After Mu Yu knocked on the subordinates of Qingsongyuan, he really thought that those people would follow the rules, so he also sent people over to investigate from time to time, and after catching two slack and lazy minions and going out of the house, Qingsongyuan was completely calm.

Until now, Xie Chongning has not left the Hou Mansion, and Mu Yu has consciously done a good job, so he plans to continue to carry it out.

Unconsciously, the day is on the eve of the Cold Food Festival, and every family has to prepare cold food, steam cold swallows, and plant willow branches.

During this time, Mu Yu has been taking classes seriously, although she has ordinary talent, she is an adult in her bones, at least she can sit still, so the progress is quite gratifying.

Shen Mei felt sorry for her hard work, so Mu Yu took advantage of the situation to propose a small kitchen for the day of the Cold Food Festival, and make cold food by herself to honor her father.

Shen Mei was coaxed by her and smiled, even if she knew that she was probably playing under the guise of making food, she still readily agreed.

With permission, Mu Yu went to the small kitchen early on the day of the Cold Food Festival and learned to cook cold food with the cooks.

In fact, she is small and has little strength, where she has done something, but the cooks have all been ordered by the lady to play with her.

Mu Yu looked at it, and the steamed Han Yan was barely competent, so he waited for the cooks to reconcile the noodles and learn to pinch the little swallows one by one.

She deliberately pinched more, steamed it, and colored it, first inserted one with the sour jujube branch prepared in the kitchen, and put it in a small flower plate, so that people could send it to her father and mother as decorations.

After that, he asked Qionglan to take the rest of the materials, saying that she would go back and play by herself.

The cooks don't think much about it, and they praise her for her filial piety.

It's always happy to be praised by others, Mu Yu shook his head and went back to his yard, carefully inserted the remaining little swallows on the branches carefully, and made another one, and then ordered Qionglan: "Go, send it to Qingsong Garden." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly added, "Just send it to the maid, just say that it is divided in the house, and every yard has it." ”

Qionglan originally wanted to persuade Miss, but Madame said, don't get too close to Young Master Naning. However, when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but he still answered softly and didn't say anything.

Miss Cheng won't go over in person, and Young Master Ning only thinks it was sent by the house, so it doesn't seem to be close.

Mu Yu saw that Qionglan was obedient, and a sly smile suddenly appeared on her tender snow-white cheeks.

Just like she thought before, since Xie Chongning will not leave the Hou Mansion for a while, and the days are peaceful, there is no need to be too anxious about brushing up on good feelings. Do some every once in a while, her father and mother will know, and they will not stop it, Qionglan is better to talk here.

In addition, Xie Chongning's side would only think that the treatment in the house had been improved, and no longer because she was too attentive and guarded against her. Subtly, I think that the hostility of the big guy Xie can be slowly reduced.

It's the best of both worlds.

Mu Yu clapped her hands, and went to her father's place in the upper room.

It's just that she would never have thought that Xie Chongning was sitting at the table reading a book, and when she saw the steamed cold swallow sent by the maid, she felt something, "Who sent this?" ”

The maid was immediately blessed, and said honestly: "Yu Gongzi, it was sent from the house, and it was said that every yard has it." "Although it doesn't look exquisite, it's always a cold food festival, and it can also be a scene, and it looks like a festival.

Xie Chongning was silent and waved her hand to retreat.

When he was the only one left in the room, his deep black eyes stared at the plate of steamed cold swallows, looking at the crooked swallows on the branches and the irregularly painted colors, for a long time, he suddenly reached out and played with it a few times, looking at the fat swallow that was touched by him and was extremely fat and stupid, he twisted his thin lips slightly, and couldn't help but sneer.

In the first two years, the government also sent steamed cold swallows to Qingsongyuan, speaking of which, he hadn't seen this thing for a long time.

It's a lot of fun.

……

The second day of the Cold Food Festival is Qingming, after worshipping the ancestors, Mu Yu was taken by Shen Mei, went to the suburbs, and also had a Qingming meal in his own village nearby.

I always don't get tired of eating in the Hou Mansion, and I feel pretty good when I occasionally eat a rough farmhouse meal.

Tasting the exceptionally delicious food made by the Youth League in Zhuangzi, Mu Yu couldn't help but let people pack a few more, saying that he would go back and eat again.

Shen Mei laughed at her greedy mouth, and she also laughed and admitted it.

In fact, after returning home in the afternoon, I asked Qionglan to send it to the small kitchen to be hot, and then quietly sent it to Qingsong Garden. Of course, this time I didn't say that it was all in the house, but that it was brought back from Zhuangzi by Mrs. and sent by someone.

Xie Chongning looked at the plate of Qingtuan that the maid brought to him, and looked at it fixedly, his eyes slowly deepened a little.

He never had a sweet tooth, and Madame ...... I didn't send him any additional ......

So, it seems to be self-evident whose handwriting this is.

