Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 158 Treasure Pavilion (1)

Mu Tangxi took Gu Shiyin downstairs to the Treasure House across the street.

"Speaking of which, this Treasure Pavilion was only opened in recent years, but I didn't expect that it has already surpassed the Fragrant House that has been open for more than ten years."

Gu Shiyin couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the busy shop.

Mu Tangxi smiled and urged, "Go and have a look quickly. I heard that the new hairpins are limited edition. If you go too late, you won't be able to buy them."

Gu Shiyin's eyes instantly became determined. Sister Tangxi, don't worry, she will definitely buy a hairpin for Sister Tangxi!

Mu Tangxi was a little shocked when she saw Gu Shiyin moving flexibly through the gaps in the crowd.

To be honest, Mu Tangxi's impression of Gu Shiyin still seems to be that he was weak and lying on the bed, dying.

Only now did I suddenly realize that Gu Shiyin is no longer the little girl she was back then. She is now full of vitality and completely different from before.

After Mu Tangxi waited in the Treasure Pavilion for a while, an inconspicuous clerk from the Treasure Pavilion came out of the shop, as if he wanted to take a breath.

The waiter inadvertently passed by Mu Tangxi and returned to the shop.

Mu Tangxi's fingers moved slightly, and the expression on his face remained the same, as if nothing had happened.

Soon the crowd dispersed, and Mu Tangxi stepped into the Treasure Pavilion, and immediately saw Gu Shiyin who was carefully selecting items.

Mu Tangxi stood aside as if he had thought of something. He raised his hand to call the waiter beside him and said in a gentle and purposeful tone, "Please help me get the Begonia coral hairpin."

The guy nodded, and after a while he brought out a box.

Mu Tangxi took the box and asked the waiter to go down.

The guy lowered his head and retreated. This series of actions was smooth and he didn't make any sound in the process. He didn't even ask for money.

Since the opening of this treasure pavilion, it has only recognized one owner, that is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who possesses divine eyes.

Although the term "divine eyes" is a bit exaggerated, it is well-deserved in their eyes.

Miss Mu is not a god, but she is better than a god.

When they were on the verge of death, God did not come to save them, but Miss Mu came.

The shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion secretly looked at Miss Mu from behind the curtain, her nails dyed with nail polish embedded tightly in the fabric.

She still remembered the day when her hometown was hit by a flood and they had to leave their homeland and head north to the capital to seek shelter.

Along the way, she often saw people begging the gods and Buddhas to bless them, but none of them could make it to the capital alive, and people died along the way.

Some died of starvation, some died of exhaustion, and some even died of serious illness.

In the end, only a few dozen people reached the capital alive, but what was the use?

These refugees were stopped outside by the soldiers guarding the city walls. The soldiers said they were afraid that they might be carrying plague and diseases, and they could not let them disturb the nobles in the capital.

The little girl at that time saw all of this, and looked at the desperate and painful eyes of the people who had supported each other along the way.

They lost their homes, their loved ones, they lost everything, and what was the result?

Now, after much hardship, he has arrived at the prosperous capital city, and thought that he is finally going to be saved.

But when they arrived, they found that they couldn't even enter the city gate of the capital.

Like wild dogs, they were looked at with disgust by passers-by, and they did everything to survive.

Begging passers-by for some food so that he could survive.

They also held out hope at the beginning, but they didn't know when there was only deep and endless despair in their eyes.

Liu Jie'er also had a family once, but at that time her younger brother was the most favored one in the family.

She used to hate her brother very much, but all this hatred was nothing in the face of disaster.

The flood swallowed up her family in the blink of an eye. She stood there in a daze. It was the kind-hearted people passing by who pulled her away from that dangerous place.

She followed the fleeing army in a daze, chewing grass roots and tree bark, and finally arrived in the capital.

Why can't they go in?

Why didn’t the gods and Buddhas they prayed for every day come to save them?

Every day, Sister Liu watched the luxurious and magnificent carriages entering and leaving the capital, but none of them stopped, as if they didn't see them.

Oh yes, those nobles who are too arrogant might really not have seen it.

Gradually, some of the elderly, the weak, women and children among them could not hold on any longer and were dying as if they would die in the next second.

Liu Jie'er did not panic. Instead, she watched these people's lives gradually fade away quietly and numbly. Their fate was already determined anyway, and they would all die without a burial place.

Maybe when they were all dead, the soldiers would curse at their bodies and throw them into a mass grave with disgust.

The soul returns to heaven, but the body cannot return home.

There were also scholars in the fleeing team. Their hard work in studying the books of sages could not solve the problem of not having enough food and warm clothes.

But those scholars vowed that His Majesty would not sit idly by and that His Majesty would definitely settle them down when they arrived in the capital.

Therefore, everyone quietly established a spiritual pillar called "Your Majesty" in their hearts. As long as they could reach the capital alive, their suffering would end.

But those scholars were not as healthy as those who worked in the fields, and gradually they could not keep up with the main group on the road and disappeared.

Only the remaining people still hold on to hope in their hearts.

But now the hopes of the people who had been lingering outside the capital for a month were shattered. His Majesty did not send anyone, and no one else came.

When these people in the capital saw them, they stayed away from them, as if they were not human beings but garbage.

It seems like these refugees have been forgotten by everyone.

All the suffering ended quietly on that day.

They will never forget the scene when they first met Miss Mu.

Originally they were waiting to die, a luxurious carriage drove out of the capital, but suddenly stopped when passing by them.

Liu Jie'er shuddered subconsciously, because this kind of thing had happened before. A nobleman disliked them, so he asked the coachman to stop the carriage and then came over to beat them up.

So now all the refugees were looking at the carriage, with fear and despair in their eyes. They no longer had the strength to move, and now they couldn't even run away.

But the fact that the first person to get off the carriage was a maid made the refugees feel relieved, as long as it was not the coachman.

But then, the curtain was drawn aside, and a young girl appeared.

The refugees stared in amazement at the girl who looked like a fairy from heaven, especially her light-colored eyes which looked like the golden eyes of a god under the sunlight.

But at this moment they were even more confused. What was this noble man doing here?
