Chapter 13 A pair of bachelors
Before Xiao Wuer was found, Mu Liuyun was sitting in the main room drinking tea with Jiang Jin and chatting. From the prosperous life of the little maid Mu Liuyun let go after she got married, to Jiang Jin's recent...
I just turned down a marriage.
"Pushed it away again?" Mu Liuyun crossed his legs in front of Fa Xiao and took a sip of hot tea. "I remember that the year before last, a matchmaker went to your house to pick up a girl from a village in the east of Taiping County. What do you mean?
The opponent's character, Douda, couldn't even recognize a basket. He was not on the same journey as you, so he rejected it.
Last year, another family asked someone to come over and say that she was a good-natured young lady who could compose poems and was quite talented. However, you rejected her again, saying that you were just a small business owner, and you were afraid of ruining the girl's life.
What is the reason for this this year? Logically speaking, you are not too young at this age. If you are more impatient, you are probably already holding a baby at your age. Why are you still picky here? Be careful of being too careful.
If you are picky, you will ruin your reputation later. When the time comes, the boss will be old and no one will be willing to give you a daughter. Then your mother will probably chase you and beat you!"
"You're still talking about me, don't you feel the same way? You'd rather people see you as a savage beast." Jiang Jin ignored his ridicule, played with the tea cup in his hand, and looked up at Mu Liuyun.
Mu Liuyun held his chin and sighed: "It's not like you don't know the situation here! How can you compare with me! If you ask me, you'd better marry a good wife quickly and give birth to a few fat babies for me.
Let’s play with my nephew!”
"If you're not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry." Jiang Jin was not interested in this proposal at all. He didn't seem to want to talk about himself. Instead, he asked Mu Liuyun, "But you, do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life? You have never thought about doing it for yourself.
Any plans?"
"It's not appropriate to talk about this matter, at least not right now." Mu Liuyun quickly stopped what he was saying, "I have distinguished guests staying at my house these days, so it's better to talk about private matters later."
Jiang Jin understood the idea and stopped asking any more questions. The two of them chatted about some chores in the government office. Soon Xiao Wu'er jumped back from outside.
"Master, I'm back!" Xiao Wu'er ran into the main room and greeted Mu Liuyun with a playful smile. When he saw Jiang Jin sitting beside him, he didn't hesitate and saluted him, "Jiang Sihu, you're here again!
"
It would naturally be very rude for someone else's servant to talk to guests like this, but Jiang Jin was already used to it when Xiao Wuer talked to Jiang Jin like this. Even Mu Liuyun jumped up from his chair.
He rushed over and kicked Xiao Wuer's butt without even raising his eyelids. This kind of scene was a common occurrence for him.
"Do you still know how to get back? Hurry up and get your errand. Once it's done, I'll forget about the treacherous thing like jumping out of the car and running away. If you can't do it well, just watch your skin!" Mu Liuyun grabbed Xiao Wu.
My son's ears reminded me, "Go and find out for me whether there is any young lady in Taiping County who has not returned from summer vacation or eating in a temple."
Remember to be smart and don't let anyone know that you are out to find out this information for me."
"Don't worry, Master, I'm very familiar with this kind of thing!" Xiao Wu'er was smiling with a smile on his face. He liked this job very much. He stretched out a hand towards Mu Liuyun, palm up, "Master, get out.
When inquiring about information, you will inevitably have to drink tea, eat noodles, etc..."
Mu Liuyun had long expected that he would do this, so he stuffed a bunch of copper coins that he had prepared into his hand. Xiao Wuer took it and weighed it. He smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. He said thank you and moved quickly with his feet.
Just ran out.
After Xiao Wuer took the order and ran away, Jiang Jin also said goodbye and left not long after. Mu Liuyun himself was not idle either. He had been hungry for a long time, and now he hurriedly asked someone to go to the kitchen to give him the food that had been prepared.
Some was brought to him, and he devoured it in his room.
Because the family would entertain the distinguished guest Yuan Mu who was staying overnight in the evening, the kitchen naturally had to carefully prepare some exquisite dishes. Mu Liuyun's need to serve them as soon as possible seemed a lot confusing. Except for a simple hot stir-fry, most of them were cold.
plate, plus two lukewarm pancakes.
Mu Liuyun didn't care at all, he ate it with hot tea and enjoyed it with gusto.
The one serving beside him was Hongguo, the oldest maid in the family. She stood at the table and helped Mu Liuyun pick up vegetables and serve tea. Seeing him acting so arrogant, she guessed the reason behind it: "Master, you are going to the Yamen for an autopsy again."
Already?"
"Yes." Mu Liuyun drank half a cup of tea and swallowed the pancake that had just choked in his throat, "The autopsy was too tiring, and after returning from the autopsy, I was so smoked that I couldn't eat for a while.
If you don’t eat your fill before going down for dinner, how can you stand it?”
When he was full, Mu Liuyun threw out the red fruits and changed into neat clothes with narrow sleeves.
Hong Guo has long been accustomed to the fact that her young master does not have to wait for someone to change his clothes. When Mu Liuyun changed his clothes and came out, she had prepared the tool box that Mu Liuyun used for autopsy and was waiting at the door.
As soon as the cloud came out, she handed over the black wooden box.
Mu Liuyun took the box, smiled at Hongguo and nodded: "You are still considerate. If others are half as considerate as you, then my life will be much more comfortable!"
Hongguo lowered his head slightly, his cheeks flushed, and bit his lip. He was a little shy after being praised by Mu Liuyun. After he adjusted his mood, he wanted to say something to his young master. When he looked up, he found that the person standing in front of him had already left.
The shadow is no longer visible.
Mu Liuyun carried his toolbox and strode out. Before he left the door, he met Yuan Mu.
Yuan Mu was still wearing the same clothes as before and had not changed. It seemed that he had not rested since settling in the guest room.
"Master Yuan!" When Mu Liuyun saw him, he quickly bowed respectfully.
"Where are you going, Mr. Mu?" Yuan Mu glanced at Mu Liuyun's clothes and the black wooden box in his hand.
"Sir, I was about to go to the mortuary for an autopsy. I lacked hand tools when I was in the mountains, and the surrounding environment was not suitable." Mu Liuyun answered honestly.
Yuan Mu nodded: "Then let's go together. It will also let me see Mr. Mu's autopsy methods."
"Then Mr. Yuan, please come with me!" Mu Liuyun made a "please" gesture to him politely.
After letting Yuan Mu and others stay at home, he figured out that since he couldn't stop them, he should simply be more generous and not be sneaky and arouse suspicion.
As long as we investigate this case wholeheartedly, we can send these noble people away as soon as possible.
