The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 271
After hearing Meier's description, Mu Xu could confirm that the person she mentioned was Qin Zhong, and then he asked curiously, "I wonder how much money he spent with you?"

This mother Fan couldn't be more clear. Listening to Mu Xu's question at this moment, she dared not hide anything, so she replied honestly, "If you go back to Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin probably spent two thousand taels of silver."

After hearing this, Mu Xu didn't speak, but tapped lightly on the table with his fingers while thinking about it. He was originally angry and wanted to teach him a lesson because he knew that Qin Zhong had cheated Qin Keqing.But when the matter came to an end, he suddenly realized that it was really difficult for him to show his face, otherwise Qin Keqing might be caught in the middle of a dilemma.

Hearing the sound of knocking on the table, and seeing Mu Xu's uncertain face, Mother Fan became more and more frightened. She couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, so she took a step forward, gritted her teeth and asked the most concerned question, " I don't know who that Mr. Qin is, who belongs to him?"

"He's my friend's younger brother." Mu Xu was thinking about something in his heart, and he replied casually when he heard the words. Besides, he was too lazy to play tricks with a Qinlou old bustard.

Hearing that the person surnamed Qin was an acquaintance of Mr. Mu, Mama Fan thought she understood the purpose of his appointment.She thought about it secretly, and felt that offending the Dongping Palace for such a small amount of money would not be worth the loss, and might cause trouble to the master's family, so Dang even put a smile on her face and said, "Oh, since that Mr. Qin is The young master’s old acquaintance, how can we accept his money, the slave family will let him return the money he spent to the young master.”

"Hmph, don't you think I've seen such a little money?" Mu Xu's face sank, and he said a little unhappy.

"Ah, what is the purpose of the young man's visit?"

"I want him to stop coming to the brothel in the future, maybe you can do it?"

"My son really likes to joke, how can the slave family control these things? That Lord Qin has legs and feet, even if he doesn't come to us, he can choose to go to other places."

Of course Mu Xu knew this, so he just said it casually.And he had already thought of a way at this moment, and immediately explained, "If he comes to Yiyun Tower again, you tell him that since he is a regular customer here, if he has no money to pay in the future, he can put it on the account first."

"This... I'm afraid it's inappropriate. If Mr. Qin hangs around with us and the cost is too high, I can't explain it to my boss." As soon as Mama Fan finished speaking, she saw Mu Xu general Several banknotes were thrown on the table.

"Here is two thousand taels of silver, which is enough to make up for your losses. But you'd better do what I say next, or you will bear the consequences."

Mother Fan's heart trembled, and she quickly assured her, "Young Master, despite your orders, I will do my best."

"When he stays here for ten days and a half months, you will double his expenses several times, and then go to his house to ask his father to settle the bill. If not, then make a big fuss about it. It's better to make a fuss." It’s good for everyone to know.”

"But I don't know where he lives. Where can I find his father?"

Mu Xu sneered, "Oh, don't tell me, you have nothing to do with a young man who has no power to restrain you. You used all the methods you used to deal with scoundrels. But I hope you remember clearly, No matter who he mentioned in his mouth, you can only look for his father, and you are not allowed to disturb others!"

Hearing that she could do whatever she wanted, Mother Fan immediately smiled and agreed. Although she didn't know what the young master's idea was, this matter was really easy for her.

Now that the purpose of this trip has been achieved, Mu Xu didn't stay any longer, and immediately raised his legs and walked out.Seeing this, Fan's mother hurriedly followed behind and sent Mu Xu all the way out of the gate before returning.

It wasn't until this moment that Meier dared to ask the question that had been in her heart for a long time, "Mom, what is the identity of that son, I think you seem to be very afraid of him."

Mother Fan glanced at Meier, and said disdainfully, "Hmph, thanks to the fact that you have received many nobles from the capital in the past! Let me ask you, how many families are there with the surname Mu in the capital?"

Mei'er froze on the spot, thought for a long time, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she blurted out, "It's Dongping..."

