels. It's not like, let me pay one thousand taels alone, and you But the three of them will give you a thousand taels together, right?"

"Mu Juren should think about what I said at that time and see if you need each of us to give you a thousand taels."

Qi Junfeng almost laughed at him. This was rumored from outside. Stupid? You also know how much money they want.

He knows what he said and will never be ignored. If you want money, you have to come up with a convincing reason.

"I need it."

Mu Chenxi looked at him confidently, "You said at that time that if I lost, I would either leave the academy or give you one thousand taels of silver. On the contrary, the same will be true if you lose. Was what I said wrong? "

" That's right."

Qi Junfeng nodded, he said so yesterday, is this the reason why he wants more money?

"Me."

Mu Chenxi pointed at himself and said, "Each person will be given one thousand taels of silver."

He pointed at the three of them with his backhand, "You three, each of you, one thousand taels, is not three thousand taels. Do I have any? " "Wrong calculation?"

Qi Junfeng was so upset that he almost cursed, "Mother, is this possible?"

Cheng Jinwen and Xiao Ruxi were shocked again. It would be okay if that was the case. But if they put this matter on themselves, it would be a big problem!

No one would have thought that Mu Chenxi would think this way, wouldn't he have to give him two thousand taels of silver? I have never heard of such an algorithm.

What do you think, how do you feel aggrieved!

"Mu Juren really wants to do this?" Qi Junfeng asked.

The literati directly competed, offered a lottery or made a bet, just casually, and I have never seen anyone pay per head.

"Of course we have to count."

Mu Chenxi said: "If the three of you want to count together and compete with me alone, that's fine."

He nodded, as if agreeing to their request, and then said with a slight smile: "But , I would like to say a few words on this matter. You insist on your noble status and are rich, forcing me, a poor man, to pay a thousand taels, while the three of you only pay a thousand taels. This is too unfair. "

"Now, classmates. It's not that I'm greedy for money, but that this matter is unreasonable."

Mu Chenxi pointed at herself and said, "I know I can't compare to your family background, I'm not as noble as you, and I'm a fool who doesn't know how to get it. Fair. But I know that a gentleman will do something and not do something, and he will never do this to bully the minority, nor will he ignore the teachings of many years of sage and openly do anything to save money."

"It's just that . , I would like to ask these three dear friends."

Mu Chenxi smiled sheepishly and said, "You keep saying that I am stupid and not worthy of studying with you in the academy. "

Then, let me ask."

Mu Chenxi raised his hand and saluted, "You are so high and mighty and think you are rich. Why do you value money more than your face? Why do you think you are superior to others? Why do you want to fight with me, a fool?" "Why don't you find a matching student?"

"Or do you have the courage to show off your power in front of me, only here can you find a sense of superiority, and only here can you dare to be arrogant and arrogant?"

His handsome face gradually changed. He became serious and his eyes sharpened, "If this is the case, I have nothing to say. I just follow the teachings of the saints and consider the friendship between classmates. I would like to remind you that people are inherently good at first."

Qi Junfeng's eyebrows gradually sharpened, Mu Chenxi not only Do you want money, or do you want to humiliate and teach them? This kind of mentality and eloquence cannot be possessed by a fool.

Cheng Jinwen and Xiao Ruxi's faces turned red at what he said. They were so ashamed that they couldn't raise their heads. They lowered their heads in embarrassment under the gaze of everyone.

The two of them were just bored and realized that this man who was in high spirits every day was the stupid person spread by the students.

They were a little jealous and a little envious. A fool was actually more carefree than them. Gradually, they couldn't stand it more and more, so they wanted to trample him under their feet and humiliate him out of their sight.

Mu Chenxi's words caused a commotion among the other students around him. Especially the last sentence, people are inherently good by nature, which directly touches everyone's heart.

"You have indeed passed."

Someone finally spoke up. Feeling guilty, he could no longer ignore this matter, nor could he ignore it as it had nothing to do with him.

Other students also said that this behavior should not be done. It violated the teachings of the saints, lost the status of students, and insulted the lintel of the family.

Although the literati spoke tactfully, Cheng Jinwen and the others were sometimes so embarrassed that they couldn't even raise their heads. They really didn't think so much and were used to looking down on these civilians.

"Indeed, it's our fault."

