In the winter of the fourteenth year of Zhaoming, the wind was cold and everything was bleak. The northern geese flew south, but there was a little green donkey carrying a simple carriage, going against the direction of the wild geese, trotting all the way from Jiangnan to Dingjing at a leisurely pace.
On the donkey cart, Mu Zhuohua waved the whip to drive the carriage, and slowly imparted life experience to her little maid.
"If a woman doesn't study hard, she will get married." Miss Mu Qi, who was wearing a scholar's hair crown, rubbed her face that was red from the cold wind, and said seriously, "If a woman gets married, her life will be over. Juli, you must remember this sentence." The
little maid sitting next to her was named Guo Juli, who was two years younger than her, nearly sixteen years old, thin and small, but had a name with a strong back and strong waist. She didn't have a name, and was called a maid for many years. Just because she was born with supernatural power, she had a nickname of Juli, and the nickname became a name after being called so many times.
Guo Juli nodded obediently, in her opinion, the young lady was the most knowledgeable and kind person in the world, and what she said was naturally right, and he just had to follow the young lady's pace. Therefore, when Mu Xiaoqi told Guo Juli that she planned to escape from the Mu family, Guo Juli packed his luggage without hesitation.
The two chose a lively day to secretly escape from the Mu family, the richest man in Jiangnan. That day, the gongs and drums of the Mu family were loud. It was a good day for the master of the Mu family, Mu Rong, to carry the eighteenth concubine. It was as lively as the first marriage.
Mu Zhuohua had a famous romantic father. The Mu family had been the richest in Jiangnan since Mu Rong's great grandfather. As the only son of the Mu family, Mu Rong was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and had wealth that could not be squandered in eighteen lifetimes. Such a rich background, coupled with his naturally romantic and handsome appearance, made his life full of peach blossoms, and his greatest pleasure was to go to that romantic formation. If he likes someone, he would throw mountains of gold and silver into the sea to make her smile. Which woman can resist the pursuit of a romantic young man?
Mu Zhuohua's mother is also a famous singer in Jiangnan, Gu Yixiao. She is both talented and beautiful. It is said that she was the daughter of a criminal. When she was young, she suffered from the disaster of breaking up her family and fell into the dust. Compared with other singers, she naturally has a unique dignity and melancholy, which deeply attracted Mu Rong. When they were in love, he spent a lot of money to set off fireworks for her, beat up powerful young men for her, went to jail for her and tortured her, and stood in the cold dew for her. Her cold heart finally felt the hot temperature again. She thought she had met the love of her life. Despite the dissuasion of others, she insisted on marrying into the Mu family and became Mu Rong's third concubine, adding fragrance to his sleeves and giving birth to children for him.
But before the fetus in her belly was born, Mu Rong had already brought in two more concubines. That day, the gongs and drums were blaring. She leaned against the door and watched quietly. The fireworks in the sky suddenly disappeared and turned into ashes in her eyes. She just watched him give the passion he once had for her to other women without reservation - one after another.
"The infatuation of a man can still be explained. The infatuation of a woman cannot be explained." Mu Zhuohua shook his head, "You must not become a person like my mother."
Guo Juli thought of the beauty like the fourth aunt who died at a young age, and nodded in agreement, but he had a little doubt: "Like the eldest lady, okay?"
The eldest lady of the Mu family, Mu Rong's original wife, was a very powerful figure. Although Mu Rong brought concubines home one by one and gave birth to illegitimate sons and daughters one by one, the Mu family was safe and stable in the backyard under the management of the eldest lady. Everything was under her control, as if she was the master of the Mu family.
Mu Zhuohua also shook her head: "That's fine, the eldest lady has such scheming and means, but she has been around a man all her life, doing evil to women and children, what's the point?"
The eldest lady is narrow-minded and can't tolerate others, but she has ways to deal with those who don't obey her. She knows that Mu Rong doesn't care about illegitimate sons and daughters, so she casually arranges the marriages of the illegitimate daughters. She originally planned to betroth Mu Zhuohua to a county magistrate over 40 as a concubine, just to win over the county magistrate to make profits together. What she never expected was that the most obedient and well-behaved Xiaoqi among the illegitimate daughters actually ran away from marriage quietly.
Guo Juli said worriedly: "The eldest lady's means are very powerful. Miss, we are not walking fast. What if we are caught up? Miss Eight lives in the same room with you, and she must have found out that we are missing early."
Mu Zhuohua was not in a hurry, and smiled confidently: "I can't catch up."
In this Mu family, some people ignore her, some bully her, some use her, but there are also people who wish she would disappear.
What may be poison to one may be honey to another. She and Xiao Ba each got what they wanted.
Just as Mu Zhuohua expected, when the Mu family found out about this, it was already the third day since they escaped.
The eldest lady was so angry that she tore up her handkerchief and hurried to Biluoju to complain. Mu Rong was flirting with his new concubine. He listened to what she said in a daze and asked after a while, "Xiao Qi, which one is it?"
The eldest lady took a deep breath and said, "Gu Yixiao's daughter, Zhuohua."
Who is Gu Yixiao?
A beautiful face flashed vaguely in Mu Rong's mind. After all, she had been dead for many years and had many new loves. How could he remember the appearance and name of the old person? As for this daughter named Zhuohua... I vaguely remember that she was a well-behaved girl with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes submissive, but as for what she looked like, he couldn't remember. He had too many children.
"It's her..." He pretended to be enlightened.

The lady said angrily: "I have promised Magistrate Zhuang that I will give Xiaoqi to him as a concubine. Now Xiaoqi has escaped to who knows where. How can I explain it to him!"
Mu Rong waved his hand indifferently: "Since Xiaoqi is gone, let Xiaoba take over."
The lady frowned and thought. Xiaoqi and Xiaoba were only a few months apart, but their looks were much different. Originally, this marriage was requested by Xiaoba's mother and daughter, but Magistrate Zhuang fell in love with Xiaoqi's beauty at first sight. Now that Xiaoba is allowed to marry in place of her, the mother and daughter are happy, but the county magistrate...
Mu Rong is already impatient.
"Let Xiaoqi run away. She is not young anymore and can take care of herself. Just handle such a small matter and don't bother me anymore."
"But Magistrate Zhuang..." The lady stood up.
"He's just a county magistrate." Qi Rong waved his hand carelessly, took the arm of his eighteenth concubine and went out. He promised to accompany her to cruise the lake today, and specially built a lotus pleasure boat, just because there was a word "lotus" in her name.
The eldest lady glanced coldly at the backs of the adulterers, and unexpectedly thought of Gu Yixiao's appearance. When she saw Gu Yixiao's face that year, she truly felt what it meant to be able to conquer a country with a smile. She thought this woman would be her biggest enemy, but it turned out that she was wrong. Less than half a year after Gu Yixiao entered the house, Mu Rong had a new love. The eldest lady finally realized that Mu Rong didn't love flowers, he just loved to pick flowers.
Picked flowers will naturally die.
The maid asked her, "Madam, are you going to send someone to chase Miss Seven?"
How could she be caught after such a long time? How many days could a weak girl with such a good appearance live alone outside?
The lady waved her hand and said calmly, "Just tell the public that Miss Seven suddenly fell ill and was sent back to the countryside to recover."
