Mu Jin took a deep breath, put on his usual smile, and said gently, "Why are you here?" ”

Mu Qiao stood at the door and didn't continue to move forward, looking at him awkwardly, in fact, after listening to Mu Jin talk about the things of the year, he found that he had no reason to hate Mu Jin at all, Mu Jin had made a lot of forbearance for his willful and ignorant mother, but it was he who was injured in the end, it was not fair to say it, his father Tang Xiao was originally in the middle of Si Wuxie and couldn't live long, and it was Mu Jin who solved the follow-up pain for him.

Mu Jin saw his restraint, but he didn't break it, he only smiled and put down the medicine in his hand that was about to cool, beckoned to him, and said, "Come over and let my uncle take a look." ”

Uncle, uncle?

Mu Qiao's stiff face almost couldn't hang up, but after thinking about it carefully, according to his generation, he really wanted to call Mu Jin an uncle.

He hesitated at the door for a while, but finally walked over and sat down next to Mu Jin's bed, Mu Jin lowered his head and looked at him, this child's face was very similar to Mu Yanran's teenage, but after all, he was a boy, his facial features were slightly tougher, and his straight nose followed Tang Xiao.

"How is your mother doing now?"

"The doctor said that my mother is already at the end of the crossbow." Mucho replied.

Mu Jin sighed, prepared to get out of bed, and after another pause, asked Mu Qiao, "Can I go and see her?" ”

Mu Qiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Come on." ”

But when he walked to the door of Mu Yanran's room, Mu Jin actually gave birth to a kind of emotional timidity, Mu Qiao had already pushed the door open, Mu Jin was forced to enter the room, after seventeen years, seeing Mu Yanran again, Mu Jin actually had a feeling of being in a different world, Mu Yanran, who was sitting by the window, was shrouded in a layer of soft white light, the whole person was almost transparent, and showed a faint smile towards him, "Ah Jin." ”

Mu Jin felt that his nose was sour, he pursed his lips, and the smile that was originally familiar with him couldn't be revealed at this time, but he wanted to force himself to laugh, and finally there was an expression that seemed to be smiling but not laughing, crying and not crying, "Yanran." ”

Yanran stood up and walked in front of him, she stretched her arms slightly, wanting to hug him, but remembered that she was ignorant when she was young, she did a lot of things that hurt Mu Jin, and said a lot of things that hurt Mu Jin, what qualifications did she have to hug him with open arms like when she was a child?

She withdrew her hand, but Mu Jin had already taken the initiative to hug her, Yan Ran was stunned, her eyes instantly turned red, and in the blink of an eye, a line of tears quickly slipped down her pale face, drop by drop, "Ah Jin, I'm sorry-"

"It's me who is sorry for you, for so many years, you have suffered."

He has been blaming himself for so many years, because he is not optimistic about Mu Yanran, when Mu Zhan died, he swore in front of him that he would definitely find Yanran, but when he found it, Yanran had become like this.

Mu Jin gently patted Yanran's back, as if she was still the little girl who needed him to take care of her, Mu Qiao silently withdrew from the room, and when Yanran had cried enough, Mu Jin let go of her hand and wiped the tears off her face, Yanran grabbed his hand, looked up and asked, "Ah Jin, I, can I go back?" ”

Mu Jin was stunned, he was always telling Yanran that we should go back, but this was the first time Yanran asked him, can I still go back?

He smiled lightly and said, "Qingnan Villa was originally left to you by the eldest brother, of course you can go back, that ancient sword, the eldest brother had already given it away, but now the prince of the palace has sent it back-"

"Actually, the ancient sword I wanted at the beginning was meant to be given to Tang Xiao."

Mu Jin smiled clearly: "I know." ”

"Tang Xiao, before he dies, what do you have to bring to me?" Yanran asked.

Mu Jin said: "He can't bear you, and he can't bear your children." ”

Tang Xiao's life of only more than 20 years was soaked in endless darkness, and Mu Yanran was a light to him, but this light was too luxurious for him, he always felt that it shouldn't belong to him, so he missed it, and it was fate.

Mu Jin came out of Yanran's room, Mu Qiao was still sitting outside waiting, hearing the sound of Mu Jin going out, he raised his head, his eyes were dazed, and he was a little at a loss, Mu Jin's heart softened, sat down beside him, and asked, "What are you going to do later?" ”

Mu Qiao shook his head: "I don't know. ”

He was living in hatred before, just thinking about finding Qingnan Villa, finding Mu Jin and killing him, avenging his parents, and taking back what belonged to him. Mu Yanran's nurse always felt that Mu Jin was not the blood of the Mu family, but she was treated by Mu Zhan as a brother, and she felt worthless for Mu Yanran in her heart.

Mu Jin sighed in his heart and said, "You and your mother will go back to the villa, and Qingnan Villa will be yours in the future." ”

"I know you have a son."

"That's your grandfather inherited from his cousin, not my child, his qualifications are mediocre, not as good as you, you are the master of Qingnan Villa."