Qi Junfeng apologized sensibly and immediately. He bent down and gave a deep salute, "Mu Juren, we were wrong, and we apologize for that."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Mu Chenxi stretched out his hand to help , smiled lightly and said: "As long as you can take today as a warning, always reflect on yourself, and have benevolent thoughts in your heart, the humiliation I have suffered will not be in vain."

Qi Junfeng: Being ridiculed and slapped in the face in front of everyone, I still have nothing to say Refute, otherwise it will be regarded as strong words.

"Give me money."

He said to Cheng Jinwen and Xiao Ruxi that they could only tolerate this matter today and could not continue to cause trouble.

Qi Junfeng could see that Mu Chenxi was determined to win. If he couldn't get what he wanted and offended the master and the mountain chief, there would be no need for such a face.

Cheng Jinwen and the others were obedient this time, took out the banknotes and handed them to Mu Chenxi. Without raising their heads, they clasped their fists and saluted, then turned around and left in embarrassment.

Mu Chenxi put away the banknotes and thanked the students around him. Thanks to them for speaking up and taking this opportunity to show their gentlemanly demeanor, which won the favor of many students.

"Brother Mu is so open-minded. He let this matter go in the blink of an eye."

Wang Qingquan couldn't help but sigh when he saw Mu Chenxi laughing and chatting with other students. He was handsome, elegant and personable, without any grudges at all.

"I said, he won't lose."

Liu Wenqing gave him a look. He had experienced it himself. He was warmly invited home by Mu Chenxi and bought a lot of things!

You are so smart that you can't tell anyone about your hardships. How can you be bullied by others? It would be nice if you don't dig holes everywhere to bury you.

And his daughter-in-law, who is as handsome as a woman and as gentle as jade. But after Liu Wenqing got to know him, he no longer believed in the words "appearance is as real as heart".

.........

"Daughter-in-law, here you go."

Mu Chenxi proudly put the banknote in Zhao Huan's hand, "Three thousand taels, you can spend it however you want."

Zhao Huan looked at the banknote in his hand and added Seeing Mu Chenxi's triumphant look on his face, he asked with a smile: "Did you trick them?"

"No."

Mu Chenxi smiled, shook his head at Zhao Huan, and said, "They delivered it to the door themselves. They didn't charge more money. I'm sorry for this . Opportunity."

"You!"

Zhao Huan pointed at him and said with a smile, "It's good that you can always seize opportunities. This way, the lesson will be more profound." Mu Chenxi leaned over in aggrieved manner

.

There was secret joy in his eyes, "They still want to hit me. I really want to go up and punch them all down."

"A gentleman talks but doesn't do anything. If it's for nothing, there's no need to expend such effort."

Zhao Huan lectured him. , but his eyes looked at Mu Chenxi from top to bottom, "If you can't do anything, you will naturally have to seize the opportunity. The only thing you can do is not suffer losses."

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi nodded, smiled slyly, and said, "Other classmates I'm here, I want to be a gentleman. Just talk a little bit and ask them for more money to compensate me."

"Yes, Chen Xi is great."

Zhao Huan smiled slightly, "This head is just for use. Do you want to wait for him to become moldy? If you can teach them a lesson, there is no need to take action. If you want to do it, just beat them violently, no need to worry. "

" If it weren't for that black-faced mountain leader, I would really want to beat them.

Chen Xi was a little discouraged. If he hit someone, the mountain chief would look terribly ugly. He really didn't want to see it.

"You are a scholar and have a great reputation, so you can't be so rude."

Zhao Huan taught him carefully while driving. "Use your brain more. It's best to treat others in their own way. If you can't do it in time, you can use external force." "When you are really helpless, just take action to relieve yourself."

He said with a smile and a gentle tone, as if he was talking about something insignificant, "If you are young and frivolous, you will lose your sense of loyalty and do something inappropriate!" "

No way, it was like this in ancient times. Using the powerful to bully the small and suppress others, and also paying attention to reputation, Zhao Huan could only take advantage of it, and he could not let Mu Chenxi suffer and be bullied no matter what.

Mu Chenxi listened obediently, looking extremely serious. He always kept Zhao Huan's words in mind and treated them seriously.

"Yes, I understand."

Mu Chenxi nodded, smiling like a little fox, "I know how to use my discretion. If I have money, I will use it to comfort me when I am injured. If I don't have money, I will take action. I have to teach you a lesson!"

"Ah! ?"

