Mu Xiaojiu looked at Xiaoya and Mu Nianci in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.

"Sister Nianci, have you really decided?"

Mu Nianci looked at Mu Xiaojiu and nodded lightly, "Well, Brother Mu, you don't have to worry about me, I have already decided to join the army." Now that my stepfather has passed away, I am left alone, no matter what I do, it will be the same. In this case, it is better to join the army, serve the country, and by the way, fulfill the will of your father-in-law. ”

Mu Xiaojiu was silent for a while, and then didn't say anything more. Mu Nianci's heart to join the army is already very firm, and it is estimated that no matter how he persuades, Mu Nianci will not go to his heart. In this case, it is better to obey her wishes.

"Xiaoya, you have to listen to your eldest brother Di along the way, I will go to the capital to pick you up after I deal with some things, and by the way, I will ask your parents for my opinion on accepting you as an apprentice." As he spoke, Mu Xiaojiu rubbed Sun Xiaoya's hair.

That's right, Xiaoya's so-called finding Mu Xiaojiu for something is actually wanting to worship Mu Xiaojiu as a teacher.

Last night, Xiaoya told Mu Xiaojiu that she really wanted to learn martial arts, and if she had martial arts like Mu Xiaojiu that day, her grandfather would not have been killed.

Mu Xiaojiu didn't think much about it, so he agreed to Xiaoya's request. In fact, in his heart, Xiaoya, who had long learned Ling Bo Weibu with him, was half a sister and half an apprentice, which he had said as early as the banquet held by Cai Jing in the capital.

Xiaoya looked at Mu Xiaojiu, and suddenly hugged Mu Xiaojiu again at this parting moment.

"Brother Mu, don't worry, I will listen to Brother Di, you must come to pick me up early."

Mu Xiaojiu, who was hugged by Xiao Ya, raised his hand and gently put it on Xiao Ya's little head, and then looked at Di Fei in surprise, "This time, I'm going to trouble you again." ”

Di Fei smiled softly, "What's not troublesome, Xiaoya, I like this kid too, don't worry, I will send them to the capital safely." As for Miss Mu's military service, it's also on me. Hurry up and finish the matter, and I'll invite you to drink when you get back to the capital. ”

Mu Xiaojiu gently patted Xiao Ya's back, and then watched Di Feijing and Nie Feng leave with Xiao Ya and Mu Nianci with the team. It wasn't until the team slowly disappeared from sight that Mu Xiaojiufang turned around.

Hua Manlou and the people of the Murong family are gone, after all, they came to Guiyunzhuang this time to discuss business, and now that the business is over, they naturally want to leave.

Of course, before leaving, Hua Manlou and Murong Fu both invited Mu Xiaojiu to have time to sit down, so that they could have the opportunity to do their best as landlords. Mu Xiaojiu agreed, but in his heart, Mu Xiaojiu understood very well that everything came one after another, and he really didn't necessarily have time to be free.

Along the path all the way back to the pier, he got on the boat back to Yunzhuang, and looked at the scenery on both sides of the way, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly pulled up the sleeves of Da Yu and put his hand into the water.

Feeling the water that still had a slight chill, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly sighed.

……

Back at Guiyunzhuang, before Mu Xiaojiu could get off the boat, he saw Huang Yaoshi and Huang Rong standing at the dock with their bags on their backs.

"Master, senior sister, ...... you are" Mu Xiaojiu asked with some confusion.

Huang Rong said a little dejectedly: "Daddy wants to take me back to Peach Blossom Island, junior brother, please help me plead with my master...... I really don't want to go back......"

Mu Xiaojiu was silent, and then suddenly shook his head, "Senior sister, you go back with the master." ”

Huang Rong looked up at Mu Xiaojiu, her face was full of disbelief, "Little junior brother, what did you say?" Don't you even want to play with your sister? ”

"It's been too unpeaceful on the rivers and lakes lately, I ...... It's still safer on Peach Blossom Island. Mu Xiaojiu originally wanted to say something, but in the end, he still held back.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Huang Rong's eyes, but soon, it turned into relief again, "Okay, I understand, Xiao Jiu, you also have your own things to do." Don't worry, this time I will go back to Peach Blossom Island with my father, and I will practice martial arts well. Next time, I will definitely walk out of Peach Blossom Island openly. ”

Huang Yaoshi looked at Huang Rong, who suddenly became very gentle, and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Okay Rong'er, let's go." Huang Yaoshi stepped forward, "Xiao Jiu, you ...... You walk the rivers and lakes by yourself, and be careful in everything. Although your martial arts are not weak now, but above the rivers and lakes, there are many capable people, not to mention that you have a lot of enemies, so it is better to be careful in everything. ”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, and gave a disciple salute to Huang Yaoshi, "Thank you, master." ”

After sending Huang Yaoshi and Huang Rong away, Mu Xiaojiu returned to Guiyunzhuang and found that even the proprietress Jin Zhuyu had left. This situation couldn't help but make Mu Xiaojiu a little disappointed.

