Xie Mingxuan listened to Mu Xijun's words, and slightly understood the truth, but his face was still gloomy, so he simply put down his chopsticks and said, "If the lady doesn't sit down, Mingxuan won't eat either." ”

As he spoke, he really threw his chopsticks on the table, sat on the chair with his head down, and looked like a child angry.

Mu Xijun looked at Xie Mingxuan with some embarrassment, and before she could speak, she heard Old Lady Xie call in a deep voice, "Mingxuan." ”

But she didn't see Xie Mingxuan respond, Old Lady Xie frowned, looking at her eldest son, she was ashamed and angry.

The old lady was uncomfortable, and the people at the table, including the old man, didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing this, Mu Xijun's heart sank, but he smiled on his face, and pushed Xie Mingxuan with his other empty hand, "Mingxuan, is my mother calling you?"

After speaking, he saw Xie Mingxuan raise his head and look at her depressedly, Mu Xijun looked at him with a smile, then looked at the old lady, and said, "Mingxuan was a little greedy yesterday, presumably because he didn't sober up, and blamed his daughter-in-law for not thinking about it." ”

Saying that, he gently pushed Xie Mingxuan again, with an unhappy look in his eyes, Xie Mingxuan picked up the chopsticks again when he saw it, and called out, "Mother, Mingxuan is wrong." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Xie glanced at Mu Xijun, and then moved her chopsticks.

The family had just eaten the bride's first meal.

Mu Xijun's heart was slightly lowered, looking at Xie Mingxuan's somewhat sullen appearance, he sighed slightly in his heart, raised his hand and picked up some vegetables and put them in Xie Mingxuan's bowl, Xie Mingxuan really gave her face, whether it was vegetables or meat, he ate them all.

At the end of the meal, everyone at the table looked at her with some surprise, which made Mu Xijun uncomfortable for a while.

In the end, after going out, the fifth aunt and grandmother said a word to solve her doubts.

"The eldest brother has always been very picky about eating, especially at the old lady, who has never eaten so much. ”

Mu Xijun was stunned when he heard this, looked at the person beside him, and didn't know what it was like in his heart.

She was indeed negligent, and this bride was indeed embarrassed.

After the fifth aunt and grandmother left, walking on the way back to Du Zhong Courtyard, Mu Xijun gave Xin'er a look, Xin'er slowed down her steps, and pulled Qing'er to say something, and gradually moved away from the two of them.

Seeing this, Mu Xijun asked curiously, "Why did you eat all the things you like and those you don't like?"

saw Xie Mingxuan shake his head and said, "Mingxuan doesn't have anything he doesn't like." ”

Mu Xijun frowned, Xie Mingxuan lowered his head, and muttered, "Originally, Mingxuan would have made his mother unhappy, if his mother saw that Mingxuan didn't eat the things that the lady had clipped, Mingxuan was afraid that his mother would blame her mother." ”

Mu Xijun was slightly stunned, somewhere in his chest was slightly warm, but he heard him say, "Besides, as long as it is sandwiched by the lady, Mingxuan likes it." ”

Mu Xijun looked at his reddish ears, and his cheeks were a little hot unconsciously.

"Hey, young master, young grandmother. ”

Mu Xijun looked at the panting appearance of the middle-aged man in a dark blue cloth robe in front of him, and was a little puzzled, and said,

"Meng Ye, why are you in such a hurry?"

Meng Li was carrying an account book in his arms, and then he said with a sigh of relief, "It's just some things that the third master went to Qizhou to buy a few days ago, and I have to explain it to the old man." ”

Mu Xijun raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled, "Then it won't make you anxious like this?"

"Hey!" Meng Li also smiled, "Grandma doesn't know, there are still a lot of things in this warehouse, I don't want to hurry up on the road, and I will clean up the warehouse in one day today." ”

Hearing this, Mu Xijun nodded, "That's really hard for you." As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly realize, "Look, I'm an eyeless one." ”

As he spoke, he moved out of the way, "Master Meng, slow down, don't be tired, if you are tired, my old man will not feel distressed?"

Meng Li hurriedly excused himself and said, "The young grandmother is serious, I am just an errand, and I am still an old man who is tired." ”

Mu Xijun smiled but didn't continue, just said, "Master Meng, please, I won't stand in your way." ”

"Don't, don't, young grandmother, I can't afford this. ”

"What's there to be ashamed of, isn't it thanks to you that the Xie family has such a big family business?" Seeing that he was about to argue again, Mu Xijun didn't give him a chance to speak, and said, "Even if you run errands, such a big house is hard enough." What's more, Meng Ye is still in charge of so many miscellaneous things, so don't be polite to me. ”

Meng Li hesitated for a long time, and he didn't say a word, but he didn't feel half unhappy in his heart, but was nourished by the beauty of Mu Xijun's words.