Zhao Huan was startled. He didn't seem to mean it this way. Why did Mu Chenxi understand it so well? Didn't he teach him enough?

.........

"Ha."

After finishing his homework, Mu Chenxi took a breath and felt a little sleepy. He turned around to see that Zhao Huan was still asleep.

"Daughter-in-law, what are you busy with?"

Mu Chenxi walked over and saw that he had many drawings in his hand, "It's really beautiful. Do you want a new style?"

"This is a dowry decoration for Miss Xu Mansion in the county. I also recommended a few new styles. If you like them, you can make a lot of money."

Zhao Huan has been busy with this these days. Now he has sorted them out and can send them to Xu Mansion in the county tomorrow. He will pay a deposit for them. .

"Daughter-in-law, you are great."

Mu Chenxi smiled with crooked eyebrows, like a stolen kitten, resting on Zhao Huan's shoulder, "We will buy a house soon, and we have to buy a lot of things. We drive every day So happy!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Huan nudged him with his forehead, "We are happy every day."

Chapter 59

"Madam."

Manager Xu reported: "The shopkeeper of Mu Yixuan came here to send the drawings for the lady to choose."

"Mom, let someone come in quickly."

Upon hearing this, Miss Xu showed a hint of shyness on her beautiful face, "My daughter wants to see those "I don't know if Mu Yixuan's family has any good recommendations."

"Bring them here," Mrs. Xu ordered.

"You!"

She nodded at her daughter and said with a helpless smile: "You have been saying these days, now that you have your wish, you can no longer be picky about this. If this doesn't work, then don't."

"I understand, mother."

Miss Xu said delicately She smiled and took her mother's arm. Those ornaments were exquisite and made people like them at first sight, but her mother disliked them because they were not valuable and the dowry was a loss of face.

It was her fussing and making trouble, and pestering and acting coquettishly every day, that finally made her mother relent and send someone to invite him.

Although no one was invited, maybe some carvings could be specially made for her, which would satisfy her. After all, this is a novelty that she likes and has never appeared before.

Mu Chenxing followed Manager Xu to Mrs. Xu's place, "Greetings to Madam and Miss."

After greeting him, he took out a few volumes of drawings and said: "Miss's drawings have been modified by our boss. If you are not satisfied, please return them." Follow the lady's drawing."

Manager Xu took the drawing and handed it to Mrs. Xu.

"Mom, the little rabbit is so cute."

Miss Xu saw Zhao Huan next to her flower design and modified it. It was many times better than hers, and she suddenly smiled with satisfaction.

"Well, not bad."

Mrs. Xu nodded, this Dong Zhao's family is indeed extraordinary. Her daughter's painting skills are famous among the girls in the county, but they are much inferior to Zhao Huan's.

Seeing that they were satisfied, Mu Chenxing took out a few more rolls of drawings and said, "This is a drawing specially designed by our employer for the lady. Madam, please take a look at it." "It's

so beautiful."

Miss Xu couldn't wait to take it, her eyes immediately opened . As soon as she lit up, she exclaimed: "What kind of flower is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

The colorful and novel flowers fascinated Miss Xu's eyes, and her face was full of obsession. She kept looking over and over, with a smile on her lips. Can't hold it down.

"These flowers and plants do not exist in the world. Our boss specially painted them for the lady. He said that only such beautiful flowers can match the lady."

Mu Chenxing smiled slightly and said: "These have never been carved before, and no one outside has seen them. "But, Miss is the only one."

Zhao Huan taught him these words. Miss Xu wanted these ornaments because they were novel and unique, and she was dominated by a freshness that had never appeared before.

How could these wealthy people look at an object carved from wood? They only thought that gold, silver and jade were worthy of noble people like them.

These flowers and plants are all modern roses, hibiscus and some exotic flowers and plants that were not found in ancient times. They are beautiful, delicate and unique.

If you want novelty, give it to novelty. Zhao Huan sells ornaments, but he just sells craftsmanship, and there is this novelty that was not available in ancient times.

He was not afraid of others asking him about the origins of these flowers and plants. He just said that he drew them from his imagination, and no one could get into his mind to see them.

Mrs. Xu's previous attitude was disapproving. Unless her daughter liked it, she would not buy these wooden carvings at all.

But these flowers and plants are really unexpected. The gorgeous reds, the delicate yellows, and the pure whites all attract people's attention.

