The woman who was leading the way was startled, and when she saw who it was, she immediately burst into laughter.

"Ouch! Where are you going, Brother Long? How come we, Wen Yuyuan, are here?"

But it was Mou Biao's personal servant Mou Long. Mou Long looked at Jia Silian and said to the old lady,

"I took this person away..."

The mother-in-law blocked the way,

"Brother Long, you can't help it. Outsiders are not allowed to wander around in this house. I can't afford to bump into any young master or lady!"

Mou Long responded with a straight face,

"Don't worry, I took him away, and I'll take care of anything..."

He warned her again,

"You are not allowed to tell anyone about this matter, not even the eldest lady. If the news leaks out, our eighth young master will not spare you!"

The old woman's face changed after hearing this, and she covered her mouth with a smile.

"Don't tell! Don't tell! I must keep my mouth shut!"

Mou Long nodded and led Jia Silian away. After turning the corner and seeing the woman no longer, he turned back and whispered to her,

"Miss Silian, why did you come out at this time of year?"

The eighth young master of their family was waiting for lunch in the yard. He became so hungry while waiting that he threw two teapots in anger. Mou Hu persuaded the young master to eat first without waiting, but the young master slapped him on the forehead.

"Master, I'm inviting someone to dinner. If the guests don't arrive, you should eat first. Have you given all the etiquette I taught you to feed the dog?"

Mou Biao sent the steady and reliable Mou Long to the eldest sister's yard to inquire about the news. Mou Long stayed outside for a long time, and then he saw Silian coming out, so he hurriedly took her to Mou Biao's yard ahead. He was very friendly along the way.

He thoughtfully pointed out various courtyards to Jia Silian.

"This is the backyard of our house, where all the ladies live. Our master is the commander of the Royal Guards. There are seven young masters and six young ladies in the family. The one you saw just now is the eldest lady... This place... is

The second young lady’s yard, she is the legitimate daughter..."

He led Jia Silian through a huge garden, stepped through a moon gate, and in front of them was a small lake. A small boat was tied to a willow tree by the lake. The two walked across a small nine-curved bridge, and then crossed a small lake guarded by servants.

After closing the moon door, we arrived at another garden...

Following Mou Long, Jia Silian gradually became less restrained, raised her head and looked around, Mou Long said,

"This is the courtyard where the young masters live..."

He pointed to a path next to him,

"Over there are Yinzhu, Changshu and Liuguangyuan, where the eldest, second and third young masters live..."

Pointed to another path,

"Over there are the fourth young master, the sixth young master and the seventh young master..."

After a pause he said,

"The fifth young master in our family died when he was young, otherwise there would be eight young masters in our family..."

"Then...which courtyard does Mr. Mou live in?"

Jia Silian asked curiously, Mou Long pointed to the path in front,

"Our Mr. Mou is the youngest in the family, ranked eighth, and lives in Xiulan Courtyard at the front..."

As he said that, he took Jia Silian all the way there. When they reached the end, they saw Mou Hu standing on tiptoes in front of the courtyard gate with the word "Xiu Lan" on it, stretching his neck to look around. He was overjoyed when he saw the two people coming over.

"It's finally here!"

Jia Silian rushed over and led Jia Silian in. Jia Silian knew that this was Mou Biao's yard, and opened up more and more. She walked slowly and looked around with her eyes. This yard was at least three times bigger than the eldest lady's, but

The courtyard is very simple. There is a large courtyard in the front, paved with blue bricks, with no plants. There are only weapon racks in the east corner with knives, guns and other items placed on them.

"Si Lian, come here..."

Mou Biao stood on the third step of the main room and waved to Jia Silian. Jia Silian hurriedly came over to salute.

"Son..."

Mou Biao waved his hand and said,

"Don't call me Young Master. I told you that we are friends. Just call me Xiaolin..."

After thinking about it, he felt that it was too elegant and formal, so he said again,

"...Or you can call me Laoba..."

Brothers Mou Long and Mou Hu looked at each other and thought to themselves,

"Lao Ba... this is what people in the family can call you!"

Isn't the young master too close to Jia Silian?

Mou Hu was so big-hearted that he didn't think much about it, but Mou Long secretly thought,

"Isn't it that the young master has taken a liking to Jia Silian?"

The young master is neither too old nor too young. He is also somewhat enlightened about men and women. Is he going to take Jia Silian as his concubine?

The two brothers Mou Long and Mou Hu grew up with Mou Biao. Mou Hu is two years older than Mou Biao, and Mou Long is three years older than Mou Biao. They are both half-grown boys, and Mou

Biao was very close to Ni Dongchu and Wen Zifeng. They both started eating meat early, so they encouraged Mou Biao to play in the flower house when they had nothing to do. Mou Long and Mou Hu naturally also saw a lot.

Thinking of this place, Mou Long looked up and down without leaving any trace. Jia Silian was thin and small, and her body was as shriveled as a yellowing leek leaf.

"Such a little girl, any sweeping girl in our house is better than her..."

The young master’s taste is too bad!

Mou Biao, however, had no intention of caring about how his servant despised him, so he waved for Jia Silian to come over.

"Why did you come here? I'm almost hungry!"'

After saying that, Jia Silian continued without waiting for a response,

"Did Mou Xiumei treat you to dinner?"

Jia Silian shook her head, nodded again, stretched out her hand to show him the copper plate in her palm,

"The eldest lady gave me a copper and asked me to eat a bowl of noodles outside..."

"laugh……"

Mou Biao was greatly disdainful upon hearing this.

"Mou Xiumei is so stingy. She just sends a beggar away with just a few copper coins!"

Jia Silian said nothing, but secretly said in her heart,

"Although your sister doesn't think I'm a beggar, she doesn't think much of me either..."

But this is not to be blamed on Mou Xiumei. There is a distinction between superior and inferior, and the superiors naturally look down on the poor!

Mou Biao lowered his head and saw the cloth bag in her hand again.

"What is this?"

After saying that, he didn't wait for her to say anything. He reached out and grabbed it and opened it. He couldn't help but sneered.

"I have the nerve to give out an old piece of clothing to others. Mou Xiumei is not stingy, she is stingy!"

As he spoke, he threw it to Mou Hu behind him in disgust, Jia Silian hurriedly stopped him,

"Don't throw away such good materials..."

Mou Biao responded,

"If you want to make clothes, I will give you the materials. You don't need this girl's old clothes!"

Jia Silian said,

"What happened to the old clothes? In our family, the younger sisters wear older sisters' clothes..."

Sometimes when the clothes are delivered to Liulian, they are no longer wearable!

Mou Biao thought for a while and frowned.

"You take this one back and give it to your sisters to wear. I'll give you the materials and you can make a new one..."

Jia Silian still wanted to shake her head, but she had been dealing with Mou Biao for more than two days. She knew that this rich man had a bad temper and had a strong temper. If you didn't want to, you would be slapped in the face, so she changed the subject and said,

"Isn't Mr. Mou hungry?"

When Mou Biao was reminded by her, he immediately remembered that his stomach was still growling, so he put aside the matter of clothes and went to the side hall first, not forgetting to correct him,

"Call me Xiaolin..."

There was a table in the side hall with several dishes, rice and a wine bottle. Mou Biao sat down and waved for Jia Silian to sit down. He reached for the wine bottle and poured it into the wine glass in front of Jia Silian. Jia Silian was frightened.

Busy covering it with hands,

"I...I don't know how to drink..."

Mou Biao smiled,
