Chapter 20 Buying Cloth for Three Sisters and Four Lotuses

Mu Bin still felt sorry for his youngest son. He didn't ask any questions in front of Mrs. Liu, but turned around and sent the people around him to ask. Before Mou Biao returned home, he knew the whole story. The matter was not caused by his son, but he didn't want him to cause trouble outside. When the boy came back, he planned to scare him.

But who knew that Mou Biao didn't fear him at all, he said with a smile,

"Father, you underestimate your son too much. How can vulgar fans get into your son's eyes? My son has become a hero once, but there is no beauty!"

A beautiful woman should be like Miss Han Wu, with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes with a smile, and red lips. The mother and daughter who sell faces are ordinary-looking. Now, let him think about it now, and he can't even remember what he looks like!

Mu Bin was annoyed by his son,

"Then... according to what you mean, it's a pity that there is no beauty to save you?"

Mu Biao laughed,
"It's good to have beauties, but if there are no beauties... my son has to draw his sword to help when he sees injustice!"

Mu Bin gave his son an angry look,
"There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this capital city. How old are you? Don't think that just by practicing a few tricks and embroidering legs, you dare to meddle in everything. This time you met a slut who was hollowed out by wine and sex, and brought a A few ordinary servants, if you encounter a hard stubble, let's see if you are as lucky as you are today!"

Mou Biao replied,

"Don't you still have your father? My son is not a fool. If he can't beat you, don't you know how to bring your name out?"

Mu Bin was angry and funny at the same time.

"Boy, your father's name is really useful. Let's not say it officially. There are too many people in the Jianghu who don't sell the face of Jinyiwei. They will kill one person in ten steps, and they will not stay for thousands of miles. Even if Jin Yiwei's spies are all over the world, there's no way out, so what do I think of you then?"

Mu Biao nodded,

"Father, don't worry, who can provoke and who can't, son, I understand in my heart!"

On the ground of the capital, no matter if they are born in a princely or noble family, relatives of the emperor, or high-ranking officials, wealthy families, they all have their own set of rules of survival. Yes, the ten-year-old Mou Biao may not understand, how could Mou Biao, who has been a martial arts champion, and has been in court and military camps, not understand?

In this world, a mountain is higher than a mountain, even the one sitting on the throne, there is someone who can't be offended!
When Mu Bin saw that his son was willing to listen to the lesson, he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced.

"Sure enough, it's good to send me to study outside, but I'm more sensible than before!"

At dinner, Mou Bin and his youngest son appeared in the back hall together. Everyone was a little surprised when they saw Mou Biao who was unharmed. Fifth Yiniang was worried for a long time. Putting it down, Liu Shi observed his words and expressions, and found that her husband was not angry, she was surprised in her heart, but there was a soft smile on her face,
"Okay, it will be fine when Lao Ba comes back, master... let's have dinner!"

Mou Bin nodded, everyone took their seats, everyone was curious, but no one dared to ask questions, Mrs. Liu talked about the Chinese New Year with a smile,

"Master, seeing that the second sister is going to get married after the new year, why not make it more grand this year, and invite all the relatives at home to have fun?"

Once a daughter's family is married, it belongs to someone else's family, even returning to her mother's family is rare. Liu wants to reunite with her brothers and sisters from her mother's family before her daughter is married.

Mu Bin thought for a while and nodded,

"Okay, it's good to be lively and lively during the New Year's Day!"

Seeing him nodding, Mrs. Liu couldn't help being overjoyed.

"Thank you sir!"

Mou Bin came from a low family background, and there are not many relatives in Beijing. During the New Year's festival, most of the relatives are entertained by the Liu family. There are also many complaints in my heart, and now I finally let my husband relax through the matter of my daughter, so I am naturally very happy, so I enthusiastically plan various matters during the New Year's Day, and ordered the first aunt and second aunt The general, let the two help me to handle it, and the two aunts naturally nodded and accepted the order when they heard the words.

These homely things are not in the list of young master Mou Ba's concern. Hearing the words, he just ignores them, and forgets them after hearing them!

After the banquet was over, Wu Yiniang followed her son back to the courtyard, asked about today's events, Mou Biao told her one by one, but Shao took his hand and said,
"My good young master, we young masters did not do the hands-on work. If you want to beat someone up and let Mou Long and Mou Hu go, why bother to do it yourself? You are a noble man, so you can't hurt yourself." Already!"

Mou Biao looked indifferent,
"Auntie underestimated me too much, those few tricks can't hurt me!"

But he was quite confident, but Fifth Aunt was very worried, so she sent Mou Long out the next day, and from then on, the two brothers accompanied Mou Biao to school.

Mou Long has a stable temperament, not as heartless as his brothers. After accompanying Mou Biao to school, he urged him to go home quickly. Seeing Mou Huxian sitting down on the noodle stall, he said to Mou Biao,
"Master, the master said, don't delay outside, don't make troubles, and go back to the house as soon as school is over!"