"Dr. Zhao's family is really extraordinary. He can draw so many non-existent flowers and plants. He is not an ordinary spiritual person."

She had to admit that she was also fascinated. She wanted to own these exotic flowers and plants immediately. She must appreciate them every day. Be happy and have no more worries.

"Mom, I want them all."

"Yes, I want them all."

Mrs. Xu agreed, looked up at Mu Chenxing, and said, "I want all of the recommended ones."

"Yes."

She thought for a moment, with a gentle expression on her face. With a smile, "A few more pieces, five pieces."

"Sorry, madam."

Mu Chenxing shook his head in embarrassment, and said with a bitter smile: "Our boss told us not to order more. He is too busy, so we should first treat the lady as Let's put the dowry first."

"You don't want the business that comes to your door?"

Mrs. Xu's face darkened. She also wanted these and wanted to give them away. What should she do if she doesn't have them?

"It's not that I don't want business, I really can't do it."

Mu Chenxing had no choice. Zhao Huan had told him not to order more when he came. What if he made the decision without authorization and couldn't explain it when he returned?

If he couldn't deliver the goods on time, it would be even more troublesome. He could only insist on not letting go. He couldn't get angry and stop ordering any items.

Mrs. Xu looked at Manager Xu and wanted him to negotiate. Unexpectedly, Manager Xu shook his head at her. Only then did she remember what Manager Xu had said when he came back to report last time.

"Alas!"

She sighed and glanced at Mu Chenxing with a look of regret on her expression, "It's a pity that more people can't appreciate these flowers and plants. Why are your boss so stubborn?"

"It's not stubborn."

Mu Chenxing He explained: "My boss is really incapable of doing all the work, and the other people's skills are much inferior, so we can't let them come out to show their shame."

He looked at Miss Xu who was holding the drawings and said: "My boss said, thank you for liking the ornaments he carved. , These are specially painted for the lady, even if they are sold, they have to wait until the lady gets married."

When

Miss Xu heard this, she hurriedly grabbed her mother and said, "After you get these, please honor your mother. Are you going to let your daughter win over the boss?"

"Yes."

Mu Chenxing struck while the iron was hot and said, "Our boss has also prepared a special gift for the lady to celebrate." "

What gift?"

There are still good things, and he immediately asked happily: "Is it another unique thing from your boss? It must be something that no one else has. I really want to thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Mu Chenxing nodded with a smile and said: "It is indeed unique. The boss didn't say what it was, he just said he wanted to give the lady a surprise."

In order to settle the matter quickly, he tried his best to deceive her. There are things, but Zhao Huan wants to use this young lady to promote them and make a lot of money in the future.

Mu Chenxing had no choice but to pretend to be mysterious and use Miss Xu to get her mother out of the way so that he could escape as soon as possible.

"That's all."

How could Mrs. Xu not understand what he was thinking? If a housewife couldn't understand this, she wouldn't be able to support a family. "Just make these arrangements for the young lady first!"

she said to Manager Xu. She waved her hand and asked him to arrange the matter. She wanted to see what gifts Mr. Zhao could give. This was the first time she heard of a seller giving a gift to a buyer.

.........

"Master Chen."

Mu Chenxi saw Chen Mingrui talking to a tall young man at the entrance of the academy. They were very friendly and walked over curiously.

"Morning light."

Chen Mingrui turned around when he heard the voice and waved him over happily, "I still want to find you. I heard that you have made a fortune, and I want to have a banquet to celebrate."

"Yes . Please, I'll look for you, but you're not here."

"Oh, then Xiu Mu, I'll go to your house and have a big meal."

Chen Mingrui remembered that he had recently learned to ride a horse, and the look on his face couldn't help but become more joyful, and he was talking to Mu Chenxi. The two chatted happily.

Liu Qingfeng was startled when he first saw Mu Chenxi. He didn't expect to meet him. Now that he is so familiar and close to Chen Mingrui, he can't help but want to explore again.

"Isn't this Liu Shoubei?"

Mu Chenxi kept quietly sizing up Liu Qingfeng. Unexpectedly, Chen Mingrui knew him, and they seemed to have a good relationship with him.

He met Liu Qingfeng, and Chen Mingrui saw this scene and asked curiously: "Do you know each other?"

"Well, he even helped."

