Inside the main hall.

"Sir."

Xiao Yao stood gently behind Mu Junlan's chair and pounded his shoulders for him.

"Don't be too tired lately, you see, another gray hair is coming out." She gently grabbed a white hair on Mu Junlan's head, and pulled it off with a slight force.

"Look," Xiao Yao spread the white hair in the palm of her hand and handed it to Mu Junlan.

Mu Junlan slightly grabbed Xiao Yao's wrist, turned his head and looked at her gently, "Yao'er-"

"Sir—"

"Newspaper—" A small guy ran in, and when he saw the scene in the hall, his head was a little stunned.

"Say it! What's up! Mu Junlan could only helplessly put down his white wrist first, and looked at the little guy with displeased eyes.

These subordinates are all blind.

"That, this—" The little guy was also suddenly frightened.

Xiao Yao also withdrew Qianqiansu's hand, her face was slightly red, and she said softly, "Say, if there is something, I want to report it to the head of the family!" If it's not something important, forget it! ”

"The head of the house, the master of the house," the little man said embarrassedly, "outside the door, there is a man who looks like a scholar who says that the master of the family has seen him and is waiting outside the courtyard. ”

Xiao Yao was slightly stunned, and she looked at Mu Junlan puzzled.

Scholar? Usually, the lord meets either high-ranking officials and nobles or wealthy businessmen, why did a scholar come today?

Mu Junlan raised his hand and put it to his mouth and coughed a few times, "What's that person's name?" ”

"The head of the family, this person calls himself Shu Yeqiu."

"Then you call him in!" Mu Junlan waved his hand, gently squeezed Xiao Yao's wrist, and rubbed the back of her hand slightly, "This person is the person recommended by your nephew Xiao, and I was about to tell you, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly." ”

"It's okay, master," Xiao Yao's gaze was still so gentle, "The master's decision is the decision of the concubine, whatever the master said, it's all right!" ”

"You're really a good helper!" Mu Junlan's mood affected by that little guy gradually improved.

The little guy was still stunned and knelt there.

Mu Junlan was angry when he saw it: "Eyeless thing! Get down! Call the man in! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The little guy ran out with a lot of pee.

"Master," Xiao Yao gently stroked Mu Junlan's cheek, and a flash of light quickly floated through the corner of her eyes.

Now the lord's mood is getting more and more unstable, this is a-

Mu Junlan squinted, leaning back in front of the sandalwood chair, enjoying Xiao Yao's touch.

When Ye Shuqiu came in, he saw the scene in front of him-

Mu Junlan sat comfortably and relaxed on the chair, while Xiao Yao gently squeezed his shoulders for him.

He stood quietly not far from the door, not disturbing them any further.

After a stick of incense -

"Yao'er, your hands are soft, aren't they?" Mu Junlan smiled, "That book Ye Qiu doesn't know what's going on, he hasn't come yet." ”

Xiao Yao smiled slightly, "Master, others have been waiting at the door for a long time!" He didn't bother us! Now you talk, the concubine will retire! ”

Mu Junlan thought for a while and nodded, "It's okay, it's not suitable for family members to appear in front of others!" ”

No matter how much I spoil you, I can't!

Moreover, I don't want you to appear in front of other people's eyes often, and I will be jealous when I see you smiling at others.

Alas-

Mu Junlan sighed silently in his heart.

When Xiao Yao and Ye Shuqiu staggered by, Ye Shuqiu smiled faintly at her and bowed lightly.

Xiao Yao was stunned.

When I looked back at it, I realized that it was just an ordinary person.

But—why?

She felt like she had gone back fifteen years ago.

That smile, that five-year-old boy—

Is that you? Shuqiu?

Ye Shuqiu just smiled faintly, more than ten years of hard work and forbearance made him learn to hide his emotions.

However, no matter how much he hid it, he couldn't hide the emotions he once had, and he recognized Xiao Yao.

Fifteen years have passed -

Cousin, I'm relieved that you're doing well.

If you're having a bad day—

Ye Shuqiu's eyes gradually cooled, and he squinted at Mu Junlan in the room.

Anyway - I'm here for the same purpose -

Mu Junlan suddenly felt cold in the room.

However, that feeling comes and goes quickly.

