Mugui

The few of them talked for a while, and then Lin Xiao pulled Yang Mu to leave. They had to open an ancestral hall and write a family tree.

Ma didn't stop him and forced Yang Mu to have a rough jade as big as a fist and let her carve it and play with it.

After Lin Xiao took Yang Mu hand in hand and left, Ma gradually stopped smiling and said to Aunt Luo, "I'm tired."

Aunt Luo waved her hand and asked the irrelevant servants in the room to leave.

After closing the door, Ma took off her forehead mop. She rubbed the sapphire in her hand, her eyes flickering brightly and darkly.

Aunt Luo handed her tea and said, "Miss, everything is over. We are all old, so don't worry about her all the time."

She hadn't called Miss Ma for many years, and "Miss" seemed to bring her back to her youthful days.

Ma's old face sneered and said, "How can I let it go?"

Grandma Luo sighed, shook her head slightly, and gave no further advice.

Lin Xiao took Yang Mu on a different path than when he came here. As he walked, he told Yang Mu which person lived in which courtyard.

Although the second bedroom is not separated, it lives in the West Mansion and has several moon doors connected to Prince Ding's Mansion.

In the backyard of Prince Ding's Mansion, only the big family lived, and each master was assigned a large yard.

We walked all the way to the front yard, passed through the back hall and front hall, and arrived at the family temple and ancestral hall.

At this moment, the door has been opened, and the boys are coming in and out, busy preparing food and grain.

When the two entered the door, they had just gotten ready.

Lin Mao waved, called Lin Xiao and his wife to his side, and announced that it was time to start.

The etiquette of creating a family tree was originally very simple, just put an incense stick and write the words.

But the Lin family is a royal palace, so the rules are cumbersome.

There is a minister in the palace, named Chang Shisi, who must abide by all etiquette and rules.

You Changshi presided over the etiquette, starting from the entrance to the ceremony of offering incense, reporting to ancestors, kowtowing, and sacrificing three animals. Then he took out the genealogy, written by Lin Mao himself, and wrote Yang in the blank space behind Lin Xiao's name. Mu's name and family background.

If this is not the end, they have to recite the sutra three times and burn a lot of things in the brazier. Only then is it announced that the ceremony is completed.

Yang Mu stood up. Even though she was a martial arts practitioner, her knees were a little numb.

Over there, Mrs. Cao and other female relatives had to be helped directly to stand up.

Lin Mao was about to leave, but Yang Mu knelt down and picked up the futon he had just knelt on in front of Lin Mao.

Cao's eyes flashed, what did this country bumpkin want to do?
Lin Mao said: "Is this the Crown Princess?"

Yang Mu said: "Oh, it's okay. I just think this futon is a bit strange. I'm afraid some servants have unclean hands and feet, so I want to take it apart and take a look."

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's going on?" As he said this, he brought the futon.

As soon as he touched it, Lin Xiao's face darkened and he tore open the futon in front of everyone.

Mrs. Cao guessed something when Lin Xiao's expression changed. Seeing him tearing up the futon, she tried to stop him, but how could she stop him in time?
"Clang clang..."

The cloth on the surface was torn open, and a dozen stones fell out. Lin Xiao picked them up with a sullen face, and said with obvious anger: "They are all with sharp edges!"

Yang Mu casually tore open a few more futons, which were filled with soft cotton wool. It was obvious that only her futon had been stuffed.

Lin Mao took a step forward and grabbed the stone in Lin Xiao's hand. After seeing it clearly, he suddenly turned his head to look at Cao, his questioning and accusing eyes not concealed at all.

Mrs. Cao's face turned pale and she said, "It must have been done by some evil servant! Aunt Zhou, check it out for me!"

Lin Xiao knelt down, touched Yang Mu's knees, and asked, "But your knees are hurt?"

Yang Mu shook his head and said, "It's just a little painful." In fact, she was not touched. When she knelt down, she reacted quickly. As soon as she felt the sharpness, she immediately used her internal force to hit the stones to the edge of the futon.