"Then the eldest young grandmother, the eldest young master, I am not welcome, I will go to the old man first. ”

"Master Meng, please. ”

Meng Li saw another salute and went in the direction of Du Ruoxuan.

Seeing that the people were walking away, Mu Xijun smiled, glanced at Xin'er and Qing'er behind him, and said, "Qing'er, help the eldest young master into the house." ”

Qing'er was stunned for a moment, then answered, and walked to Xie Mingxuan's side

"Master Da, let's go back with Qing'er. Qing'er said, Xie Mingxuan glanced at Mu Xijun as if he was reluctant.

Mu Xijun nodded with a smile and said, "I'll go back in a while." As he spoke, he looked at Qing'er and said, "Don't forget to warm up a cup of milk for the eldest young master to warm your stomach." ”

Qing'er glanced at Mu Xijun and responded with a smile, and helped Xie Mingxuan back to Du Zhong Courtyard.

"Xin'er. When the people were far away, Mu Xijun beckoned to Xin'er.

Xin'er stepped forward suspiciously and listened to Mu Xijun ask, "Do you know the person in the tent?"

Xin'er nodded, "I recognize, the second-in-command in the tent is the slave's cousin." ”

Mu Xijun's eyes lit up, "Awesome, Xin'er, I didn't see it, you are still a real person!"

"Young Grandma......" shouldn't have blushed, but Xin'er was embarrassed by her praise and blushed.

Mu Xijun covered his lips with a handkerchief and smiled, and said, "Okay, don't make fun of you, you can help me do something." ”

As he spoke, he whispered in Xin'er's ear, "You go and ask your cousin, just say that the third master went out this time to buy some medicinal materials that he didn't have before, if he asks you what you are doing here, you will say that the eldest young grandmother wants to make medicinal food for the young master, but she didn't pick one you like at home." ”

Xin'er listened and nodded curiously, but she didn't ask Mu Xijun, and Mu Xijun didn't say anything.

Seeing Xin'er leave, Mu Xijun walked towards his courtyard.

...............

Angelica Hospital

The fourth aunt and grandmother have always had a good relationship with the third room, so after finishing the meal, they went to Angelica Courtyard with the three-room couple.

Xie Mingyu sat in the courtyard basking in the sun while listening to the two women next to him chatting.

"Third sister-in-law, look at her powerful, where do you put the surname Xie in your eyes?" Xie Mingdie got angry when she remembered what Mu Xijun stopped her to say, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

"You, why do you have to provoke her in front of the old man?" The third lady frowned and said, "Since the first day she came to Xie's house, I have seen that she is by no means a good person, one thing in front of you, another thing behind your back, you are stupid, facing her in front of her father." ”

"That's according to my sister-in-law's opinion...... "Xie Mingdie has always been the best with this third sister-in-law, basically it is already counted, everything she says is right here in Xie Mingdie."

I saw the third young grandmother smiling slightly, which was very mysterious, and it aroused Xie Mingdie's curiosity.

And Xie Mingyu on the side didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard this, and there was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

As soon as Mu Xijun walked to the door of Du Zhong Courtyard, he heard a whisper, as if he was arguing.

It's just that Mu Xijun looked into the courtyard, and there were only the people who sprinkled and cleaned, and he couldn't see the shadow of the quarrelsome people at all.

Mu Xijun frowned, how could she hear that the person's voice was a little familiar, and when she wanted to listen carefully, the voice disappeared, and then she heard someone's footsteps walking towards the gate of the courtyard.

Mu Xijun hurriedly walked into the courtyard, and the steps under his feet were neither fast nor slow.

Sure enough, just a few steps outside the door, a person hurriedly walked in.

Mu Xijun glanced back curiously and found that this person was Qing'er.

Qing'er looked at Mu Xijun with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

"Grandma. He bowed and lowered his head, but Mu Xijun still saw his reddish eyes.

But he didn't make a sound at the moment, and nodded, "Where have you been?

Qing'er lowered her head and hurriedly said, "It's hot." The slave and maid will go and fetch it. ”

Without waiting for Mu Xijun to say more, he went to the small kitchen.

This small kitchen is available in every yard, and I am afraid that each house and courtyard will have something to eat, and the big kitchen is only so big that it cannot be done.

Mu Xijun raised her eyebrows, although she was curious, she didn't ask in detail, this Qing'er was thin-skinned at first glance, if she asked, I was afraid it would make her annoyed.

After thinking about it, he turned back and walked towards the house.

"What are you doing?" opened the curtain and saw Xie Mingxuan painting on the table.

Seeing Mu Xijun walk in, Xie Mingxuan hurriedly put away the drawing paper in front of him, put it behind his back, and lowered his head, "I ......"

"What are you?" Mu Xijun looked at the ink marks on his body and suddenly laughed, "Are you painting on paper, or are you painting clothes?"