Mu Chenxi smiled happily, and he looked at Chen Mingrui with a smile on his face, "He is your wife Right? I can tell at a glance, hahaha, when are you going to invite us to a wedding banquet?"

"Chen Xi."

Chen Mingrui blushed at what he said and said hurriedly: "Brother Liu and I are friends, not what you think. That way."

"Don't fool me."

Mu Chenxi gave him a big roll of her eyes, pointed at Liu Qingfeng and said, "The way he looks at you is obviously like my wife, and you look very happy, so we are friends.

"Oh, yes." He

suddenly thought about it and narrowed his eyes, "If you haven't gotten married yet, of course you can't call her daughter-in-law."

Chen

Xi looked at Liu Qingfeng sheepishly. He said helplessly: "Hurry up and leave, your wife is still waiting for you outside."

"I know, let's go now."

Mu Chenxi smiled "hehe". He just wanted to see what Chen Mingrui had been busy with for so long. I didn't go to the house to play, so I could go back and report to my wife.

After saying that, he ran away, jumping up and down, as happy as a bird, "Brother Mingrui is getting married. I tell my wife to go and prepare a big gift for you."

"Brother Liu, I'm really happy . Sorry."

Mu Chenxi left, leaving Chen Mingrui to face Liu Qingfeng alone. He explained awkwardly: "Chen Xi is a child, and there is no harm in what he says. Please don't take offense."

"No,"

Liu Qingfeng listened to him. When he said this, there was a smile in his eyes and he said in a soft tone: "He is very smart and can see the key to the matter at a glance. This is good. How can I blame him."

"Ah?"

Chen Mingrui was stunned at this statement . What does it mean? Thinking of the scenes they had spent together since they met Liu Qingfeng, his face couldn't help but get hotter.

"I think this is good, what do you think?"

Liu Qingfeng looked at him blankly, his eyes looking at him, ranging from surprise to disbelief, with a little shyness, feeling that he might be enlightened.

"You think about it, I've already made up my mind and won't give up."

He patted Chen Mingrui on the shoulder, with a bright smile that he had never seen before, "I'll go back first and come to see you another day."

You can't chase you at this time. If it's too tight, you have to give the other party a chance to think, otherwise it will take a lot of effort to refuse out of shame and anger.

I really want to thank Mu Chenxi!

Liu Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He thought it would take a long time for Chen Mingrui to understand his feelings, but Mu Chenxi said so in a few words.

No wonder I got favored by that person who is so smart, can easily read other people's thoughts, and can speak out openly and openly, maybe it's Mu Chenxi!

.........

"Daughter-in-law, are you impatient for the wait?"

Mu Chenxi said in one breath The academy ran out and when he saw Zhao Huan, he immediately gave him a big smile, "I found a secret, hahaha."

"What are you so happy about?"

Zhao Huan said with a smile, tidying up his hair that was messed up by the wind, "Don't run away It's so fast, I'm not in a hurry."

"I know."

Mu Chenxi responded obediently, her big eyes blinking with a mysterious look, "Daughter-in-law, let me tell you, Brother Mingrui is about to have a wife. "

Brother Chen is getting married?"

Zhao Huan was interested and asked, "When did he marry a girl from his village?"

"Not a girl,"

Mu Chenxi curled her lips. "It's Liu Shoubei. He wanted to hide it from me, but I saw it right away."

"Liu Shoubei?"

Zhao Huan thought about it carefully and asked, "Is it the Liu Shoubei who helped smash up Luo Ershao's house? He wants to fight with Brother Chen is getting married?"

"Of course."

Mu Chenxi looked at Zhao Huan with gentle eyes and said with a sweet smile: "The way he looks at Brother Mingrui is the same as the way my wife looks at me. She likes him very much!

"Uh." Zhao

Huan choked. Mu Chenxi always had shocking words, which made people unintentionally flirt with him, and you couldn't refute him.

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi pulled his sleeve and asked Zhao Huan to look at her eyes. "Look at my eyes. I also like my wife very much."

Mu Chenxi's eyes were shining, filled with The warmth made Zhao Huan's heart feel hot, and he turned his head in embarrassment.

"Chenxi's eyes are beautiful, like stars shining brightly out of the dust, like the scorching sun, warm and warm, like clear springs full of tenderness."

He helplessly praised Mu Chenxi's eyes. What kind of response could he give at this moment? Mu Chenxi was still a child at heart and could understand. What feelings.

