C66 (1/2)
Yang Zixuan remembered that it was his own teacher and also Mu Rousang's godfather, so he said: ”Xiao Tong, you go down and prepare yourself. The present is even heavier than the previous ones, and I remember that other than the top-grade Snow Lotuses and Winter Worm Summer Grass that you left for Xiao Sangsang, there are also some other things on the account.
”Got it!” Xiao Tong helped him pack and went down to help.
Yang Zixuan found his way to the backyard, only to see the man sitting leisurely on a cold chair, waving a fan in one hand and a cup of tea in the other, looking at Mu Jinzhi playing with the sword: ”Tsk, tsk, no wonder the little cousin was lost on the streets back then, you don't seem to be as anxious as the others.”
”Whoosh!” Mu Jinzhi swung his Wandering Dragon Sword and sliced off the upper part of the paper fan, leaving only the light in Zuo Ren Xian's hands, causing him to be stupefied.
”Jin Zhi, I heard from Xiao Tong that you were looking for me?”
”Big brother Yang, you're here!” Mu Jinzhi ignored the dazed Zuo Ren Xian, and took the cloth from the servant to wipe his sweat.
”Come sit down and have a cup of green tea. It's my sister's tea made from wild chrysanthemums.”
”Brother Jin, that fan was something from the previous dynasty.”
”It's a deal!” Zuo Ren Xian walked over with a smile.
Mu Jinzhi brewed three cups of tea, carried one cup to him, and said: ”I have long disliked that worn-out fan, it's not like it's some famous scholar's poem, I can just cut it, when I go back to work on my sister's furniture, I will use some side materials to make more for you, it's enough for you to show off.”
”Thank you, Brother Jin. You are a man who doesn't know how to live without hunger, your poor cousin is a pauper ah. Even now, you don't say you're a rich man, but you've become one who owes him a debt.”
When the other two heard his obvious complaint, they were speechless. Was there such a person? Obviously, everyone had borrowed money to help him, but when the lichen caught fire, he would have quite a few houses built with it. This time, he would not even need to pay back the money he had earned, he would earn tens of thousands of taels of Snowflake Silver for nothing.
Yang Zixuan coughed lightly, he could not be bothered with this fellow, and turned to ask Mu Jinzhi: ”Are you discussing going to the Xiangyang today?”
Mu Jinzhi said with some difficulty: ”En, big brother Yang, let me be frank with you, but I think you must know who caused my sister's heart disease. Now that the Second Sister's wedding day is approaching, my sister will definitely go, but at that time, big brother Yang … …”
Mu Jinzhi sighed: ”It's fortunate that big brother Yang is magnanimous. My sister's character, sigh, perhaps has something to do with her bitter experiences as a child, and is a little too strong.”
All the sons of rich families, who could escape the maid that their elders sent over, would naturally have to act as an aunt if they had a son.
After slightly muttering to himself, Yang Zixuan smiled and said: ”Jin Jin, I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. My mother left early because of the underhanded methods at the back of the house. If the two of you accept a concubine, then you must also pay attention to balancing the back house.
Zuo Ren was born in a wealthy village, so he yearned to have a man hug him from the left and right. When he heard Yang Zixuan's words, it immediately extinguished the fiery dream that was in his heart.
”Let's not talk about that anymore, the harem is always under the direct control of my wife, my mother is doing pretty well.” Forget about that, the harem is under the direct control of my wife, my mother is doing pretty well, my sisters are also under the guidance of the upbringing aunt.
Yang Zixuan did not say much after hearing this.
There were no elders in Mu Jinzhi's home, and he was in a simple sect, so he did not have much feelings for Mu Jinzhi.
Yang Zixuan also explained his own plan. After Mu Jinzhi heard this, he said: ”The last time big sister was betrothed to me, my family wasn't as prosperous as they are now. Later on, when cousin was betrothed to me, it was only at the same level as her.
His family had several hundred thousand taels of silver on hand. If he were to take out another two hundred silver taels, he might not be able to afford it.
”How hard would that be? Just ask Xiao Sangsang, she should have discussed this with the second young mistress of the Wei family.” Yang Zixuan remembered that before he left the capital, he went to see Wei Ping.
Mu Jinzhi slapped his forehead and said, ”That's right, before you left for the Western Regions, I had told her about this matter, but I was too busy to remember it.”
He immediately called Shi Shu over to give him some instructions, and then sent him off to ask Mu Rousang.
Mu Rousang was busy in the kitchen rubbing round pills. Cough, this was even given to him by Yang Zixuan when she sent the letter of appointment, but she said later that she had eaten it the next morning and had forgotten about it.