Lin Xiao was worried and wanted to see for himself, so he simply picked up Yang Mu and said to Lin Mao, "Let me see her injuries."

After saying that, he hugged the person and left, leaving behind a temple full of people with different expressions.

Lin Mao is so angry. His daughter-in-law has been bullied many times just after she got married. If that old man Yang Zhen knows about it, he still can't take his good daughter-in-law back to the Yang family?
Lin Mao held the stone in his hand, his face darkened, and said: "There is no need for the princess to investigate, Mr. Chuanming!"

Mrs. Cao did not expect that her husband did not ask her to investigate this matter, but instead reported it to Zuo Chang Shi Mingyuan!
That is a human spirit among human spirits, a disciple of Mr. Guishan, and Lin Xiao's master of strategy. I'm afraid there are few things in the world that he can't understand!

Mrs. Cao glared at her daughter Lin Qiuchen. She wouldn't do such a thing that harmed others and was not beneficial to herself. It didn't mean that her daughter wouldn't do it.

Sure enough, guilt and fear could be seen in her daughter's eyes.

Mrs. Cao secretly hated herself for not teaching her daughter well. Since there are certain things that need to be done, they should not only harm others but not benefit themselves.

It’s not good for you. It’s just venting your anger. What’s the point?
Lin Mao flicked his sleeves and said to Butler Feng, who was missing an arm: "Everyone who can touch the futon, please buckle it for me!"

After giving orders, he rolled up his sleeves and left.

Damn it, grandma, the Lin family is embarrassed in front of the daughter of the Yang family, he doesn’t want to lose face!
Mrs. Cao looked at Lin Mao's walking back, and was supported by Aunt Zhou. She walked to Lin Qiuchen and whispered: "Come to Yong'an Courtyard!"

Lin Qiuchen was already feeling guilty. When he heard this, he immediately looked at Mr. Cao in horror.

Mr. Cao warned her with his eyes and then left first.

As everyone walked away, the second lady, Meng, slowed down a few steps and walked slowly.

Mother Cai, who was close to her, looked around and said in a low voice: "Look at me, slave, this Crown Princess is not a good person."

There was a faint smile on the corner of Meng's mouth, making her look as pale as a chrysanthemum, "The backyard of the big house hasn't been messy for a long time. If they don't mess up, how can we take advantage of the chaos to make profit?"

Mother Cai smiled and said softly: "The second lady is wise."

……

Here, Lin Xiao carried Yang Mu back to Chengqi Courtyard. Yang Mu blushed and said, "I told you it's okay, why don't you believe me!"

Lin Xiao put the person on the bed and said to Daishan who followed him: "Go to my study. There is gold sore medicine in the drawer."

Daishan responded and hurried away.

Lin Xiao lifted up Yang Mu's skirt to expose her knees. She was relieved when she saw that they were only slightly red.

Yang Mu said: "I am a second-grade person. Even if I kneel on a stone, the stone will turn into powder. What are you afraid of?"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then said: "I'm not afraid that you will be stupid and kneel down in silence!"

Yang Mu raised his eyebrows, do I look stupid?

Daishan brought the golden sore medicine, and Lin Xiao applied it to Yang Mu's knees very skillfully.

Yang Mu was curious, "Do you often give medicine to people?"

Lin Xiao said: "I often gave myself medicine when I was a child."

He put away the small bottle of golden sore medicine and said: "When I was a child, I didn't understand that people's hearts are sinister. I mistakenly regarded evil people as relatives."

What he said made Yang Mu curious and asked: "Is the princess plotting against you?"

Lin Xiao raised his eyes, looked into Yang Mu's gossipy eyes, and smiled helplessly: "You don't even feel sorry for me, you just know how to listen to stories."

Yang Mu covered his heart and said seriously: "I feel bad! That's why I want to hear it!"

Lin Xiao was full of disbelief, but he still kept talking to her.
