Chapter 40
"Go call the door." Yuan Mu motioned to Yuan Jia.

Yuan Jia nodded, stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times. His fist was as big as a sandbag. When he knocked on the door, the sound was not much different from hitting with a hammer, and he quickly alerted the people inside the door. In a panic, a young servant came and opened the door a crack.

"Who are you looking for... ouch!" The poor boy held the door with one hand, and before he could finish his question, Yuan Jia pushed the door, and he was thrown along with the door. In the past, if he hadn't let go quickly and sat on the ground, he might have been stuck to the top of the stone wall behind the door now.

This little servant is not too old, but he is quite clever. When he looked at Yuan Jia, he knew that this big man could not stop himself by getting up and questioning him. I ran inside and reported the letter.

Yuan Mu was obviously accustomed to this posture, he lifted the hem of his clothes, stepped over the threshold, and walked inside.

yo!Mu Liuyun's eyes lit up, and his waist straightened a lot involuntarily.

As a small manager, I usually go out to do errands. If the other party respects her, it will be a little bit official. When I meet a wealthy family in Taiping County like the Guo family, they also claim to have a family member. Xiesheng, when he walks outside, he lifts his chin. How can he take a manager out of the eighth rank who joins the army in his eyes.

If he came alone, [-]% of them would still be waiting at the gate.

Now that he is so swaggering and directly intruding, Mu Liuyun more or less feels a kind of dog fighting against others... Ah bah!I felt a kind of fox-fake tiger power... Forget it, that's about it.

A group of people walked straight in, bypassed the mountain screen wall carved with magpies, and walked a few steps into the yard, and someone came out to greet them, the leader was the young man who had just run in to report the news, and there were still people behind. Following five or six people, most of them can be seen from the clothes they are servants of the family, and there are two people who look like a father and son. There is no crown on the head, only a Futou.

Followed by him was a man in his twenties. He was thin and thin. He was wearing a blue-gray straight jacket.

Mu Liuyun recognized the two as Guo Houfu, the patriarch of the Guo family, and his second son, Guo Hongye.

She recognized the father and son of the Guo family, and the father and son of the Guo family naturally recognized her.

Guo Houfu has been in business for many years, and his eyes are full of light, but he is still aggressive, and he will have the attitude of an uninvited guest who forcibly broke into his house. When he sees Mu Liuyun, he is slightly taken aback, and then takes a look at the person walking in front of Mu Liuyun. Yuan Mu's expression changed slightly. He put his hands behind his back and gestured at Guo Hongye.

Guo Houfu didn't know Yuan Mu, but he knew that the person who could make Mu Liuyun follow him was definitely a member of the yamen, so his attitude became more polite, as if someone didn't break into his house, but he entered by mistake. The chassis of others is the same.

"Musili, you came to our house suddenly, what's the matter?" He asked Mu Liuyun with a smile.

Mu Liuyun first glanced at Yuan Mu, saw that he shook his head slightly to himself, and understood, without introducing Yuan Mu's identity first, he answered Guo Houfu directly: "Manager Guo, I don't know if your boss, Guo Hongqing, is at home?"

As soon as Mu Liuyun opened his mouth, he was about to find his own son, Guo Hongqing. Guo Houfu's expression changed slightly. He was still smiling. , not at home at the moment!"

"Oh? I didn't expect Brother Guo to study so diligently, it really makes Mu Mou ashamed!" Mu Liuyun laughed.

"After the autumn, he will go to the Four Gates Academy of Beijing to study and prepare for the provincial examination in the coming year. He really should work hard." Identity, "If the dog has the ability to be a manager, then he can be the same as the manager. You don't have to embarrass yourself and have to learn the way of the article!"

Doesn't this make it clear that he is not a good material for reading!With a smile on his face, Mu Liuyun silently greeted the tablets in the Guo family's ancestral hall one by one.

"Manager Guo, can your daughter-in-law stay at home?" Mu Liuyun asked again.

Hearing this, Guo Houfu's expression became gloomy: "Does the manager want to inquire about the women's family in the back house?"

"But not at home?" Mu Liuyun ignored him and continued to ask.

Guo Hongye, who was on the side, nodded and replied on behalf of his father, "Sister-in-law, she went out to burn incense and worship Buddha, but she is not at home."

As soon as the words came out, Guo Houfu turned his head and glared fiercely, he quickly lowered his eyelids and stood aside, no longer saying a word.

"Exactly, my old mother's body has not been very healthy recently. My daughter-in-law has always been filial to her grandmother, so she will go to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and ask the Buddha to bless her with good health." Guo Houfu rolled his eyes and took the words.

Don't you just want to cover up the fact that the bride has no movement in her stomach when she enters the door!
Mu Liuyun didn't say anything, just nodded to him: "Can you call Brother Guo back? There are some things I need to ask him."

"This..." Guo Houfu looked suspicious and wanted to ask Mu Liuyun what to do with Guo Hongqing.

Mu Liuyun didn't give him this chance, so he waved at him: "Manager Guo, just send someone!"

She said so, Guo Houfu didn't dare to be too negligent, and quickly gave Guo Hongye a wink, Guo Hongye turned and left, Guo Houfu turned around again, and politely welcomed them to the living room for tea.

Yuan Mu didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word, Yuan Jia and Yuan Yi were like two statues, and Mu Liuyun didn't know what kind of medicine Yuan Mu's gourd was selling, in front of Guo Houfu. Inconvenient to inquire, can only hold back curiosity.

"Musili is really busy!" Guo Houfu poured the tea for her, "It's just that you have suffered for your mother, a woman who doesn't care about her face, shows her face all day long, and manages the business inside and outside of the tea house. It's not easy!"

At first glance, he seemed to be praising Mrs. Mu, but someone with long ears could tell something was wrong.

"It's not uncommon for me to do business with a woman in the Rui Dynasty, but my mother is old, and I have been trying to persuade her to work less. After all, I served as a manager in the prefecture's yamen and joined the army, and the imperial court paid a monthly salary. , the burden is heavy. She really doesn't have to be the same as the shopkeeper Guo." Mu Liuyun sighed helplessly, "but my mother doesn't listen to advice, I also have a headache."

Shopkeeper Guo's smirk froze, and he was unhappy, but he couldn't break it, so he had no choice but to stop mentioning Mrs. Mu and the Mu family's teahouse.

 Thank you for the reward!
