025: Sister, the pendulum
said this, and Mu Hongyan's face became a little stiff and a little embarrassed.
She didn't expect that a little village girl would know "Instructions for Women" and "Book of Rites·Mourning Clothes·Biography of Zixia"... and she knew it in such detail.
She wanted to take this opportunity to establish the image of a majestic elder sister in front of Mu Qingli, but she didn't expect that she would lose face in front of a little village girl!
For a moment, Mu Hongyan's face became like a color palette, colorful and wonderful.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Mu Qingli raised a pair of delicate but innocent eyes, "Am I wrong?"
Mu Hongyan is Mu Hongyan after all. She reacted quickly, with a cold look on her face, and she justified herself.
"Since you know the difference between "Instructions for Women" and "Book of Rites: Mourning Clothes: Biography of Zixia", it means you still have some brains and are not hopeless. You must always keep in mind what I said just now! As a member of the Mu family, you must know what to do and say! If you embarrass the Mu family outside, I will tell you to go back to where you came from!"
Mu Qingli nodded obediently, "Don't worry, big sister, I will never embarrass the Mu family."
Because I will send your Mu family to hell with my own hands...
Mu Qingli blinked slightly, her long eyelashes cast a thick shadow on her face, her eyes emitting bright starlight, innocent, harmless, but deep inside her eyes was an unfathomable darkness.
In the Pearl House, Xiao Baba suddenly shrank his neck, and a chill ran through his body. Isn't such a host really terrible?
Silently sympathize with the Mu family for a second!
Mu Hongyan looked at the well-behaved and sensible fifth sister in front of her with satisfaction, and looked at the watch on her hand, "Let's go, follow me down."
"Okay." Mu Qingli turned around and followed Mu Hongyan, and the two went downstairs together.
In the restaurant, almost all the people of the Mu family were present.
After Mu Hongyan's introduction, Mu Qingli greeted everyone politely.
Innocent and harmless.
This is almost everyone's first impression of her.
A little girl who just came from the countryside, except for disdain, no one would be on guard against her.
Mu Lan Ke looked at Mu Qingli, who was like a little white rabbit, and hated her teeth.
Everyone was deceived by this little bitch Mu Qingli!
Mu Lan Ke wanted to stand up several times to trip Mu Qingli, but was held down by Li Qingxiang.
Looking at her mother's profile, Mu Lan Ke gradually calmed down.
Now is indeed not the time to be anxious.
After dinner, Mu Junliang asked the sisters to sit together to connect with each other.
So.
Second sister Mu Chengyao said to her: "Since you are back, you should act like the fifth lady of the Mu family. If you are dressed so poorly, if outsiders see you, they will think that we, the Mu family, are short of food and clothing!"
Third sister Mu Huangqiong said to her: "Fifth sister, don't feel inferior just because you are from the countryside. As long as you are willing to be obedient, we sisters will definitely find you a husband with a good family background in the future..." Seventh
sister Mu Ziyu said to her: "In the future, you are not allowed to tell others that you are the fifth lady of the Mu family! You are not allowed to call me the seventh sister!"
Who wants to be the sister of a country bumpkin?
It would be embarrassing to say it out!
Mu Qingli sat there very obediently, smiling and nodding in the face of everyone's exhortations and warnings, "Don't worry, sisters and seventh sister, I will definitely remember your words..."
So, in the eyes of everyone, she had another label.
A spineless person who can't make it!
Only the fourth sister Mu Luzhu said nothing. She sat there quietly, lowering her eyes to flip through the book in her hand, looking like she was not competing with the world.
Mu Luzhu can be said to be the most special person in the Mu family. She became a talent at a young age. Now, at the age of 19, she is already a famous Chinese painting artist in China.
How many people spend a fortune just to get one of her authentic works.
Unfortunately, Mu Luzhu is a painter with great character. She regards money as dirt. She never picks up a pen easily. Even if she picks up a pen to paint, she only sells it to people who understand her.
Therefore, it has caused the current situation where it is difficult to find a painting.
Usually, Mu Luzhu does not live in the Mu family, but lives in her own villa. She is a very independent woman with her own opinions and ideas.
Today, she came back because there is a younger sister in the family. However, she did not show much enthusiasm to this younger sister who she met for the first time. She didn't even look up at Mu Qingli.
Artists must always have their own characteristics.
In a blink of an eye, it was night.
Mu Qingli came out of the bathroom after taking a bath and began to organize the gifts she brought from Huashan.
She didn't bring much things.
A few sets of clothes, a few ancient books, and the relics left to her by her grandmother.
A purple crystal necklace.
The crystal necklace looks very old and exudes a mysterious atmosphere.
It shines brightly under the light.
In fact, this is not an ordinary necklace, but a pendulum.
Pendulum.
A kind of divination, originated from the ancient West.
Grandma was a master of pendulum when she was alive. Because the Su family had no talent, she taught Mu Qingli everything she had learned in her life in her last days.
At that time, she didn't know that the Su family would have the idea of "selling their daughter".
Looking at this pendulum, Mu Qingli's eyes gradually moistened. After living a new life, she realized the preciousness of life.
Grandma, I will not let you down in this life.
That night, Mu Qingli didn't fall asleep until a long time later, but when she got up the next morning, she was still energetic, and there was no trace of fatigue between her eyebrows.
She stood in front of the mirror and tied all her black hair behind her head, revealing a long, white swan neck and a delicate and full forehead.
With a face like a lotus and a waist like a willow, nothing can compare to her enchantment.
She smiled, and the person in the mirror also smiled, a little evil and a little cold.
But in the blink of an eye, when she raised her eyes again, the evil and coldness in her eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by an innocent look.
Mu Qingli just walked out of the door, and Mu Lan Ke came towards her.
"Stop!"
Mu Qingli raised her eyes gently, and her tone was gentle, "Sixth sister, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Mu Lan Ke looked at her coldly, "Don't pretend, there is no third person here to watch your acting!"
Mu Qingli frowned slightly, with doubts flashing in her eyes, "Sixth sister, what's wrong with you? Weren't you fine yesterday? Did I make you unhappy in some way?"
Mu Lan Ke grabbed Mu Qingli's hand, "Mu Qingli! I really treat you as a sister, but I didn't expect you to betray me in front of my eldest sister! Wait, one day I will tear off the human skin mask on your face with my own hands!"
Mu Qingli's eyes were hot, and crystal-like tears hung on her eyelashes, shaky, looking very pitiful.
"Sixth sister, I'm sorry. I was too blunt yesterday. I didn't know that you and big sister didn't like to hear those words. I really didn't mean it... If I really did mean it, would I have said it in front of you?"
Mu Lan Ke squeezed Mu Qingli's hand tightly, with doubt in her eyes. Mu Qingli didn't look like she was lying. Could it be that she really didn't mean it?
"Sixth sister, it hurts, please let me go first..." Mu Qingli raised her sparkling eyes, and the tear on her eyelashes fell.
At the same time, the sisters' vision darkened, and a figure blocked the sunlight coming from the corridor.
He walked slowly.
"Thump, thump."
The sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground rang in the air.
Mu Lan Ke was slightly stunned, and raised her eyelids slightly, and saw a straight figure standing in front of her...