"Don't stop, you can say that!" Mother Fan hurriedly covered Mei'er's mouth, and when she saw no one around, she reminded in a low voice, "Since they don't want to disclose their identities, let's just treat them like that." I don't even know, and I can't tell others that I have seen this young master, so as not to cause trouble." After seeing Meier nodding, she took her hand away, thought for a while and said, "Wait for that Qin Come back in a few days, you have to take good care of him, and you must not let him run away early."

"Mom looks down on people too much. It's not easy to deal with that surnamed Qin. As long as I do a little trick to keep him docile and obedient."

"It's good that you know what's in your mind." Mama Fan waved her hand and signaled Mei'er to leave quickly, "Okay, you can go and rest by yourself, maybe the person surnamed Qin will come at night, you should prepare in advance, I won't give you any money recently. Then arrange guests." Looking at Meier's leaving figure, Fan's mother murmured, "Should we inform the host when we come out today?"

……

This day, Mu Xu had just picked up Daiyu's mother and son from the Lin family back to the mansion. While the husband and wife were talking, Mei Jian came to report that Liu Fang, the first-class son of the Duke of Li's mansion, sent someone to pay a visit.He just thought about it for a while, and then he understood what was going on, so he asked Mei Jiandao, "Who is the man from Liguo's mansion?"

Mei Jian replied, "It's the chief steward of their house."

"Let Yang An receive me for a while." Mu Xu didn't have much affection for Liu Fang, and when he heard that it was his servants who came, he was even less interested in meeting guests.

When Mei Jian took the order to leave, Daiyu on the side asked worriedly, "Will this be a little disrespectful, and after all, the Liguo Palace also belongs to the four princes and eight princes?"

"If Liu Fang sent his son here, I would naturally come forward in person, but the ones who came were his servants. It is enough for Yang An to act on my behalf." Mu Xu didn't want to mention this matter, so he changed the subject immediately. "Did my father-in-law record Pan'er in the family tree?"

Daiyu replied, "No, my father already met my uncle, and he also agreed to let Brother Pan fall under my mother's name. But my father said that this is not grand enough, and plans to find an auspicious day, and open it under the witness of relatives and friends." The ancestral hall, and then formally record Brother Pan on the genealogy."

"Father-in-law is right in thinking this way, but nights and dreams are unavoidable. If your grandmother hears the news, many disturbances may arise out of thin air." Mu Xu shook his head, disapproving of Lin Ruhai's move.

Daiyu Emei frowned slightly, and said with some hesitation, "Grandmother probably won't stop this matter, after all, this matter is just our Lin family's family business."

"If it's just recorded in someone else's name, then your grandmother has nothing to say, but it's not the case if it's recorded in the name of your mother-in-law. It means that Pan'er is the grandson of the Jia family from now on, and it's up to him to maintain the relationship with the Jia family." .Do you think your grandmother likes to hang out with you, or with Pan'er, who doesn't have the slightest Jia family blood?"

Of course Daiyu knew the answer to this question, but from her point of view, the Jia and Lin families are good relatives by marriage, but there is no need to be tied together all the time. Could it be that the Lin family is a vassal of the Jia family?However, she can understand Mu Xu's worries. Instead of causing trouble, it's better to kill him first and play later, "I'll write a letter to my father, so that I can persuade him to record Pan'er in the genealogy as soon as possible."

Seeing that Daiyu understood the key points, Mu Xu smiled and said, "It's great that you can think this way. After all, in this matter, your grandmother occupies the rightful place. If she stands up to oppose it, it will definitely affect my father-in-law. reputation."

Daiyu was about to thank Mu Xu for her kindness to her father, when she saw Mei Jian walking in again, she had no choice but to suppress the words that came to her lips to see what he had to report.

"My son, Yang An has finished receiving the people from the Liguo Mansion, and now I am here to report to you."

Mu Xu nodded, greeted Daiyu, went outside the courtyard, and waved at Yang An who was going to salute, "Why did Liu Fang send someone here?"

"My son, Lord Liu sent a butler to deliver a letter." Yang An delivered a letter while speaking.

Mu Xu opened the letter casually, and saw that there were only a few banknotes in it, and there was no letter other than that. He took out the banknotes and counted them, and found that it was exactly four thousand taels. Thinking of this, Liu Fang is quite slippery!"
