The sunset is slanting in the west, dyeing a red glow in the sky, which looks very good, attracting many people to stop on the road and look up.

Inside a small shop on the side of the street, the door is hidden so that people can't see the situation inside. But just listening to the sound coming from the small shop can make passers-by guess that it must be lively now, after all, the feeling of being full of voices is not something that a few people can create.

There are indeed a lot of customers in the small shop, on the one hand, because the reputation of this small shop is good on weekdays, the food is delicious, the wine is also good, and the proprietress is a big beauty.

On the other hand, the hostess's words just now also made the guests very excited. Less than a cup of tea, the proprietress of the shop came down from the upper floor and announced to all the guests that the food and drinks would be charged half the price today.

"Wow, the proprietress is such a big deal." After Mu Yu turned around and went upstairs again, the guests couldn't help but discuss, "There are a lot of people in the store today, and they only charge half of the price, and the proprietress is afraid that she has added a lot of expenses to herself." ”

"yes, I don't know what makes the proprietress so happy. Oops, did you just see that? The proprietress was smiling happily just now, really, my soul was almost taken away by the proprietress . ”

"Hey, that's why you come to this Muxinfang every day?" The other person took a sip, "However, speaking of which, it seems that the grandfather and grandson of the storyteller haven't been here for a long time......"

That's right, the proprietress of this small shop called Mu Xinfang is naturally Mu Yu.

There are many things that can make Mu Yu happy, but there are not many things that can make Mu Yu so happy and directly avoid half of the cost of all the customers in the small shop.

Mu Xiaojiu's return can barely be counted as one.

After going downstairs to announce the matter, Mu Yu turned around and went back upstairs. But by the time she went up, the atmosphere in the room had changed again.

Mu Yu clearly remembered that before she left, the room was still a peaceful and warm scene; But when she came up again, how would it be upstairs...... Suddenly so depressed?

Is it because ......

Mu Yu gently pushed the door open and walked in, then glanced at everyone in the room. After looking at this, she suddenly showed a wry smile, and then she was about to explain, but was stopped by Mu Xiaojiu raising her hand.

"So...... That's why you sneaked out of the island? Mu Xiaojiu had a straight face, and his voice was very flat, but it could make people clearly hear a depression.

"I ......"

"How much kung fu have you practiced on the island?" Mu Xiaojiu continued: "Have you learned the Luoying Divine Sword? Have you learned the jade flute swordsmanship? Come, let me see. ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Xiaojiu's right hand suddenly flipped over, and a finger popped out, and the snap of his fingers suddenly shot out, straight towards the waist of the person in front of him.

The man didn't dare to say much, shook his hand and took the Dragon Sword handed by Mu Duan from the side, and with a casual pull, he directly shook out a sword flower, and took Mu Xiaojiu's invisible finger.

This scene also relieved Wuzhen, Hu Xiaoxian and Mu Duan next to him. If Mu Xiaojiu really wanted to make things difficult, how could he be so easy to pick up this finger? Obviously, Mu Xiaojiu was just going to test it slightly.

After taking this finger, the man was also relieved. However, at this time, Mu Xiaojiu's right index finger was a little, and another sword qi was already shooting towards that person.

"Childe's kung fu has finally been completed." Mu Xuan's eyes lit up.

Although the man had the same discovery as Mu Xuan, Mu Duan had the kung fu to speak, but he didn't. Facing Mu Xiaojiu's sword qi, he didn't dare to be careless at all, and was about to raise his sword to meet it, but he heard Mu Xiaojiu say quietly: "Jin Shengyu Zhen." ”

The man's heart moved, and he immediately understood what Mu Xiaojiu meant, and with a turn of the sword, Jin Shengyu Zhen used it in a decent way, but it just happened to eliminate Mu Xiaojiu's sword qi into invisibility.

"Good." Two words came out of Mu Xiaojiu's mouth, but Mu Xiaojiu's figure had disappeared from the seat. Wu Zhen only felt a gust of wind coming, and then the long sword at his waist was drawn.

"Wuzhen, borrow your long sword and use it."

"Ding!" With a soft sound, Mu Xiaojiu's figure reappeared, but he was already standing opposite the person, and the long sword in his hand was already attached to the You Long Sword.

"If you can break away, I won't pursue it." As he spoke, Mu Xiaojiu's wrist moved, and before the man could react, he felt a traction coming from the Dragon Sword, and he was actually taken away.