He patted Mu Qiao's shoulder, which was not quite broad, and Mu Qiao glanced at him, then turned his head away, "But I-"

"Didn't you always want to go back to Qingnan Villa?"

"Actually, I'm just talking about it, I'm bent on killing you and getting Qingnan Villa, but what to do after that, I haven't thought about it, and now I think about it I'm really stupid."

Mu Jin was silent for a while, but finally didn't say a word of comfort, he stood up and said, "You know the prince of the county king's mansion, right?" ”

Mucho snorted.

Mu Jin said: "This matter is a long story, in short, he should be in the prison now, but he was rescued by the prince, the emperor is looking for him, I will send him to the villa, you will escort him back with your mother tomorrow." ”

"What about you?"

"I still have something to stay and take care of." His beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed, as if what he had stayed to deal with was to hook up with a pretty girl.

He turned around and left, Mu Qiao was stunned in place, and he didn't know what to do for a while, when Su Lingling and Kang Yao came over, and when they saw him there, they went over and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Mu Qiao pursed his lips and shook his head again, "It's nothing, it's just a little lost." ”

Su Lingling had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with this life-saving benefactor who was originally working against her, and she was thinking about how to comfort him, when Kang Yao on the side said, "Wouldn't it be good to have a meal if you are lost?" The heart is lost because there is an empty piece in the heart, do you try it? Eat something to fill your stomach and squeeze it and it won't be empty, my wife has made something delicious, do you continue to lose or go to fill it? ”

Su Lingling and Mu Qiao were actually persuaded by this crooked reasoning, and followed Kang Yao to the kitchen, Aunt Qiao made some desserts, which were served on a fine white porcelain plate, which was particularly pleasing to the eye, Su Lingling picked up a piece and tasted it, Aunt Qiao's craftsmanship was really not blown, Su Lingling, as the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, naturally ate a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but she had never eaten such a delicious snack, sweet but not greasy, so that the mood was inexplicably better.

She glanced over at Mu Qiao, and noticed that he was smiling unconsciously.

Su Lingling decided to send some to Yanran, and when she thought about it like this, Aunt Qiao had already filled two small plates for her, put them in the food box, and handed them to her, "Send them to her." ”

Su Lingling smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Qiao." ”

At noon, Huaxi and Su Xin both came over to eat, and Ci Jing also ran over, the small table in the medical hall was full, and Ci Jing couldn't move his legs as soon as he encountered something delicious, not to mention that now Sun Xian Lian's matter has been planned, she is in a good mood. And everyone is in a good mood, and this meal is not unhappy.

After the meal, Cijing leaned in front of Aunt Qiao and said, "Aunt Qiao, can you teach me two dishes now, I want to cook them for the prince, but he is injured now, so he can only eat some light ones." ”

Aunt Qiao smiled and said, "Leave it to Aunt Qiao, come with me." ”

Cijing really has no talent in this area, but under the rescue of Aunt Qiao's skillful hands, it was not too ugly, she spent an afternoon finally making three dishes, happily put a plate in the food box, and decided to send it to Sun Xian Lian.

But as soon as she came out of the door of the medical hall, she met Situ Ke, and she was about to turn around subconsciously, but a person behind her had already walked over and stopped Situ Ke.

"Lord Situ, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Master Mu? Why did you come to the capital? Don't you know me? Before Situ Ke could notice Cijing, he had been called away by Mu Jin, Cijing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Mu Jin's eyes drifted to her, Cijing winked at him, and then turned around and went to the other side.

"Master Mu Zhuang, what do you see when you come to the capital this time? How is the preparation of the Imperial Guards this time? Situ Ke asked casually.

Mu Jin smiled faintly and said, "Don't hide it from Lord Situ, there may be some difficulties this year." ”

Situ Ke raised his eyebrows: "Oh? ”

"You also know that the new emperor has made some changes after succeeding to the throne, and it is not allowed to mine iron ore privately, and the original iron ore in Qingnan Villa is about to bottom out, and there is a war with the Western Regions this year......" Mu Jin glanced at Situ Ke with some embarrassment, "I wonder if Lord Situ can discuss with the emperor that the military equipment will be reduced in a few years, or that Qingnan Villa will be allowed to mine separately?" ”

Situ Ke glanced at him thoughtfully, Mu Jin's expression remained unchanged, Situ Ke touched his chin and said, "In this case, I will prepare an excerpt and submit it to the emperor another day, and Master Mu Zhuang will prepare what he can prepare first." ”

"That's for sure." Mu Jin gave up his hand.

Situ Ke and his brothers climbed on his shoulders and said, "It's rare to bump into Master Mu today, why don't I be the east, how about inviting Master Mu Zhuang to have a drink?" ”

Mu Jin smiled heartily: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

After the two left, Cijing came out of a corner again, and said in his heart that Mu Jin really saw people talking about people and talking nonsense, and actually coaxed Situ Ke's old fox, and he was relieved at the moment and walked to the county king's mansion.
