Chapter 31: Seeing the Second Master of the Mu Family

Jinling is also known as "Qinhuai". The Qinhuai River from Dongshui Pass to Xishui Pass is the most beautiful season. Green willows are like smoke and gently brush the golden pink towers, ten miles of pearl curtains swaying the spring breeze, and the painting of boats, flutes and drums day and night.

Looking from a distance, there are a trench of spring water and half of the city flowers. In and outside the city, Lin Palace and Fanyu, green tiles and red tiles, and there are 4,800 temples in the temple alone, streets and alleys, and there are 6,700 restaurants and more than 1,000 teahouses.

No matter how remote alley you go, there are always places where lanterns are hanging to sell tea, flowers are inserted, and the best rainwater is cooked. The teahouse is full of tea-eating people.

The prosperity of Jinling is the most prosperous among the three major capitals and the most prosperous place in the entire Jiangnan. It is the economic center of the Qin Dynasty and the political center of the entire Jiangnan. The population of Jinling City is less than 3 million, and it is one of the two largest cities in the entire Qin Dynasty.

"Son-in-law, let's go to the second master's mansion now." Butler Wu said to Qin Mu who looked around.

"Uncle II's mansion, I live in Jinling?"

Qin Mu asked in confusion. Qin Mu had no impression of the second master of the Mu family, but only remembered that he was a big fat man, with a big beer belly called Mu Shangrong.

"The second master is appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat in Jinling."

Wu San said proudly, "You must know that the Minister of the Secretariat is a sixth-rank official, and is one level higher than the magistrate, and is also a Beijing official who is accompanying the capital. When he returns to Kurihara County, the magistrate of Kurihara County must be careful to serve him."

"If you are in the sixth rank official, it would be really good, but in Jinling, hehe, it won't work."

Qin Mu said with a smile that in Jinling, you can meet officials of fourth or fifth rank on the streets, and these sixth rank officials are really not enough to see them.

"Haha, I can't say this nonsense. If the second master hears it, it will be troublesome. The second master cares a lot about this." Butler Wu said quickly.

"Haha, this second master is still a fan of the officialdom." Qin Mu said with a smile.

"The eldest master and the second master are both officials. They pay more attention to it. They are not as good as the third master doing business. When you arrive at the second master's mansion, you should be careful when speaking. You can't talk to the second master like you are talking to the third master." Butler Wu reminded kindly.

"Then I won't live in his house, so stay in the inn."

Qin Mu said, since he was so uncomfortable living in the second master of the Mu family, it would be better to stay in the inn. No one cares about it, so freedom.

"No, when we came here, the old master and the third master both told us that we must live in the second master's house." Butler Wu said.

"Your orders are not accepted by the general outside, butler Wu, you should also make some adjustments."

Qin Mu said that Qin Mu really didn't want to live in the house of Mr. Mu. He would have to be under the control of this Mr. Mu when he went in. He was so uncomfortable. Maybe he couldn't go to the Qinhuai River to play. Before Qin Mu set off, he had made plans to stay at night on the Qinhuai River.

"If you don't believe me, you must live in the second master's house." Butler Wu said stubbornly, without any room for negotiation on this matter.

"Okay, you can live wherever you say."

Qin Mu said helplessly, after all, this butler Wu is gray-haired and old, and Qin Mu is really embarrassed to argue with him, especially the elderly of this age, who are very stubborn and difficult to convince, so Qin Mu had to save his saliva.

Under the leadership of Butler Wu, I spent half an hour to arrive at the mansion of Mr. Mu Er of Jinling. The yard is not very big, and you can see the end at a glance. There are less than twenty houses in total. However, in Jinling City, a place where every inch of land is valuable, there is such a large yard, which is quite good. If you sell it, it will be worth more than 100,000 taels of silver.

Soon, under the leadership of the servants, Qin Mu and Butler Wu came to the main hall of the yard. In the main hall were Mu Shangrong, the second master of the Mu family, and his wife Xu and concubine Liu.

In ancient times, women generally had no names, and of course they had boudoir names. However, apart from their parents, few outsiders knew about this boudoir name. Once a woman got married, she would use her father's surname. Xu, the wife of the second wife of the Mu family, whose father had the surname Xu, and of course there was also a husband's surname. The wife of Mu Shangye, the third wife of the Mu family, was called Mu.

"Hello, the second master, the two ladies." Butler Wu shouted respectfully as soon as he entered the house.

"Thank you, Butler Wu, is your family okay? The old man is in good health." Mu Shangrong asked.

"The old man is in good health and his family is also very good. Everyone misses the second master, the two wives and the eldest master." Butler Wu said.

"Why is he here?"

Mu Shangrong pointed at Qin Mu and said in confusion. Although he had not seen this foolish son-in-law of the Mu family for a while, Mu Shangrong still recognized Qin Mu at a glance.

"Hello, the second uncle, the two beautiful aunts. I haven't seen each other for two years. The second uncle became more and more energetic, and the two aunts are getting younger and younger, and they are becoming more and more beautiful and charming." Qin Mu said.