The most important thing is to avoid causing trouble!
Mou Biao rolled his eyes,

"Master, I'm hungry, what can I delay when I go back after eating?"

Seeing that he was not moving, Mou Long had no choice but to sit down. Not long after, Jia Silian brought three big bowls of noodles. Mou Biao picked it up with his chopsticks and saw that there were eggs underneath. Don't feel bad, the three and a half children are all martial arts practitioners, they eat a lot, even a big bowl of noodles is only half full.

The three stood up, Mou Biao asked Mou Long to throw a piece of broken silver, Jia Silian hurriedly said,

"It's too much! It's too much! Master Mou, our noodles are only three copper coins per bowl, and three bowls of noodles don't cost so much!"

Mou Biao waved his hands in response,

"Take it as my reward for you!"

After saying that, she jumped into the bullock cart and left without looking back. Jia Silian looked at the ingot of silver in her hand, and thought about it.

"Combine this money with the money given by the aunt of the Sun family earlier, maybe you can buy more dowry for the third sister..."

Earlier, when Dalian and Erlian got married, Jia and his wife did not marry with more than a copper mirror, so they sent their daughter away with a piece of cloth, not even giving the copper plate at the bottom of the box. When Dalian and Erlian returned home, there was no shortage complained to my sisters in private,
"I don't have half a coin in my hand. It's always very difficult to rely on my husband's family..."

"My mother-in-law thinks that my dowry is low, so she talks about it when there is nothing to do..."

Originally, it is not good for a daughter-in-law to talk back to her mother-in-law, and she can only bear it when she is angry. If the mother's family does not handle things well and leaves something to others, it will be even more difficult for a daughter-in-law to live in her husband's house!

At that time, Si Lian had no money to earn, so she could only feel sad when she heard about it, worrying about her sisters, but there was nothing she could do about it. This time San Lian got married, and she had surplus food in her hands, so she always had to think about her sister. .

Not long after, Wu Lian and Liu Lian came back from lunch, Si Lian asked Xiang Shi,
"Mom, how are you doing now?"

Wulian made a face at her, and said with a grin,

"Still screaming in bed..."

Liulian answered,
"This time, Dad was cruel. I saw that Mother's face was swollen, and her body was also bruised and purple..."

Si Lian was silent when she heard this, leaning on Xiang Shi's body, facing the skinny Jia Jincheng, she really had to do her best, and she didn't know who would hit whom, but every time Jia Jincheng got angry and beat his wife, Xiang Shi just hugged her. Carrying her head hard, she didn't even dare to dodge, Jia Silian knew that Xiang Shi was afraid of being abandoned by Jia Jincheng, in order to honor the virtues of her family, if Xiang Shi was abandoned and returned to her natal family, she would have no other choice but to die up!

"Ugh!"

Jia Silian sighed secretly, hating Xiangshi in her heart, but feeling sorry for her,

"Fourth sister..."

Wulian tugged at her sleeve,
"I will guard here with Liulian, you go back!"

Silian nodded, told her two younger sisters a few words, and then returned home. She heard Xiangshi yelling in the back room when she entered the house. She applied cold compresses to the wound.

The inner room was dark, and the light coming in from the window only shone on the bedside. Xiangshi was leaning on the bedside, just for Si Lian to see. sewed,

"mother……"

Seeing that there was no way out of this situation, Si Lian whispered at the door,
"It's better to invite a doctor!"

As soon as Xiang Shi heard Si Lian's voice, he became very angry and roared,
"If it weren't for your talkative and cheap hoof, my old lady would have been beaten like this?"

After all, he forgot the pain in his body, sat up abruptly, bared his teeth and clawed at the door and said,
"Come in, little hoof, I can't beat you to death!"

How could Silian be willing to go in, she just stood in front of the door and answered,
"Mother, you can't blame me for this. You'd better save your energy and recuperate. The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days. The eldest uncle is here, but the second and third uncles haven't come yet!"

Hearing this, Xiang became even angrier.
"Bitch, how dare you laugh at me, come in... I will beat you to death!"

Silian shook her head,

"Mom, save your energy!"

After saying that, amidst Xiang Shi's roar, she turned around and went to the kitchen. After lunch, Si Lian went out to the noodle stall, but turned left and right to the street from the other side of the alley. She was cautious at first He poked his head out to look around, but he didn't see his younger brother who was wandering on the street, and then quickly slid into the cloth shop opposite.

The shopkeeper knew her, so he asked,
"It's Silian, what kind of fabric do you want to buy?"

Si Lian looked around, and saw that the cabinets were all made of coarse cloth, only a few kinds of satin materials of different colors were hung on the innermost part, she looked carefully, and pointed to one of the bright red satin, saying,

"Uncle Liu, this... maybe show me..."

Shopkeeper Liu saw her pointing at the piece of material and responded,
"Silian... This material of mine is very precious. I will not show it to customers who don't want to buy it. This material is so delicate..."

Silian bit her lip, took out the two ingots of broken silver from her bosom, and asked,

"Is this silver enough?"