"Daughter-in-law, it's not like this."

Mu Chenxi said dullly, with a hint of grievance in his eyes, and his dark eyes were as if he could not see the bottom of the story at a glance.

"I mean, all I see is my daughter-in-law, and my eyes are full of love for you!"

He pulled Zhao Huan to act coquettishly, forcing him to look into his eyes, see that he liked you, and let Zhao Huan talk about himself Like him.

"Yes, yes, everything Chen Xi said is right."

Zhao Huan had no choice but to follow him and said: "Chen Xi likes it, her eyes are full of love, and it's full of love."

Chapter 60

"Cousin."

"Chen Xi and his boss are back."

Mu Chenxing stood at the door of the shop with a smile, eagerly hoping that Zhao Huan and the others would come back, with a proud smile on his face.

"It seems that things are going well."

Zhao Huan saw the impatient look on his face and smiled like a flower, knowing that the county and his party would gain something.

"It went well, the order money has been received."

Mu Chenxing sighed inwardly. It went well, but it was a pity that none of the ornaments that Mrs. Xu wanted to order could be accepted.

"It seems that I have made a lot of money. My cousin was so happy that he couldn't stay in the room."

Mu Chenxi looked at him with a smile, "How much money did you get back? It must be a lot."

"I got back two thousand taels of silver for ordering. If you add it all up, it's almost five thousand taels."

"Daughter-in-law,"

Mu Chenxi immediately turned to Zhao Huan, "You are so awesome, and you have made so much money. Hahaha

, I hope you are happy . I'll keep it all for you when I get back."

Zhao Huan saw that he was happy and kept smiling, "You can spend it however you want. It's all up to you, okay?"

"Okay, I'll give it to my wife. "Erhua."

Mu Chenxi smiled and helped him move the things, "Are these all for dad and the others? There are so many!"

"Here, let me help you."

He was looked at by Zhao Huan . At first glance, I felt a little scared, as I had been found out about what I had secretly done.

He grabbed a large bag of things in Mu Chenxi's hand, then casually took the things in Zhao Huan's hand, turned around and walked into the shop.

"What's wrong with my cousin?"

Mu Chenxi couldn't feel it and looked at Zhao Huan in confusion, "Daughter-in-law, he did something wrong and came to please us?"

"You are the only smart one."

Zhao Huan smiled and looked at him, naturally Knowing what happened to Mu Chenxing, he said, "It's nothing serious. He will tell himself later."

The amount of silver that Mu Chenxing said just now was wrong. He immediately heard it and glanced at him lightly. Unexpectedly, his face suddenly turned frightened. changed.

Zhao Huan was amused, was he a jackal, tiger or leopard? Mu Chenxing was so afraid of him.

"Um, boss."

Mu Chenxing said with difficulty, "Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu fell in love with those designs at first sight, and ordered them all, and wanted five more of each, but I declined. "

There was something that he couldn't hide sooner or later, so he told the story from beginning to end. In the end, Manager Xu held him back and refused to let him go, insisting on adding a few more things.

If you sincerely say that the lady is filial, she will definitely take some of the dowry to show filial piety to the lady, so that the lady will have much less.

It's rare that both the wife and the young lady like it so much. Please consider this and the young lady's filial piety and add a few more exotic flowers and plants to avoid regrets when the young lady gets married.

"Ms. Xu is marrying far away, so it is not easy to send someone to send her there in the future."

Mu Chenxing said, "I felt soft-hearted, so I agreed to add a few more. It was my mistake to do this."

Now he also regrets it, not If I should make the decision without permission, it would be better if I reported it to my boss at that time and then sent a letter to Xu Mansion in a few days.

"Yeah."

Zhao Huan said expressionlessly: "It really shouldn't be like this. Our shop is small now and it's still in the early stages. We should focus on credibility and quality. If we can't deliver the goods by then, what credibility do we have? "

If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you must come back to discuss it first. Even if the buyer is angry, you can't lose your credibility if you don't order any of these."

"Yes, I was indeed wrong in this matter. I still ask the owner. Punishment."

When Mu Chenxing heard this, he felt more and more annoyed when he thought that this was indeed the case, and he sincerely admitted his mistake.

"My cousin also has good intentions, but sometimes good intentions can lead to bad things. We should learn from this in the future."

