Chapter Ninety-Seven: Husband and Wife Talk
Mrs. Wu Anhou nodded and said to Mama Zhou, "Tell me to go down and set the meal!" ”
Not long after, Xue Jincheng and Xue Li, father and son, came to the main hall, and Mrs. Wu Anhou looked softer.
Mu Zi said hello to Xue Li, and Xue Li waved his hand casually, "You little girl, when did you become so polite?" Sit down! ”
Speaking of which, this is the first time Mu Zi has had a face-to-face conversation with Xue Li, but according to what I learned from Ah Gui and Mama Liu a few days ago, Xue Li is an active and fun-loving person, it is said that when he was young, as long as he was free, he would take a group of them to ride horses and fly kites all over the capital, just like a child king.
Looking at his smiling eyes, Mu Zi couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed.
This meal, not only Mu Zi and Xue Jincheng, but also Mrs. Wu Anhou also ate extremely comfortably, adding half a bowl of rice than usual. As long as Xue Li is present, there is usually no rule of eating and sleeping, and he talks and laughs freely during a meal, and his mouth almost never stops, but even so, he still eats three bowls of rice at the same speed as Xue Jincheng.
Xue Jincheng had a straight face almost the whole meal, his expression was strict, and he didn't say a word, just like a marching battle, which made Mu Zi a little suspicious of his sense of taste, could it be that he didn't taste any different from this food with all the color and flavor?
Mu Zi endured the smile on her lips, looked at Xue Li, and then at Xue Jincheng, only to feel that except for their looks, the two of them really didn't look like biological father and son, and their temperaments were simply different.
Mrs. Wu Anhou has long been accustomed to this father and son with very different personalities, and she has not been idle, constantly helping her husband with vegetables, and adding a bowl of soup at the right time when he talks a little too much, and watching him drink it.
Such a harmonious way of getting along must also be a tacit understanding that can only be cultivated after living together for many years!
After dinner, Xue Jincheng and Mu Zi left together, and arrived at the fork at the end of the garden, leading to the front yard on one side and Zijin Yuan where Mu Zi lived.
Xue Jincheng did not leave along another road, but walked towards Zijin Garden with Mu Zi.
Mu Zi paused, walked slowly, and asked him hesitantly, "Do you have something?" ”
Xue Jincheng nodded solemnly, "Something to tell you!" ”
"Oh!" Mu Zi responded sluggishly, and the two of them were speechless, and returned to Zijin Yuan in silence.
Ah Gui went to make tea, Mama Liu was busy sorting out Mu Zi's clothes, Ah Jiu didn't know where she went, and there were only Mu Zi and Xue Jincheng in the house.
Mu Zi sat on the chair and subconsciously rubbed the teacup in her hand, "What do you want to say?" ”
As the words fell, Mu Zi raised her head and happened to see Xue Jincheng looking directly at her eyes, looking at each other.
It seemed that a string had been plucked in her heart, Mu Zi was a little flustered, she turned her face, her eyes looked at the window lattice, and the hand holding the tea cup subconsciously tightened.
She hid it very well on her face, but Xue Jincheng still caught the panic that flashed in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart, which was a good signal, at least it showed that she was not completely indifferent to him.
Xue Jincheng looked at her for a long time, and was a little reluctant to break the rare trace of affection between the two, until he noticed that Mu Zi was a little annoyed, so he slowly spoke, his voice was still calm, and he said unhurriedly, "Because of her special status, the Song family temporarily left her in the mansion." Liu, how about sending her to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing? ”
