Chapter 8: The Mu family visits

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shang Yiqi slept until more than ten o'clock. Last night, his mood swings were too big, and Gu Xiyan kept watching him until he fell asleep, and he didn't dare to sleep.

When Gu Xiyan got up in the morning, her mother-in-law had already cooked red dates and lotus seed porridge downstairs, and merchants have always had the custom of eating desserts on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. The one who woke up first ate breakfast first, and as for Shang Yiqi's share, needless to say, someone naturally kept it for him.

Shang Yarou disappeared after breakfast, Gu Xiyan wanted to leave, is it possible? My husband hasn't woken up yet!

How to say that the merchants in this capital are also the gateway of the power, and there will definitely be no fewer people who come to the merchants to pay New Year's greetings all day today. Shang Yiqi didn't like to deal with those people very much, and in the past two years, he always packed his things and went back to his house on the morning of the first day of the new year.

The number of visitors this morning changed one after another, and Gu Xiyan's mother-in-law understood that Gu Xiyan was not good at dealing with these people, and it didn't take long for her to let her go back to her room by herself.

When Shang Yiqi woke up, Gu Xiyan was sitting on the bed with her upper body leaning over and staring at him.

"Pity." Shang Yiqi stretched out a hand from the quilt and probed it over Gu Xiyan's neck, and in an instant, the faces of the two were already close to each other.

Looking at each other, his heart suddenly softened. Thinking of the soothing words she whispered in his ear last night, he raised his head slightly and kissed Gu Xiyan's forehead.

"Get up and wash up, there's a lot of people down there." Finding that the movements of the two were too ambiguous at this moment, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but retreat.

When the two of them went downstairs, they saw the lively living room from a distance. hugged Gu Xiyan and went directly to the kitchen, Shang Yiqi obviously didn't want to go over to the living room to get involved. Gu Xiyan went to bring him the hot lotus seed porridge, and he ate a few bites hastily and put it on the table.

The little girl had a good time in the living room, small and polite, and the visitors inevitably had to praise a few words.

"Kai, let's go out." After washing the dishes, Gu Xiyan felt that there was no reason for the two of them to stay in the kitchen all the time.

Shang Yiqi didn't say anything, but directly led Gu Xiyan to the gate. However, maybe it was really a coincidence, as soon as the door was opened, Mu Xiaoxiao and a middle-aged man appeared in front of the two of them, looking at the man's posture, he was obviously about to ring the doorbell.

"Uncle Mu, Xiaoxiao." Shang Yiqi said hello calmly, and Gu Xiyan also shouted: "Uncle Mu, Miss Mu."

Shang Yiqi and the two took the initiative to make way for the two outside the door, the middle-aged man didn't seem to like Gu Xiyan very much, and he didn't pay attention to her, he said directly to Shang Yiqi: "Shang boy, I haven't seen you for a few years, it's rare to see you in the merchant compound this year, I heard that you are developing well outside now!" ”

Shang Yiqi's response was not detached, but also not enthusiastic: "Uncle Mu smiled, come in and sit." ”

Coupled with the father and daughter of the Mu family, there are even more people in the merchant villa. Originally, a group of people in the living room were Shang Baike's subordinates, and they had to be picked up by Shang Baike's son and daughter-in-law, thinking that this might be an important person, they had no intention of participating, and they each looked for an opportunity and said goodbye.

Tea was boiling in the living room, and Uncle Mu, who was called by Shang Yiqi, laughed when he saw Shang Baike and said: "The old merchant is so interested, this morning to make tea and talk about it, it's a pleasure!" ”

Shang Baike saw his old friend's visit, quickly got up and shook his hand: "Lao Mu, how many years have we been friends, don't you know me?" Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao again, Shang Baike said lovingly: "Xiaoxiao is also here, this child is getting older and more beautiful, hurry up and sit down." ”

Shang Yiqi didn't plan to stay for a long time, so he beckoned to the little girl, and he said to Shang Baike and Uncle Mu: "Dad, Uncle Mu, I have something to do, I'll go back first, you can talk." ”

As soon as Mu Xiaoxiao entered the door, a pair of weak eyes followed Shang Yiqi closely, and when she heard him say that she wanted to leave her, how could she bear it: "Brother Qi, can't you stay longer?" ”

As soon as Mu Xiaoxiao spoke, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but look at her. Today's Mu Xiaoxiao is wearing a cotton velvet purple long skirt, and her long hair is pulled up high with an amethyst rubber band. A beautiful little face is not powdered, and each ear is adorned with a small rose-shaped earring.

Frankly speaking, Mu Xiaoxiao can't be regarded as a big beauty, but she belongs to the kind of durable type, and the more she looks at it, the more eye-catching it becomes. Coupled with the kind of crisp willow and pitiful temperament that she exudes from time to time, it can indeed arouse the love of men.

If Gu Xiyan met Mu Xiaoxiao for the first time today, then she might be attracted to Mu Xiaoxiao. But knowing that this woman has been around for nearly three years, she has a deep understanding of how much difference this woman has between before and after people. Due to today's situation, the two tacitly chose not to interfere with each other.

As soon as the little girl heard her father say that she was leaving, she jumped a few steps and took Gu Xiyan's hand.

"Xiao Qi, I didn't see that your Uncle Mu is here, can't you put it off until another day?" Shang Baike knew that his son had always been the same, but in front of his old friend for many years, when his old friend's daughter said this, he had to maintain Mu Xiaoxiao's face no matter what he said.

Shang Yiqi's face did not change, but he said without any leeway: "Uncle Mu, Xiaoxiao is embarrassed, forgive me for staying for a long time." Dad, there's something really important, let's go first. As for the thing you said, I'll think about it. ”

When Shang Yiqi's mother came out, she saw that the scene was a little stiff, so she hurriedly gave her son a look and asked him to leave early, while she went to chat with Mu Xiaoxiao herself.

Shang Baike only snorted in the end, and turned to his old friend: "Old Mu, this stinky boy doesn't make people worry, let's talk about us." ”

Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes kept glued to Shang Yiqi, until the three of them packed up their things and disappeared at the gate, then she looked at Shang Yiqi's mother in amazement.

Shang's mother didn't understand Mu Xiaoxiao's thoughts, but her son was already famous, otherwise she would definitely encourage Mu Xiaoxiao to chase her son.

"Xiaoxiao, come, Mother Shang will talk to you about yourself. Your dad and the two of them are chatting, let's leave it alone. With that, the merchant mother took Mu Xiaoxiao to the second floor.

As soon as she got home, the little girl took out a set of fishing game equipment from the luggage of the three of them and played it by herself. Gu Xiyan went to pack up her things, and Shang Yiqi went upstairs.

When Gu Xiyan returned to the room, Shang Yiqi was standing in front of the wardrobe. The wardrobe was open, and inside was a green military uniform neatly folded in a drawer.

Gu Xiyan often opened the door of this wardrobe, and knew that there was a drawer that had been locked and not opened for many years. It turns out that there is this military uniform in there!

"Kai." Gu Xiyan suddenly didn't know what to say. She didn't know what the man in front of her had experienced in the past, only that he had the identity of a soldier, but he quit the barracks overnight five years ago, and since then he has been watching from the sidelines, and has completely turned his original side job, the profession of lawyer, into a full-time career.

Shang Yiqi closed the door of the closet, cutting off his sight from the green. When he saw Gu Xiyan, he unexpectedly dragged the latter into his arms.

Gu Xiyan's heart chuckled, and she subconsciously murmured, "Qi, are you okay?" ”