Seeing that he really knew he was wrong, Zhao Huan smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, I will be tighter and don't worry about the delivery." There will be problems, but everything must be done according to the rules. If there is a reward, there will be a punishment."

He looked around. At this time, Mu Chenhui and the others were also there. It was about time to close the shop and go home. "Thank you for running all the way. I went to the county seat and everything went smoothly. I originally wanted to give him a bonus of twenty taels, but now I have deducted ten taels as punishment for this matter. It won't be that simple next time. "

A slap in the face and a sweet treat. Many people know how to deal with dates, and Zhao Huan is no exception. By the way, establishing authority in front of everyone will be of great benefit to the future development of the shop.

"Thank you, boss."

Mu Chenxing was not unhappy at all. Instead, he thanked him respectfully and promised again that he would not make any mistakes. He reflected deeply.

He knew clearly that he would not be awarded twenty taels of silver, but Zhao Huan would say it in front of everyone.

There is no such thing as giving twenty taels of silver as a reward, even ten taels is too much. When meeting a boss like Zhao Huan, it is simply overwhelming.

He was really smart, and he guessed what Zhao Huan meant right away, which is why Zhao Huan admired and trained him.

Mu Chenhui and the others were stunned when they heard this. It's not about punishment, but it really makes them feel itchy that they can get these rewards for doing good things.

This was all just free money, and all of his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He was gearing up to do a good job, and he must perform well in front of Zhao Huan.

"Eldest brother, second brother."

Mu Chenhui and the others were looking forward to the future. They were brought back to their senses by Mu Chenxi's words, and they looked at Mu Chenxi with an incomprehensible expression.

"My wife-in-law bought these things for dad and the others. It's going to get cold soon, so they can make coats for them."

Mu Chenxi pointed to a large bag of cotton and a few pieces of cloth and said, "Send them back to dad and tell them Dad, I miss him, but I just don't have time to go back."

He blinked and said a little embarrassedly: "If dad has time, let him come over to play. I miss him! And we are going to buy a house in the future. Now that you have a place to live, you can let dad come here often. "

"Okay, I'll go back and tell dad if he can come and see you."

Mu Chenhui rubbed his head happily. It can be said that Mu Chenxi was brought up by him. My heart is always different from others.

"Good boy."

Mu Chenchu ​​patted him on the shoulder happily, "I'm about to buy a house. Congratulations! Third brother, your life is getting better and better."

"Everything is fine. Eldest brother and second brother will be fine in the future too. "

Mu Chenxi smiled and looked back at Zhao Huan, "My wife said that you will be a disciple soon, and you will make more and more money."

"Chen Xi

lies down at night . On the bed, Zhao Huan remembered what Mu Chenxi said, "Next time, Xiu Mu, let's go back to the village and have a look."

"Huh?"

Mu Chenxi turned to look at Zhao Huan, a little confused, "Aren't we going to see the house? ?"

"Don't you miss your dad?"

Zhao Huan felt that he had been a little negligent. Since they moved to the town, they had not gone back for more than half a month. He did not expect that Mu Chenxi's childlike temperament was also homesick.

"No need, my dad will come to see me."

Mu Chenxi came over, his face was only a punch away from Zhao Huan, and his warm breath fell directly on his face, "My dad used to visit me often, as long as I follow him The eldest brother said that he misses him and will definitely see him the next day.

"When?"

Zhao Huan was surprised. Did Mu Chenxi remember it? He quickly asked: "What did you think of?" Do you remember it?"

"What?"

Mu Chenxi blinked blankly, "What did I remember?"

"It's okay,"

Zhao Huan put on his clothes and stood up . A little too hastily, "I'm just asking, when did your father see you?"

"I don't know!"

Mu Chenxi also wanted to get up, but Zhao Huan pushed him back, "Leng, don't get up, think carefully. See if you can remember the past. The most important thing is to think about your father.

"I don't know when my father saw me. That's what I said. It should be like this."

Mu Chenxi looked at him wearing clothes. He looked at himself with a serious expression and said with some depression: "Didn't we agree? It doesn't matter whether we remember it before or not. As long as we are all well and happy, that's all!"

"Yes, we are. I said it."

Zhao Huan saw that he was unhappy and hurriedly reassured him: "These are not important, but if you think about it, it will still be beneficial. If you want to take the imperial examination and become an official, you can do this.

