Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 41
"Xiao Shizi is extremely talented, even better than Chen...Prince Qi who was amazingly talented 18 years ago. If you can worship him as your teacher, you will definitely become a famous Confucianist..."

There was a short pause in the words of appreciation, but Mu Yutang, who had been a secret agent, heard it clearly. The name of King Qi was Xiao Yuanxu, and his title did not have the word Chen. The word Chen in the Master’s mouth should refer to another A person with amazing talents, for some reason, he changed to Xiao Qingyu's father, Prince Qi at a critical moment...

18 years ago, it was a relatively long time ago, and it had nothing to do with her "one dream for a thousand years". She didn't bother to care about it. Finding a way to enter the top three is the most important thing for her now.

Sitting in front of the table, Mu Yunjia couldn't help being overjoyed, Shizi Xiao wanted to accept an apprentice, this was a great opportunity to get close to him, it was once in a thousand years, and he couldn't miss it.

Xiao Shizi's talent is unparalleled. He is the best person in the capital. Only the best students of Mengyao Academy are worthy to be his disciples. I must be the first in the competition!

Mu Yutang first chanted flowery poems to each other, and then entertained all kinds of birds. Her talent is evident. She is a strong opponent for herself. If she wants to win her steadily, she must use some tricks...

The list was announced, and the selected students were all engaged in intense study. In the blink of an eye, it was the day before the competition. Coincidentally, this day happened to be the anniversary of the death of Mu Yutang's grandfather and grandmother.

In the past, the original owner would go to the grave to worship. In order to prevent others from seeing the clue, Mu Yutang also followed the original owner's habit and prepared a lot of sacrificial items, and went to the grave to do his part of filial piety.

Carrying the basket, she walked out of the gate, and met Mu Yunjia who was wearing a plain dress. She smiled slightly and said politely, "My sister is going to pay homage to grandpa and grandma. It's really filial. I'll go with my sister!"

Mu Yutang frowned. Mu Yunjia was born of a common wife, so she repulsed her first wife. She had her own grandparents, so she definitely hated her grandparents' family even more. She endured the hatred and volunteered to accompany her to worship , definitely not well-intentioned.

"Thank you for your kindness, my sister. I will have a test tomorrow. My sister's time is precious. How dare I take it up. My sister should study at home. It would be better to come back first in the exam and win glory for Duke Mu!"

Mu Yutang's words were ridiculed, Mu Yunjia's complexion changed, and then he returned to normal, and said with a smile: "I can recite the homework taught by the master, so I don't need to study it again, sister, grandpa, grandma's The anniversary of death only comes once a year, so I, as a younger sister, have to pay my respects anyway, it's getting late, let's get in the car!"

Fearing that Mu Yutang would refuse, Mu Yunjia said while helping the servant girl to get into the carriage, with her back to Mu Yutang, her smiling little face just now was instantly covered with haze: Mu Yutang, let me go first. You are proud for a moment, and soon after, it will make your life worse than death!

Looking at Mu Yunjia's back hidden in the car curtain, Mu Yutang's dark eyes flashed coldly: Mu Yunjia is determined to go to worship grandpa and grandma, even if he ignores her and sits in another car. If the carriage goes, she will follow with a stern face.

The legs are on her body, and I can't stop them even if I want to, so let her do whatever she wants, stay in her own place, it's best not to make trouble for herself, if she has no good intentions and secretly trips her up, I will never show mercy.

The tombs of the Su couple are in the suburbs. The carriage drove Mu Yutang and Mu Yunjia across the bustling streets, walked out of the south gate, and drove onto a remote path.

Mu Yutang was sitting in front of the car window, slowly sipping the fragrant tea, when Mu Yunjia was a transparent person who didn't say a word, Mu Yunjia was not annoyed, and lightly lifted a corner of the car curtain, looking at Looking out the window, I don't know what I'm thinking.

Suddenly, the steadily moving carriage jolted violently, the strings of beads in the carriage swayed wildly, all the small objects were displaced, and the snacks on the plate were scattered all over the carriage, Mu Yutang grabbed the side of the carriage , barely stabilized his body, but his head was dizzy from the shaking, and the beautiful Liu Mei frowned.

Although the graves of my grandfather and grandmother are in the suburbs, there are often ordinary people walking on the passing path, so it shouldn't be so bumpy!
Just as I was about to ask the coachman what was going on, a rough voice came into the carriage: "Stop the car and rob!"

This place is only ten miles away from the city gate, and it is still within the scope of the capital. Who would dare to block the road and rob?

Mu Yutang's cold and beautiful eyes froze, and she opened the curtain to look out. More than a dozen middle-aged men were standing 20 meters away, blocking the path, waving long swords in their hands, Da Dao shouted viciously: "Hand over the money, and I will spare you!"

"Miss, what should I do?" The coachman drove the car for Duke Mu's mansion all the year round, and he was always gentle and smooth. When he encountered robbery for the first time, he was flustered and nervous, his head was bewildered, and he couldn't think of any way to get out of trouble.

"The path is too narrow, and there are trees on both sides. The carriage cannot turn around. There are too many of them, and we are at a disadvantage. My sister and I are both weak women with no power to restrain the chicken. We can't fight hard with them. They rob us." It's nothing more than asking for money, let's stop the car, give them the money first, buy peace, and then let the Jingzhao Mansion send people to exterminate these hateful robbers after returning to Beijing."

Mu Yunjia rushed ahead of Mu Yutang to analyze clearly, and with a soft snort, she reached out and took off the purse from her waist unwillingly.

Mu Yutang glanced at the roof of the carriage: such a large sign of Duke Mu's Mansion is hanging there, it is impossible for the robbers not to see it, and their accents are exactly the same as those of the people in the capital. Mu Guogong, is he amazingly courageous, or does he have other plans.

"Refugees and bandits are tricky and hateful. They are clamoring for money, but I don't believe it, let alone stop to pay money. If my sister wants to get out of the car alone and reason with them, I have no objection..."

Mu Yutang's light and fluffy words brought a thunderbolt to Mu Yunjia, and her movement of holding the silver suddenly stopped, her slightly proud face froze instantly, and she gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, and threw her, a weak woman, into the group of robbers. Did Mu Yutang want to tarnish her reputation, or did she want to ruin her reputation?

Uneasy bitch!
"What my sister said is very true, I was negligent, everything is up to my sister!" The robbers are a group of rough men, vulgar and disgusting, Mu Yutang didn't get out of the car, and Mu Yunjia didn't even bother to pay attention to them.

"Speed ​​up, drive the carriage over there, no matter what happens, don't stop." Mu Yutang coldly ordered: The bandits guard the path fiercely, and if the carriage stops for a moment, they will be trapped and enter the road. Dangerous, Mu Yutang is not afraid of these robbers, but just doesn't bother to pay attention to them.

"Yes!" The coachman got the order, sat upright, shook the reins with piercing eyes, and the fast horse rushed towards the robbers, pulling the carriage like an arrow off the string.

15 meters, 12 meters, eight meters... The carriage was getting closer and closer to the robbers, Mu Yutang's dark eyes flashed a look of indifference, everyone had only one life, she didn't believe that the robbers would do it for money , not afraid of death to block the rampaging carriage...