"hehe."

Xu and Liu couldn't help laughing happily after Qin Mu said this. Why did this fool speak so frivolously, but it sounded very comfortable.

"Aren't you stupid?"

Mu Shangrong couldn't care about the fact that Qin Mu spoke frivolously to his two wives, but looked at Qin Mu in surprise and asked.

Mu Shangrong remembered it very clearly. When he left Riyuan County, Qin Mu was still stupid and couldn't even say anything clearly. It was not like now. Although his words were a bit frivolous, his mouth was clear, and his words were so comfortable to listen to.

"Uncle Second, you can't always look at me with your old eyes. That's all about the old emperor's history. People will change. I'm not a fool now." Qin Mu said.

"What's going on?"

Mu Shangrong asked curiously, why did this fool get enlightened and become smart all of a sudden? It's really incredible.

"Uncle Second, two beautiful aunts, this matter is long. Next time I have time, I will tell you carefully. This time, I have important things to deal with when I come to Jinling with Butler Wu."

Qin Mu quickly said, after all, he was a fool before and was a disgraceful thing, and Qin Mu was unwilling to say more, so as not to affect his glorious image.

"What important thing?" Mu Shangrong asked in confusion.

"Second Master, this is a letter from the third master who asked me to send you." Butler Wu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Mu Shangrong.

Mu Shangrong picked up the letter and looked carefully for a while, couldn't help but frown and said, "Why is this happening? Why don't my third brother come here? I'll send you and Qin Mu to come."

"this……"

Butler Wu didn't know how to answer well. After all, the third master was the master and he was a servant, how could he ask why he didn't come?

"Second uncle, you may not know that the third uncle doesn't come because he is in poor health." Qin Mu opened his mouth and said nonsense.

"What's wrong with the third brother?"

Mrs. Xu asked with concern, after all, she was her uncle in her family, and she was the second sister-in-law, so she had to ask with concern.

"This third uncle is not easy to tell." Qin Mu looked embarrassed.

"What's wrong with my third brother's health? You should explain it clearly."

Mu Shangrong asked anxiously that he and his elder brother were both officials in the court, and his third brother was responsible for the business of his family and family. He could not have anything wrong with him, otherwise there would be no one in charge in the family.

"Uncle San has been fascinated by a girl from Yichun Tower recently. He accidentally got Hua~ Liu's disease and didn't dare to go out. He asked Mr. Wu and I to deal with this matter. Of course, the main lobbyist is me."

Qin Mu said nonsense that Mr. Mu was not here anyway, so what he wanted to say? Just say that, no one refuted. Qin Mu didn't mind being vilified in front of Mr. Mu Er.

Qin Mu thought he was a villain, and he would be vengeful. Mr. Mu was so unhappy that he was in a bad mood several times, and Qin Mu wanted to make him feel bad. It would be better for Mr. Mu to write a letter and scold him. It is said that his elder brother is like a father, and his elder brother scolds his younger brother. Mr. Mu had to bear it, but he could only bear it.

"He's just a mess."

Mr. Mu said angrily, when his third brother was addicted to the land of smoke and willows, he didn't know. Mr. Mu was going to write a letter to his third brother when Mr. Wu returned and teach him a lesson.

"It doesn't matter if the second master is sick?" Liu asked.

"When I say beautiful aunt, my third uncle is fine, and the doctor said that I will recover after silence for a while, but I can't go to those smoke and willow lands anymore." Qin Mu said nonsense.

"It's fine, it's fine." Liu said patting his chest.

Butler Wu looked at Aunt Qin, who was full of lies, with a dumbfounded look. This Aunt Qin is so good. He is so good that he has caused a disease in the third master. If the third master finds out, he will not vomit blood.

But at this time, Butler Wu was not able to come out to clarify this matter, otherwise he would offend this uncle Qin. According to his ability to make up stories, if he offends him, there would be no good results. So Butler Wu wisely chose to shut up and pretend that he hadn't heard anything. Anyway, it was all about the master's family. It would be better to be a servant, don't interfere.

"The third brother lets you be such an important lobbyist?"

Mu Shangrong looked at Qin Mu with a headache and asked, "My third brother is really sick." How can I leave such an important thing to this fool? Let him be a lobbyist. Isn't this a pity that the Mu family's business is over soon?"

"Second uncle, I didn't want to come at first. Why not use a knives to kill chickens? A small Xu family doesn't need a genius like me to take action? That's too much of a polite Jinling Xu family. But the third uncle and all the officials insisted that I came to Jinling and said that I had never been to Jinling and would come to Jinling for a walk, especially on the banks of the Qinhuai River. I had to go see and see. Of course, I also solved the Xu family's joint camp."

Qin Mu said that this is making up lies to make him go to the Qinhuai River with justification. Qin Mu is not afraid of lies being exposed. All the literati and scholars in this era like to visit the Qinhuai River. He is considered a gentle person. Visiting the Qinhuai River is also an elegant activity.