"I only know that I want to be with my wife and be happy every day. Nothing else matters."

He pulled Zhao Huan to lie down, "It's so cold, you're still sitting there. " , get under the quilt."

Mu Chenxi turned around and pressed her head against Zhao Huan, "I'm sleeping, I'm so sleepy!"

He groaned in his heart: Don't think that he didn't notice that Zhao Huan cares about this matter. Sometimes there will be a hint of worry. With my wife here, who wants to think about the past? So what's so rare about Laoshi Ziguan? How can he be with his wife?

Zhao Huan: I am really a warrior. Mu Chenxi's unintentional words made me murmur in my heart. The longer I live, the more I go back. I can't even take care of anything, just like a weak chicken.

.........

"Dad!"

Mu Chenxi opened the door of the shop, and when he saw Mu's father, he happily rushed over and hugged him, "I knew dad would come, hahaha."

He and Zhao Huan had just gotten up to cook, but they didn't Thinking that Mu's father had arrived, he knocked on the door when he heard some noise from them. Mu Chenxi and the others were still surprised who would knock on the door so early in the morning before dawn.

"Your eldest brother said you missed daddy, so I came over to see you." Dad Mu said with a smile.

He heard yesterday that Mu Chenxi missed him, and regretfully wanted to come over that night. He always wanted his son to be busy and not to bother him, but he didn't realize how much his son missed him.

He got up quietly in the middle of the night, told Mu's mother, and walked over alone, hoping to catch a glimpse of Mu Chenxi before she went to the academy.

"What time do you have to get up?"

Zhao Huan saw that Tian Meng Meng Liang had to get up in the middle of the night and walk for more than an hour to reach the town. "It's the same as coming during the day. You can see it when you come back at night. There is also a place to live. " It doesn't matter."

"Your place is small, I don't need to stay here, I will go back soon."

Mu's father looked at Zhao Huan with a smile, and was extremely grateful to him. Without him, Mu Chenxi would not be where he is now, and the Mu family would not be here. These are the good days.

A person must be conscientious. If he didn't have kind thoughts and think about how difficult it was for Zhao Huan to come all the way to their small place, he couldn't treat her wrong. How could Zhao Huan be what he is today.

Seeing that his father was treating Zhao Huan well, Mu Chenxi felt more and more happy. He pulled Mu Dad into the house and said, "Dad, come in quickly. I'll make delicious food for you."

"Okay."

Mu Dad smiled and picked up two An old hen and a basket of eggs, "Your mother prepared these for you so that you can recuperate."

"Thank you, mother."

Mu Chenxi blinked, still remembering how she treated herself and Zhao Huan at that time. , he looked at Zhao Huan and shouted blankly: "Daughter-in-law."

He didn't know what to say. He just remembered those things and was unhappy, but he didn't have any special thoughts. Now that I brought these things to him, he didn't know what to do. respond.

"We have these, you can keep them for yourself in the future."

Zhao Huan took it over with a smile and said, "I will buy a house in a few days, and I will have a place to live. If you have nothing to do, come and stay for a while, so that you don't have to think about it in the morning."

"Yes ." Yeah, that's right."

Mu Chenxi immediately understood what Zhao Huan meant and immediately answered with a smile, "Dad, when you and mother come to live, we will buy a big house!"

"Okay, okay,"

Dad Mu is happy for them. Relieve, now that Mu's mother has reflected on her mistakes, she has long wanted to come and have a look, but she was afraid that Zhao Huan and the others would not welcome her.

He looked at Zhao Huan and sighed: "My son, thank you for your hard work. You can be so generous, which really puts us to shame. Those troublesome things will never happen again in the future, I promise."

"It depends on what you said."

Zhao Huan Smiling slightly, seeing Mu's father's face full of gratitude, he said: "We are all a family, just talk things out, and there is no real harm, just tolerate each other."

He himself was an orphan and had never enjoyed family affection. Mu Chenxi Zhao Huan was very happy to have the care of Dad Mu and his brothers.

The behavior of Mu Mu and the others was annoying at first, but now that they have changed, they must be given a chance. Just like Zhao Huan said, they did not cause too much harm and can be reconciled again.

Only by having loved ones by your side and helping each other can a person go further and be happier.

He has no chance to get this, and he doesn't want Mu Chenxi to have it either. For this reason, he can be a little more tolerant. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, that's fine.
