Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment. Although he was puzzled, he immediately replied: "Xiao Mu, my name is Xiao Mu."
Xiao Mu, little wood!
In the original novel, Xiao Mu is the secret guard beside the heroine a few years later. He is a young secret guard with superb martial arts skills. The heroine of the original novel used to call him Xiao Mu.
The difference is that Xiao Mu in the original novel has no relatives, and his mother and sister have already died.
Now, without asking, Su Li also knew that he was a martial arts expert. Now that she had met this man, of course she wanted him too.
"Xiao Mu, I can buy you, and I can also hire a doctor to treat your mother and sister until they recover, but I have one condition."
"What conditions?" Xiao Mu asked hurriedly.
As long as my mother and sister can be cured, what does one condition matter?
"I'm going to buy your mother and sister as well."
Most of the slaves in aristocratic families would stay together as a family. Only in this way could their loyalty to the master be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
"I promise."
Su Li didn't expect him to answer so decisively: "You agreed, do your mother and sister agree?"
Xiao Mu nodded immediately: "We were planning to sell ourselves as slaves, but mother and sister are seriously ill..." Who would buy a seriously ill person to be a domestic slave?
Su Li understood and nodded, "Since they are willing, that's fine. Let's do this. There is a clinic up ahead. Let's take your mother and sister there for treatment..."
The people around were surprised when they heard this and started talking in a low voice in front of Su Li.
"You're buying it now?"
"And buy those two..." The sickly man didn't say it out loud, but everyone around him knew what he meant.
"Tsk tsk! What a rich and good guy..." someone said sarcastically.
“Bang!”
"Why did you hit me?"
The sarcastic man was hit hard on the back.
"You're so talkative!"
The people around him echoed: "That's right, at least he saved two lives..."
“That’s right…”
Su Li pretended not to hear.
Xiao Mu was pleasantly surprised: "Xiao Mu thanks Madam for your kindness!"
Great, mom and sister are saved!
As he spoke, he called out to his mother and sister who were lying on the ground: "Mom, mom, wake up, we are going to the clinic to get treatment, mom..."
"Xiaoye, Xiaoye, wake up, get up..."
After a while, the two people on the ground woke up, and a woman's hoarse and vague voice was heard.
"Xiao Mu, what did you say?"
"Mother, a lady has bought us. She is taking you and your sister to the clinic to get your illness healed..."
"Really? Xiaoye is saved? My daughter is saved..." The woman struggled to get up. Perhaps she was too weak, and it took her a while before she stood up with the support of Xiao Mu.
Seeing that she couldn't even stand steadily, Su Li simply asked Xiao Mu to carry her to the clinic.
She helped Xiao Mu's sister Xiao Ye to follow behind.
Seeing this, the people around him helped to support Xiao Mu to go to the clinic.
After diagnosis and treatment, it turned out that the mother and daughter could indeed be cured as Xiao Musuo said, but it would require high medical expenses.
Su Li paid the money directly and explained that as long as the patient was cured, the clinic would use whatever medicine it needed.
The mother and daughter were too ill and needed to stay in the clinic for a few days, so Xiao Mu naturally had to stay here to take care of them.
Su Li told Xiao Mu the address of the rented house where Xiao Sanzi lived: "After your mother and sister get better, you can go and live there first."
Xiao Mu said that they were kicked out by their employer today because they had no money to pay the rent.
There are five or six rooms for rent, and Xiao Sanzi and his friends can just vacate two of them.
"Yes, ma'am!"
He gave him some silver for food and then went back.
Xiao Mu watched Su Li leave, feeling incredibly grateful. The doctor had said that if he had come a little later, his mother and sister wouldn't have been saved. It was Madam who saved them. He, Xiao Mu, would go through fire and water for Madam in the future...
After being busy for half a day, it was already past noon and Su Li was hungry. He crossed the alley and went directly to Mingyue Restaurant, ordered a table of delicious dishes, and started eating with relish.
After dinner, she hired a carriage and went directly to Jinxiu Street.
This morning, someone from the workshop came to inform her that her shops had been repaired and asked her to go and check them out when she had time.
So she spent the whole afternoon inspecting the shop.
It was not until the evening that she finished inspecting all the renovated shops. While it was still early, she went to the workshop to settle the renovation fees.
The next morning, Su Li practiced sleeve arrows in the small courtyard of the guest house again.
After practicing for several days, she has become very proficient in sleeve arrows and her shooting has become much more accurate. Of course, if she wants to be like Pei Ji and be able to break the arrow string even when it falls on the ground, it will definitely require more practice or talent. She does not have high expectations for herself and is happy to be able to hit people.
Seeing that it was getting late, I went into the house and looked at the hourglass. It was eleven o'clock.
Taking off the sleeve arrow from her forearm, she slowly rubbed her sore arm, thinking about not practicing archery in the afternoon.
Today was the day when the examination results would be announced. Pei Ji was probably still busy in the Dali Temple, so she had to go to the Imperial Examination Hall for him in the afternoon to see his results.
“Knock knock knock!”
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.
"Ali, are you there?"
Su Li put the sleeve arrow back on his hand before leaving the house and opening the door.
"Ayue? Why are you here?"
"I came to see you!" Pei Mingyue said with a smile, "If my mother hadn't kept me at home learning needlework these days, I would have come to see you a long time ago."
Then he asked, "Today is the day when the exam results will be announced. Are you going to the Imperial Examination Hall?"
"Go ahead."
"Are you going with your husband?"