Strange - what's going on?

He could only blame it on the fact that it was autumn and the cold wind was blowing.

"Someone! Add another charcoal fire! Mu Junlan shouted, and by the way, he pretended not to know, "Who is the outside?!" What's the matter! ”

The corners of Ye Shuqiu's mouth curled - the show is about to start, but who sings white face and who sings flower face?

He adjusted his voice slightly, and said respectfully: "Contemptible Shu Ye Qiu, by the grace of Xiao Ning, came to meet the Mu family master!" ”

Mu Junlan listened to this voice and nodded with satisfaction, "Come in!" ”

Ye Shuqiu arrived in front of him and slowly knelt down, "Contemptible Shu Ye Qiu, meet the Prime Minister of the Northern Dynasty-"

"Get up, please!" Mu Junlan became more and more satisfied with Ye Shuqiu's title.

At the beginning, he always thought that Shu Yeqiu was Ye Shuqiu, but now, Mu Junlan overturned the conjecture in his heart-

How can there be a reason for the prime minister of one dynasty to kneel to the prime minister of another dynasty?

Regardless of whether the movement is stiff or not, the mentality alone will be unbearable!

However, Mu Junlan couldn't have imagined-

In order to gain the trust of everyone in the Northern Capital, Ye Shuqiu has now abandoned his existing status as the prime minister-

He always remembered that he was now Shu Yeqiu, the illegitimate son of the patriarch of the Xiao clan, without any background and status!

How can an illegitimate child act like a prime minister?!

Even if this bastard is talented!

Mu Junlan stroked his beard, "I don't know what the scholar is doing here?" Can you briefly tell us about your past? ”

Ye Shuqiu got up and bowed his head and said: "Lonely soul, Yubian Village, the red dust has messed up the past, too much-"

Mu Junlan can clearly see such a scene-

A lonely homeless teenager lives in a fisherman's village, but because of an incident in his heart, he leaves angrily!

"Gone out of love? What was the purpose of coming to this northern capital? Mu Junlan asked with a chuckle.

"To achieve fame!" A gaze called determination appeared in Ye Shuqiu's eyes.

"Good! Good! Good! Mu Junlan knows that this kind of ambitious teenager is the best to control!

As long as he achieves what he wants, then this kind of person will do anything for you!

However, Mu Junlan was still not very relieved, and continued to ask: "Then why did you come to Mu Mansion, not Qian Mansion, or Qin Mansion, or there-"

"It's such a muscen!" Ye Shuqiu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment like a hairy boy who had just come out of the world and didn't know anything about the world, "I saw a relative of mine on the road——"

"It's Xiao Ning, right?" Mu Junlan interrupted him.

"Yes, yes," Ye Shuqiu looked like a teenager who had been recognized and had no scheming.

"Hmm-" Mu Junlan thought, "Then what kind of position do you want to get in Mu Mansion?" ”

Ye Shuqiu was stunned for a while-

What the? This Mu Junlan, is so wary?!

"Go back to Mu Xiang, let Mu Xiang arrange!" Ye Shuqiu bowed slightly.

Mu Junlan can achieve this status, how can he be wary?

He was just waiting for the news of the secret guard's investigation, he looked at Ye Shuqiu with cold eyes, and he will keep you for a few days for the time being!

Arrangement...... Mu Junlan thought about it-

"You-just go to be the second lady's teacher!"

He also had a headache.

My second daughter is really a little naughty!

has a temperament like a boy, and I invited a few teaching gentlemen before, but she was angry and left!

Either the beard is shaved, or the nose is blue and the face is swollen, and there are even angry slurred speech.

At the beginning, an old gentleman said angrily before leaving: "Witch! It's a witch! Prime Minister Mu! It's not that the old decay is bad! It's that the old man is incapable of teaching the second miss! Really! Leave! ”

Without waiting for Mu Junlan to finish speaking, he packed up his things and left angrily, and was stumbled by the threshold.

Mu Junlan was also reluctant to punish herself, the second daughter who seemed to be well-behaved, but was actually like a demon.

Later, no one in the house dared to care about the second lady's cultural level.

Mu Junlan looked at Ye Shuqiu's young and ordinary face - don't be angry again!

That girl is still a few months away, if she marries her husband's family with this temperament, what will others think of our Mufu?

