Chapter 62 Accident (Part 1)
Hang Qiurong's cheeks were slightly red and he said: "Situ Yu is a scholar and is only eighteen years old. I heard from dad that he is very likely to win the imperial examination this autumn."
According to the rules of the Dashun Dynasty, if a person is promoted to an official, he only needs to wait for the official position. Since Situ Yu's brother is such a big official, it must not be difficult to arrange an errand.
Yang Mu could see that Hang Qiurong was still looking forward to this Situ Yu.
"When is your wedding date?"
Hang Qiurong smiled and said: "My father's term will expire this year. He should go to the capital for a new term at the end of the year. The wedding date cannot be decided until then."
It is already spring in March, and autumn is only half a year away. No wonder Hang Qiurong's concubine wants to go to war and risk her marriage.
The two came to the yard, and Hang Qiurong saw a big black dog in the yard.
Hei Da Ya wagged his tail and looked at Hang Qiurong expectantly, hoping to get a delicious bite.
Hang Qiurong pointed at Hei Da Ya in surprise and said, "Wow! You also have a dog at home! Only one ear stands up! How cute!"
When Hei Da Ya heard the words "one ear", he immediately stopped trying to please him and lay down on the ground to emo with his face full. No matter how much Hang Qiurong teased him, he wouldn't get up.
Yang Mu pointed to the pile of red boxes and asked, "What are these?"
Hang Qiurong waved his hand, and naturally some servants opened all the boxes.
Most of them were food, and there were a few pieces of cloth, which were ordinary gifts, except for a box of jewelry that looked more expensive.
Yang Mu returned the jewelry box to Hang Qiurong and said, "I won't keep these. It's inconvenient when working."
Hang Qiurong's eyes widened, "Is it possible that you are still working? I know a friend who owns a lot of shops. Wouldn't it be better for you to rent them cheaply and open a shop as the owner?"
Yang Mu's eyes lit up, "I'm just looking for a shop!"
Hang Qiurong said happily: "That's just right! The rainy season is coming soon, and it's not convenient to set up a stall outdoors. If you open a shop, I can often come and play with you!"
The two girls laughed in tacit understanding, and it was hard for outsiders to believe that they had only met twice.
While the two girls were talking and laughing in the yard, no one noticed that a man quietly sneaked into the backyard and sprinkled a handful of powder into the well.
…
In the end, Yang Mu still didn't accept the jewelry box, but she decided to meet Hang Qiurong's "real estate friend".
In the afternoon, Hang Qiurong took a lot of delicious food Yang Mu cooked for her and left reluctantly.
Yang Mu and Mu Dalang stood side by side at the gate to say goodbye. Yang Shitou looked at Hang Qiurong's carriage curiously.
"Sister, big carriage!"
Yang Mu looked at Yang Shitou's big, watery eyes and felt a little distressed. This child has never been in a carriage before he has grown up!
After the carriage had gone far, Yang Mu suddenly asked Mu Dalang beside him: "Do you know Bai Zewei?"
Mu Dalang held Qiuqiu in his arms, which was about to be moved by Hang Qiurong. He turned back to the yard and said, "I don't know about Situ Yu, but I know a little about his brother Situ Zheng."
Yang Mu pulled Yang Shitou and walked back together. After hearing this, he turned his head in surprise, looked at Mu Dalang's handsome side face and asked, "Have you heard everything?"
Mu Dalang nodded and said: "If a daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate can marry the concubine of a third-rank official, she is considered to be marrying well."
Yang Mu frowned, marrying high is not necessarily a good thing.
Mu Dalang continued: "Situ Zheng is the King of Hell, and no official is not afraid of him. However, I heard that he is very good to his family, so it may be a good match."
Yang Mu and Mu Dalang walked back side by side, and said with some worry: "This kind of position is the most offensive to people. I'm afraid that Governor Situ will be the target of public criticism in the court, right? Can the Situ family really last?"
Mu Dalang suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked at her seriously, his eyes were intriguing.
When Diao Youde came to cause trouble today, the words "disreputable and guilty" came out of this girl's mouth, and just now she said "the target of public criticism".
She said she couldn't remember anything from her childhood, but how did she remember these words?
You know, although he taught Yang Mu how to read during this period, he did not teach these two words!
Also, a village girl who has never seen the world actually knows that the position of Supervisory Officer is highly criticized and cannot last long?
Yang Mu noticed that the people around him stopped, so he stopped too. He turned around and saw a pair of inquiring eyes.
Yang Mu's brows jumped, and he suddenly thought that when he had a verbal spat with Diao Youde and others today, it seemed that the original owner had been exposed.