"Jade Xiao Sword Technique...... Mu Duan said softly on the side: "I heard Gongzi say that the Peach Blossom Island Jade Xiao Sword Technique is handsome and extraordinary, but it has its own wonderful use. If you infuse the sword with internal force, it will generate a force that sticks to the enemy's weapon. ”

As he was talking, the man had been pulled by Mu Xiaojiu with the sword in his hand, and he had turned around Mu Xiaojiu's side three times in a row. He tried to escape in various ways, but he couldn't.

However, at this moment, this person suddenly had an idea, his body did not retreat, but advanced, and the You Dragon Sword in his hand took the initiative to follow Mu Xiaojiu's sword.

Then, the chill appeared!

That person suddenly shook the dragon sword in his hand, the tip of the sword turned, and with the sword in Mu Xiaojiu's hand as the fulcrum, he directly swam up like a spirit snake, and then directly took Mu Xiaojiu's right hand vein.

The corners of Mu Xiaojiu's mouth suddenly had a smile, his arm shook, and an internal force suddenly swung away from the sword. Although this internal force is majestic, it is not without losing its softness. So the man was only a few steps back, but he wasn't hurt.

"Not bad, not bad." Mu Xiaojiu shook his hand, and the long sword slashed directly through the air, and returned to the scabbard on Wu Zhen's waist, "Folding Plum Falling Snow Sword, I didn't expect that in this short period of time, you have already mastered the Folding Plum Falling Snow Sword." ”

That person, that is, Li Xiaobai, smiled, respectfully returned the You Long Sword to Mu Duan, and then said with a little flattery: "Master, you don't have to punish me this time." Although my kung fu can't compare to you, it's barely enough to walk the rivers and lakes. ”

Mu Xiaojiu glanced at him, "If you really go to walk the rivers and lakes, I may not be able to catch you." Xiaobai, are you addicted to being a little second? When he left Peach Blossom Island, he went directly to Muyu's Muxin Workshop as a buddy. ”

Li Xiaobai's face turned red all of a sudden, "Uh, this...... I ......"

"Okay, Xiao Jiu, don't make it difficult for him." Fox Xiaoxian glanced at Mu Xiaojiu, and then pulled him to his side, "How is Xiaobai Ai, why do you care so much?" ”

Li Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you...... That lady spoke up. ”

Fox Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly, although these two people are players, they are also quite into the play. Why is this still called Master's Mother?

"Alright, alright." Mu Xiaojiu returned to his seat and sat down, "Xiaobai, why didn't you call your senior sister when you left the island?" ”

Li Xiaobai scratched his head, "I asked my senior sister if she wanted to come out with me, but my senior sister didn't agree, saying that her kung fu was not deep enough and she didn't want to come out and embarrass you." ”

Mu Xiaojiu frowned slightly, "Xiaoya's martial arts progress ......"

Li Xiaobai seemed to have heard something terrible, and his face was painful. I saw that he hurriedly waved his hand and said to Mu Xiaojiu: "Master, stop!" Senior sister's martial arts...... Hiss...... She should be able to hit two of me now. The last time I fought with my sister before I left the island, she only used seventeen moves to defeat me. ”

Mu Xiaojiu couldn't help but gasp, "It's unlikely." ”

Li Xiaobai shuddered, "Senior sister, she is more diligent in her practice than me, but she is not so diligent." I take six hours a day to practice martial arts, and she has half an hour of morning class. But senior sister, she ...... It's just that they're so much better than me, I don't even know why. ”

"Okay." Mu Xiaojiu nodded: "It's a good thing that you practice martial arts quickly." ”

"Childe." Mu Yu suddenly walked over, "The meal is ready, and then, my mother found out that you were coming, and said that she wanted to meet you......" When he said the back, Mu Yu began to feel a little embarrassed.

"Huh? Let's eat together. Mu Xiaojiu replied casually.