Headache –

Ye Shuqiu was stunned, and quickly reacted, and the corners of his mouth bent out a faint arc.

Second Miss's Teaching Gentleman?

Isn't the second miss Mu Xiyao?

Oops, second miss, you just kicked Ye Gongzi and me out of the courtyard before, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon.

It's really-

"Ahh

What am I going to say?

He closed his eyes and pondered, "You probably haven't seen the second lady of Mufu yet!" That - who! Go and call the second lady over! ”

When the little guy outside the door heard that he was going to call the second miss, he dispersed lifelessly, hating his parents for not having two more feet - they were all tossed by the second miss!

Leaving behind an unlucky guy who reacted slowly, he walked towards Lian Yaoxuan with a bitter face.

"These guys who just eat and don't work!" Mu Junlan, who was angry, patted his hand directly, "Isn't this a joke for others to see our Mufu!" ”

Ye Shuqiu still maintained that indifference, "Mu Xiang, that kid will wait here for a while." ”

As he spoke, he stood aside.

"Self-convenience, self-convenience-" Mu Junlan didn't have time to pay attention to him, he was only worried that his daughter would be disobedient but couldn't come-

But—

"Daddy, what's the matter?!" Mu Xiyao walked over in a thin white shirt, and muttered, "That medicine is bitter, can I not drink it, Dad?" ”

"Nonsense!" Mu Junlan pulled her past and counted, "Look at what kind of body you are wearing!" And there are outsiders around! You, you, you, do you want to be angry with the old man to be willing?! ”

There are outsiders?!

Mu Xiyao's eyes widened, she looked around, completely ignoring Ye Shuqiu who was standing on the side, "What's that?" Isn't it just me and you, Daddy? ”

"Ugly family! What an ugly family! Mu Junlan just patted his heart angrily, but looking at the face that was similar to Xiao Yao's youth, he was reluctant to start.

"That ......" Ye Shuqiu walked out quietly.

"Ah————!!!!h Mu Xiyao's screams almost lifted the roof, "Don't look at it!" ”

Then he turned his head and asked Mu Junlan, "Dad, who is he!" Our family's new slaves?! ”

"You, you, you!" Mu Junlan's beard was cocked.

Ye Shuqiu only felt that his indifferent mentality was almost broken by a little girl who didn't have time.

"Who are you!" Mu Xiyao directly draped Mu Junlan's coat on herself, "Dad! Who the hell is he?! ”

This temperament...... Ye Shuqiu was speechless.

Why did he think this girl was gentle and cute in the first place? Could it be that the true picture has gone away?

In fact, when Mu Xiyao and Ye Shuqiu met for the first time, because Ye Shuqiu's body was too smelly, Mu Xiyao never dared to look at him directly, which led to the fact that he couldn't recognize him now.

"He's the new teacher I hired for you," Mu Junlan really didn't know what to say-

actually let outsiders see when his daughter was wearing a thin outfit......

Well, he didn't think about the trouble his daughter caused to others, he only thought about his own daughter who seemed to be at a loss.

Kill that person and kill him?

A cold light flickered in Mu Junlan's eyes.

"What?!" Mu Xiyao's eyes widened, "Dad, are you going to find me a teacher again?!" My daughter doesn't know his name yet! Dad, are you willing to hand me over to outsiders?! ”

"You character! You're a man! Mu Junlan gasped angrily, I really don't know who these two daughters follow? !

"Ahem," Ye Shuqiu interrupted the chat between them slightly, and if he was so entangled by Mu Xiyao, he was afraid that his plan would start from scratch again-

He bowed slightly and said, "Contemptible Shu Ye Qiu, I've seen Miss Mu Er!" ”

"What?!" Mu Xiyao was really surprised this time, huh? Yes?!

This ordinary dress, you can't find it if you throw it into the pile, and the person is Shu Yeqiu?!

A person who drank the juice of the flower with himself?!

Wrong! That's accidental ingestion! Eating!

Ah——!h How so!?

For the first time, Mu Xiyao felt that her life had become gloomy-

That flower - that flower - I don't know if there is an antidote!

That's right! Ask your mother!

As for this person—

Mu Xiyao's eyes flashed with a sly light-
