"Madam went to the street to buy silk thread today. When she came back, a child suddenly rushed in front of the carriage and threw a firecracker at the horse."
"child?"
"Yes, the slave went up to ask. It's just a child of an ordinary farm family. The child's parents rushed forward and kowtowed to admit their mistakes, and the wife didn't care any more."
Mu Yunyao's brows twitched, not to mention why the child suddenly rushed in front of the carriage, the firecrackers alone are questionable. Although Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, none of the ordinary people will play firecrackers for their children during the New Year.
Seeing that she was still worried, Su Qing comforted: "Mother just accidentally twisted her foot, it's not in the way."
Mu Yunyao squatted down quickly to help Su Qing check her ankle, but it was slightly red and swollen, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Mom, try to go out as little as possible for the past two days, I'm afraid it won't be easy this time."
"it is good."
Liu Liang was not around, and Mu Yunyao didn't fully trust Siqin and the others, so she only kept this matter in her heart for a while, and told everyone in Niyunfang to be extra careful.
She suddenly woke up in the night, smelled a scorching breath, put on her clothes and ran out, while shouting Jin Lan and others, and when she was downstairs, she could already see the fire.
Jin Lan and the others were reminded by Mu Yunyao long ago, but they were still able to hold on to it. They took the water basin and quickly put out the flames. The fire was not big, but the curtain was lit, and the walls were blackened.
Mu Yunyao's brows were wrinkled, and her heart was cold. She was extra careful in the past two days, reminding Jin Lan and the others to put some flammable fabrics and threads in their room, and put them away carefully, just for fear of someone She couldn't help setting fire to Niyunfang, but she didn't expect that she had guessed it right.
Jin Lan and the others did not dare to make a sound, but Su Qing limped down the stairs and interrupted Mu Yunyao's contemplation: "Mother, a little thing is no big deal, why did you come downstairs?"
Seeing the burning curtains and the water stains on the ground, Su Qing couldn't help covering his chest: "Yao'er, those people's methods are too vicious."
"Don't worry, mother, in two days, I'll let them return one by one!" Mu Yunyao's voice was cold, her black eyes were bottomless, as if she had absorbed all the light around her.
Hearing Mu Yunyao say this, Su Qing couldn't help worrying: "Yao'er, don't be too impulsive, fortunately the fire didn't burn."
"Don't worry, mother, I have my senses."
Mrs. Jin knew what happened in Niyunfang, so she came to visit: "Yunyao, it's not a big deal, right?"
Mu Yunyao hurriedly went up to meet her: "I have seen Madam, which made you worry. I found it in time. I only burned a little drapery and cleaned it up a little."
Mrs. Jin frowned: "Where's your mother, does it matter?"
"Just twisting her foot, it won't get in the way." As Mu Yunyao said, she led Madam Jin to sit down and let Jin Lan serve fruit tea, "Madam is pregnant, let's drink some fruit tea."
Mrs. Jin's expression couldn't help but relax: "Seeing that you are stable like this, I am relieved. That is two days, and it will be fine after two days."
Mu Yunyao nodded: "It's only by thinking of Madam's words that I can be so stable." She is not in a bad temper. Those people hurt Su Qing, and the debt will naturally be paid back, but these words cannot be reconciled. Mrs. Kim said.
"In the past two days, I will send more people to guard around Niyunfang. You should be more alert. There is no better way at this time." The people she sent did not notice any suspicious people approaching. Niyunfang, if you can't find evidence, everything is in vain.
"Thank you ma'am."
After seeing Mrs. Jin away, Mu Yunyao leaned back on the chair and pondered carefully. After thinking for a while, she suddenly got up and went back upstairs, picking up a pen and paper to write a letter to King Yue.
There may be 30% of King Yue in Niyunfang. Now there are frequent incidents here, and they were almost burned. Naturally, I have to tell King Yue about it. In addition, I should send some silver taels over. Seeing real gold and silver, King Yue can only pay more attention.
The place in western Guangdong is very bitter and cold. I heard that even the army's salaries are not enough, so this time she will send some more silver taels over there, and then she will make up for it later.
Steward Qin was a little surprised to see Mu Yunyao, at this time her face was full of tiredness and pale: "Steward Qin, I have a letter and some things I want to send to the fourth master, I don't know how to inconvenient?"
"Naturally it's convenient, girl, what's the matter?"
Mu Yunyao smiled wryly: "It's nothing, but a lot of things happened in Niyunfang recently. Someone wanted to set fire in Niyunfang last night. Fortunately, it was found in time, so it didn't cause any damage." What kind of thing?" Qin Guanshi's eyes froze, no matter whether Mu Yunyao and the prince can succeed in the future, for now, she is helping to prepare the tea house, so that the prince can put eyeliner in Jiangnan in an upright manner, and he can't watch her being attacked. Bullied, "Miss Mu, don't worry, I'll get someone as soon as possible.
Check it out, find out what news, and definitely notify the girl as soon as possible. "
Mu Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Manager Qin."
The next two days were calm and calm, and Su Qing's heart that had been hanging was slightly relieved. On the third day, Mu Yunyao was called by Mrs. Jin to Cao’s house early: “Yunyao, we have received the exact news, the emperor’s reward will come down today, and Governor Zhang has brought officials to meet him, we will wait I'm going to the Governor's Mansion in a while, you need to clean up again, don't be rude
square. "
Mu Yunyao knew that Mrs. Jin was kind, and followed Yinhong to the mirror to sort out the makeup that she had looked over several times in the mirror, with excitement on her face, but not much in her heart.
For this day, she has worked hard for a long time, and now she has got what she wanted, but she just feels it is right, and she does not have the fear and excitement she imagined.
Outside Jingling City, a team of 100 people escorted two carts into Jingling City quickly.
The officials guarded the city gate early, and the streets have long been banned, and there are no people walking around.
Governor Zhang was at the head of the officials, and when he saw the team stopped, he hurried forward: "Master Su has been running all the way. It's hard work." The young man in light armor dismounted and returned the salute to Governor Zhang. His face was like a crown jade, his body was tall and straight, and his phoenix eyes were like stars.
To get him is like Qiongzhi Yushu, extraordinary. Standing in the ranks of officials, Cao Yunnian looked at the young man and sighed inwardly. As expected, he was brought up by the Su family. At the age of twenty, he was exceptionally promoted to the first-class bodyguard by the emperor to escort the emperor to reward such an important task. Dare to let him come, no matter how he is already in the officialdom
It has been ten years since I was on the top, and I just became a fourth-rank concubine. This person really can't be compared. Governor Zhang led the youth to escort the emperor's reward all the way to the governor's mansion. The other officials were attentively accompanying with a smile, but their eyes couldn't stop staring at the two carriages.