Xie Mingxuan's ears turned red again.

Seeing this, Mu Xijun didn't say much, but said, "Come, change your clothes." ”

So saying, he went into the back room and rummaged through the closet, and finally found a purple shirt.

"That's it. As he spoke, he beckoned to Xie Mingxuan again, looking at the drawing paper and brush behind him, Mu Xijun frowned, "Don't come over?"

"No ......"

As soon as the words fell, Qing'er walked in from the outside, and her steps stopped.

Mu Xijun smiled, looked at Qing'er and said, "Go and get a basin of clean water, wash the young master's hands and face." ”

"Yes. With that, Qing'er put down the tray with the hot milk and went down.

Qing'er walked out, Mu Xijun put the coat in his hand on the back of the chair, and walked to Xie Mingxuan's side, but she didn't expect that as soon as she stretched out her hand, Xie Mingxuan avoided her.

Mu Xijun looked at his hand clenching the drawing paper behind him, as if there was something unsightly on it.

I couldn't help but feel a little surprised in my heart, but I didn't mention more.

On this embarrassing occasion, Xin'er came in from outside, Mu Xijun glanced at Xie Mingxuan and went outside with Xin'er.

"What did your uncle say?"

Xin'er whispered in Mu Xijun's ear, "Uncle said that the third master went to buy here, and the silver cost was not more than five thousand taels." ”

Mu Xijun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, five thousand taels? The third master is not a greedy person, so what did he do with five thousand taels?

Thinking about it for a while, he forgot about Xie Mingxuan.

"Young grandmother......" Xin'er called her.

Mu Xijun came back to his senses, looked at Xin'er and smiled, "You go in and change the young master's clothes." ”

As he spoke, he glanced into the room again, "Remember to take off the drawing paper and pen in his hand." ”

Xin'er nodded and walked towards the room, and walked behind Xie Mingxuan, and happened to see him spread out the drawing paper.

Xin'er looked at it for a long time, only to feel familiar, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, "Isn't this the young grandmother? ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw that Xie Mingxuan's ears were red, and he put away the drawing paper.

And Mu Xijun, who was standing at the door, was also stunned when he heard Xin'er's voice, and looked into the room curiously.

I saw Xie Mingxuan put away the drawing paper and didn't let anyone look at it.

Mu Xijun frowned, looking at this eldest young master of the Xie family, squinting his eyes, but in his heart he was surprised by the surprise Xie Mingxuan gave him.

Can a stupid person draw a good hand?

Just thinking about Meng Li's voice at the gate of the courtyard, he only heard him ask, "Is the young grandmother here?"

Mu Xijun stood at the door of the house and pretended not to hear, watching Xin'er and Xie Mingxuan entangled, and even thought about watching the play.

It wasn't until the little maid came to report that she turned around

"Grandma, Steward Meng is here to ask you to go to the old lady's place. ”

"Didn't call uncle?"

The little maid shook her head, "Steward Meng didn't say anything. ”

Mu Xijun nodded, and then looked at the stalemate of the two people in the room and pursed their lips, Xin'er was afraid that she would be half angry with Xie Mingxuan.

As soon as he turned around and turned his back to the door, he suddenly thought of something, and walked back into the house, ignoring Xin'er's surprised gaze and Xie Mingxuan's blushing face, he entered the inner room, took a few silver tickets and walked out, and beckoned to Xin'er, "Xin'er, come here." ”

Xin'er left Xie Mingxuan's side and walked towards Mu Xijun, "What do you want from the young grandmother?"

Mu Xijun said, "You take this silver ticket, hurry up to Angelica Courtyard to stop the third master, give him this silver ticket, remember to give it to him." ”

Xin'er nodded and took the order.

As soon as Xin'er went out, Qing'er came in, Mu Xijun explained a few more words, and then walked out of the courtyard to Du Ruoxuan.

............

At this moment, the people from the three rooms of the Xie family in Du Ruoxuan came, Old Man Xie sat in the first place, the second master on the right, the third master, the sixth master Yuan on the left, the fourth master Miao, and the housekeeper Meng Li stood behind the old man Xie and nodded and smiled when he saw Mu Xijun coming.

The rest of the people, except for Old Man Xie, also got up to salute, and Mu Xijun bowed his knees and didn't say anything.

"Sit down. Old Man Xie pointed to the chair next to Xie Mingyu, Mu Xijun glanced at it and hesitated, but sat down under Old Man Xie's majestic gaze.

As soon as I sat down, I heard the old man Xie say, "I called you here today because the third child went to Qizhou to buy, and there was a mistake in the account book, which is a matter of the public school, so it is necessary to know every room." Now that everyone in each room has arrived, Miao Siye and Yuan Liuye are also there, the third child, tell me, what's going on?"