She rolled her eyes and realized that the thirty-sixth strategy was the best one!
"Well...I'll make dinner!"
Before he finished speaking, people were already running away in panic.
Mu Dalang looked at Yang Shitou, who had been abandoned by his sister for no reason, and then at the door of the east room that someone had closed.
This girl is feeling guilty!
Yang Shitou gnawed on the apple sent by Hang Qiurong, ran to the door of the east room, patted the door a few times, and reminded loudly: "Sister, cooking is in the kitchen room!"
Yang Mu, who looked annoyed in the room, was trapped in a circle for three seconds, and became even more depressed. Why was she still panicking and choosing a way out?
Fortunately, Mu Dalang also has a lot of secrets. Everyone is indifferent, so what does she have to feel guilty about?
If you want to take off your vest, let’s do it together!
The door of the east room opened, and Yang Mu walked out, rubbed his brother's soft hair, and went to the stove room with his head held high.
Mu Dalang, who was still standing in the yard: "..."
Doesn’t this make you feel guilty?
Is it possible to build psychologically too quickly?
…
After the Chen family and his son left, the large courtyard seemed a bit deserted, especially during dinner, which seemed a bit dull.
Yang Shitou drank the fish soup "Snoring", looking at his sister and brother-in-law with his big eyes, and his little head was full of question marks.
Why do the two of them look weird?
On the side, Black Big Tooth shakes its tail like a propeller. It has been starved for two meals! As long as you give it food, it will never emo!
Mu Dalang suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Where did you learn those idioms?"
Yang Mu felt guilty for a second, then immediately looked directly into Mu Dalang's ancient well-like eyes and asked, "Is your name really Mu Dalang?"
Want to take off my vest?
Let’s grill them together!
Mu Dalang looked at Yang Mu's provocative eyes and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he didn't. In the end, he could only lower his head and eat.
He almost couldn't help it and told this girl his identity and her life experience!
But he hasn't thought about what to say yet. After all, he's been embarrassed to take off his vest after wearing it for a long time.
Yang Mu looked at Mu Dalang immersed in cooking and raised his eyebrows proudly, winning the first battle!
After dinner, Yang Mu finally found the big black tooth with its tail waving like a propeller, and tentatively gave it some bacon.
Black Daya ate the meat, his eyes shone brightly, and he wagged his tail even harder.
Yang Mu was a little confused. This little guy had been hungry for two meals, and he was indeed more energetic!
Ever since Mu Dalang was able to get out of bed and move around, he took the initiative to take on part of the housework, not only washing dishes but also doing laundry.
Mu Dalang washed the dishes and took out the sheets and quilts where the Chen family and his son had slept.
Under the oil lamp in the west room, Yang Mu immersed himself in practicing calligraphy.
Maybe he was sleepy in spring, but Yang Shitou fell asleep holding Qiuqiu in his arms.
Mu Dalang and Yang Mu also fell asleep early, so they went back to their houses and fell asleep quickly.
This was originally a peaceful night, but suddenly something unexpected happened.
Yang Mu, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the anxious barking of dogs.
Hei Da Ya and Qiu Qiu like to sleep in the east room. Qiu Qiu has just been woken up at this moment. Hei Da Ya is rubbing his panda eyes with his paws, looking like he doesn't have enough sleep.
Hei Da Ya was very anxious. He scratched the door of the east room with his big paws. Hei Ya yelled loudly. Seeing Yang Mu sitting on the bed in a daze, he jumped on the bed and shouted at Yang Mu, as if he wanted Yang Mu to go out.
Yang Mu had a habit of being confused when she woke up. When she just woke up, she was confused for a moment and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Mu Dalang's voice suddenly sounded outside: "Yang Mu, get up quickly, you're in trouble!"
Immediately afterwards, the sound of a strong knock on the door came.
Yang Mu came to his senses and walked away?
She quickly got out of bed and opened the door.
Mu Dalang rushed in and rushed to the back room while saying: "Run! There's a fire in the yard!"
After saying that, he had already come out of the back room with Yang Shitou in his arms.
Yang Mu turned his head to look outside, and sure enough, the fire was flashing.
Several people hurriedly cleared the house, and the front and back yards were on fire. Only the inner yard where they lived had not been spread by the flames.
But the worst thing was that the front and rear roads were blocked, and the fire was so fierce that it jumped over the wall in an instant and burned the roof of the kitchen.
The air was filled with the smell of fire and oil smoke.
"No, it's kerosene!" Mu Dalang's face became even more gloomy.
"There is a combustion accelerant!" Yang Mu didn't look relaxed.
Chapter completed!