"Thank you, Childe." Mu Yu was suddenly overjoyed, "Then let's go, I instructed the people below to get the wine and food to a compartment on the second floor." ”

Everyone got up, and Mu Xiaojiu suddenly said, "Speaking of which, although the store is not big, Mu Yu, you have made it quite elegant, and you have made three floors." Are you interested in expanding a little more? ”

Mu Yu on the side nodded first, and then said with a wry smile: "I want to expand it, but if the shops on both sides are to be taken down, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money." The money in the store also costs a lot on weekdays, and I can't take out so much for a while. So I wanted to save up for a while and then expand when I had enough money. ”

Mu Xiaojiu thought for a while, and then said, "Forget it, don't be so troublesome, I see that your store is also quite popular." It's not as good as this, my monthly salary and His Majesty's reward money haven't been used much, I'll go back to the money bank to check and see how much. If it's not enough, I'll find a way to support a little. Jiangnan Hua family, there should be no problem on His Majesty's side. ”

"Uh......" Mu Yu and Mu Duan glanced at each other, and then Qi Qi smiled bitterly, "No need, Childe, if you want to take out your own money, it should be enough." ”

"Huh?" Mu Xiaojiu was a little confused.

Mu Duan said with a lot of amusement: "Childe, you really never go to the money bank to see how much money you have, do you?" In fact, both here and on the wooden money side, they will put money into the money bank for you on a daily basis. Your envoy's waist card and your name are all famous in the imperial court's bank, and we will put a copy in it every time we count the money. ”

Mu Xiaojiu turned his head and looked at Mu Duan and Mu Yu in a daze, "Hey, you guys will pay me dividends every month." ”

Mu Duan and Mu Yu were stunned for a moment, "Childe, what did you say?" ”

Mu Xiaojiu shook his head a little absurdly, "So, I remember that the old emperor once told me that he would give me the monthly salary of the gang elder every month, but he never gave it to me, didn't he also stuff it into the money bank?" And when I used to live idlely......"

Li Xiaobai couldn't help but spit out a groan in the back, "Master, you really don't know how much money you have, do you?" I'm telling you, you're showing off your wealth. ”

Mu Xiaojiu frowned, "How much money do you have?" I don't know. I always thought that I only had the monthly salary of the imperial envoy every month, and then there was the reward given to me by the little emperor when he had nothing to do. The rest ...... I really don't know. ”

"Fox girl, I think you will take care of the money in the future." Liu Xiqing chuckled and said, "If you let Mu Gongzi take care of the money, I'm afraid you don't even know how much money you have." ”

Hu Xiaoxian also glanced at Mu Xiaojiu angrily and funny, "I knew he was sloppy, but I really didn't expect him to be so sloppy, I don't even know how much financial resources he has." ”

Mu Xiaojiu laughed twice, "No way, just have enough money to spend, remember what to do so clearly." Eh, by the way, Mu Yu, why are there no guests on the second floor? ”

Mu Yu explained: "Because you came back today, I didn't open the second floor to the public, and all the guests who came today were dining on the first floor." ”

Mu Duan added in a timely manner, "After all, Gongzi, you have a lot of enemies, if you let those people know that you are the boss behind the scenes here, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to Mu Yu." So this morning I talked to her about not opening the second floor. ”

"Well, yes, that's the right thing to do." Mu Xiaojiu bowed slightly. Mu Duan is right, if his enemies know that this is his property, I am afraid that it will not be long before Mu Xinfang ceases to exist.

"Eun Gong, you're here." Walking and chatting along the way, everyone slowly arrived at the cubicle. As soon as she entered, a beautiful woman directly gave Mu Xiaojiu a blessing, and at the same time said in fluent Central Plains dialect.

Mu Xiaojiu hurriedly went up and helped the beautiful woman up. This beautiful woman was none other than Mu Yu's mother. In fact, you don't need to look carefully, as long as you glance at it, you can find that this beautiful woman and Mu Yu are carved out of the same mold, and the facial features and face shape are exactly the same, but the woman's face has a little more wrinkles, and her temperament is also dignified and virtuous.

Seriously, Muyu's mother can be said to be full of the temperament of Fusang Yamato Nadeshiko. In other words, she is the standard "Yamato Nadeshiko".

"Childe, after my mother came with me, she also gave herself a Central Plains name, called Liu Qing." Mu Yu said softly from the side.

Mu Xiaojiu nodded lightly, and then said, "Aunt Liu, you are too polite, but speaking of which, Aunt Liu's original words are really fluent." ”

Liu Qing covered her mouth and smiled, and responded very gently: "I used to learn Central Plains dialect and Chinese characters from Yuzi's father before, including some Central Plains etiquette I also learned at that time. Fortunately, after all these years, I haven't forgotten it. ”