He found that he never seemed to be able to leave too many people around him, and every time people came and went, but never even one person would always follow him.

"Forget it, this is a few days in Yunzhuang, it's not interesting, let's go to Wuxi, go and see the pine crane tower, by the way, you can also wait there for a while." After muttering to himself, Mu Xiaojiu didn't grind, and went directly to Lu Chengfeng and said goodbye to Lu Chengfeng.

Although Lu Chengfeng was a little reluctant, he didn't do much to keep it, and even after hearing that Mu Xiaojiu was going to Wuxi, he sent someone to send Mu Xiaojiu to Wuxi.

"Mu Gongzi, this is the first time you have come to our Taihu Lake, do you need a villain to introduce you to this Wuxi? It also saves you from having nowhere to play after you go. ”

The person sent by Lu Chengfeng to row Mu Xiaojiu was a middle-aged man in his thirties. Now seeing that there is another tea trip to Wuxi, this middle-aged man who has not spoken along the way suddenly asked.

Mu Xiaojiu was originally sitting there drinking warm wine by himself, and he didn't have much to do. At this time, when he heard the boatman's question, he thought that he had nothing to do, so he said directly: "Oh? I'd like to ask you to come and hear it. ”

The boatman smiled, "Speaking of which, this Wuxi is a treasure land, and the word "land of fish and rice" is used to describe Wuxi, which is not false at all." Just another name, there are six or seven in Wuxi, what cloth wharf, kiln wharf, money wharf, silk city, rice market and the like, are the name of Wuxi by those who go to business. You know the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, speaking of which, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal also passed through Wuxi. ”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, he knew some about these things, but there was no need to interrupt the boatman's words. And looking at the boatman like that, it is evident that he will soon be interested in something.

"If you want to say that after going to Wuxi, it will definitely be inevitable to eat, drink and have fun. Speaking of eating and drinking, the villain recommends two places to go. To eat, you go to Songhe Tower, the dishes in Songhe Tower are also delicious, and they are very characteristic of our Taihu Lake. Speaking of which, the Taihu Lake Sanbai and Taihu Lake crabs made by the Songhe Tower are no worse than the Taihu Lake drunk that the young owner took you to that day. ”

"Drink, you go to the immortal drunk on the edge of Donglin Academy, they don't have any other wine, only Huadiao, that is, daughter red, champion red, that wine is beautiful, no Huadiao in Wuxi can catch up."

"In addition, speaking of this Donglin Academy, that's the place where the villain wants to tell you to play."

"There are four places in Wuxi that you can go to, one is this Donglin Academy, and the other two are Chong'an Temple and Nanchan Temple. I heard that the incense in Chong'an Temple is very spiritual, if you go, you can pay a respect, maybe you can ask for good luck. ”

"As for the rest of the place, it's the night market in Wuxi. It's called a lively, at night, it's full of people, as for the location of the night market, I can't tell you either, when the time comes, you can just find a local and ask. ”

Amid the chatter of the boatman, the boat slowly approached the shore.

Mu Xiaojiu stood up from the boat, took out a piece of loose silver from the money bag on his waist, and threw it to the boatman. The boatman took a look and immediately smiled, but soon handed the silver back to Mu Xiaojiu, "Mu Gongzi, this money villain can't ask for it, it was arranged by the owner to send you over, and it can be regarded as the villain's own employee——"

"If you give it to you, you'll take it." With that, Mu Xiaojiu stepped off the boat and stepped on the ground, "This money should be regarded as the reward for you to introduce me to Wuxi." If you go back and ask the senior brother, you can say that I forced you to accept it. ”

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, the boatman simply accepted the silver, and then watched Mu Xiaojiu's back slowly walk into the flow of people and disappear from his sight.

"This Mu Gongzi is really a good person, not at all different from those people in the past." The boatman muttered, then put the silver in his mouth and bit it twice, looked at the tooth marks on it, and laughed contentedly.

At this time, it was still early, and it was not yet time for lunch, so Mu Xiaojiu inquired all the way to Songhe Tower, opened a room for himself, and then wrote a flying pigeon biography to Mu Duan.

"Little second brother, you guys, when will Bai Xiaosheng come?" went down to the first floor of Songhe Tower, and Mu Xiaojiu asked Xiao Er.

"This guest officer, Bai Xiaosheng from our Songhe Tower will not come over until about lunchtime, and he will not leave until the evening. If you want to listen to a lecture or ask Bai Xiaosheng about something, you can go out for a walk first and come back later. The little second brother said very respectfully.

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, and made up his mind in his heart. Since Bai Xiaosheng won't arrive so late, let's go for a stroll first, and wait until lunch time to come back.

"Then little second brother, I want to ask, which of these Chong'an Temple, Nanchan Temple and Donglin Academy is closer to our Songhe Tower?"

As soon as Xiao Er heard this question, it was immediately clear that Mu Xiaojiu was a foreigner. But he didn't dare to say that he was going to kill customers or anything, after all, the master in front of him looked like a martial arts person, he was just a restaurant junior, how could he dare to provoke easily?