The handsome young man stared at the chubby Qingtuan for a long time, and then picked up the chopsticks and slowly picked one up and brought it to his lips. Take a bite gently, the soft and glutinous tendons are soft, and the bean paste filling inside gushes out, and the mouth is suddenly filled with a sweet and greasy sweet taste.

It's not tasty.

But...... I can eat it.

Xie Chongning casually finished eating one, picked up the next one, and before he knew it, his eyes swept over the plate again and found that it was empty.

A faint trace of chagrin flashed in his eyes, and at this time, he seemed to have a trace of innocence that belonged to a young man. However, this was not what he liked, and he quickly withdrew all expressions, and coldly called the maid to take away the empty plate.

In the past of the Qingming Dynasty, Mu Yu's thoughts also precipitated.

Fuzhong has been relatively peaceful recently, and I haven't heard anything related to Mr. Xie, so no news is good news.

She put most of her energy into her homework, from having no spare energy at the beginning, to now having a little leisure, she has adapted quite well. This day, she finished making the female red that her mother asked her mother to arrange for her, and while it was still early, she decided to go for a walk in the garden.

The sky is getting warmer, and the garden of the Hou Mansion is becoming more and more gorgeous, and the peony peony flowers are blooming just right.

Mu Yu happily took Qionglan to the garden to enjoy the flowers, and by the way, he took the pen and ink Danqing to draw a picture of the peony and complete the homework assigned by Mr.

The pavilion of the Hou Mansion is built in the shade of flowers, and standing in the pavilion, you can enjoy the fragrance of the country. Walking all the way through the bluestone path, Mu Yu had seen enough, so he laid out the paper on the stone table in the pavilion, sat down quietly and began to draw.

She didn't like anyone to be around when she started writing, so she sent Qionglan to wait outside the pavilion.

It's just that she has always been attentive, but today she is a little different.

After a few strokes, I couldn't help but stop and look around, and I always felt as if there were a pair of eyes staring at me, which made people feel uncomfortable.

But the surroundings were quiet, except for Qionglan outside the pavilion, she sat honestly on the steps and didn't see anyone else.

Mu Yu showed a confused expression on his snow-white face, shook his head, and only thought that he was too careful.

However, not long after she took up the pen, she trembled, and the secret path came again! What's going on, is there really someone watching her in secret?

Raising his head violently and looking to the left, Mu Yu couldn't help but be stunned.

After a while, she put down her pen and ran towards the rockery not far away.

"Miss! Miss, what's wrong? Behind her, there was a panting voice from Qionglan.

Mu Yu looked at the empty side of the rockery, and couldn't help pursing his lips. Just now, a white corner of the clothes flashed in this position, but now it is gone.

Qionglan ran to the front and looked behind her in confusion, "Miss, is there something wrong?" ”

Mu Yu raised his head, his big watery eyes showed hesitation, "Just now, did you see anyone here?" ”

"Nope." Qionglan frowned slightly, and walked around the rockery uneasily, and saw that no one was around, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, there is no one here, could it be that there are too many branches and leaves on the trees here, are you wrong?" ”

"This ...... Maybe so......"

Mu Yu flattened his mouth, and could only say this. But she didn't feel that she was wrong, her eyesight was obviously very good, and the corners of her white clothes were so conspicuous, how could she be wrong?

Slowly returning to the pavilion, her heart suddenly jumped, speaking of which, the most common person in this house to wear white is none other than Big Guy Xie.

Just now, could it be that he was behind the rockery?

This thought flashed through his mind, and then Mu Yu knocked his head and laughed.

How could it be!

What an indifferent person Big Guy Xie is, she has seen it a long time ago, how can she peek at her.

To say that when someone else came here and found her in the pavilion, she stopped and looked at her twice, she believed it, but Mr. Xie had no such reason.

Just think about the last time we met in the courtyard, if she hadn't stepped forward to talk, the other party would definitely treat her as nothing and walk straight over. Of course, even if she accosted her, she only left after a few words.

Peeking at her? Don't be so narcissistic!

There was no follow-up, and Mu Yu quickly put the matter behind him. Naturally, it was not clear that not long after she left, behind the big tree farther away, the corners of white clothes were flying, Xie Chongning's handsome face had a little inexplicable meaning, and he glanced deeply in the direction of the pavilion, and then turned away decisively.

……

The days passed in a flash, as if in the blink of an eye, the weather became hot, and the windows in the room were replaced with a green veil full of shadows. When the sunset is shining, the artistic conception is long and beautiful.

Mu Yu also changed into a delicate tulle skirt.

Recently, she has eaten a lot and grown a lot taller, so Shen Mei specially called the embroidery lady in the house to re-measure her size and make new clothes.

Putting on a beautiful new dress, combing a double bun, and hanging a ribbon on the side, Mu Yu felt beautiful, and couldn't help but go to Shen Mei's room to take a turn, and won her mother's praise, so she went back to her yard with her head held high.

Just halfway through, I heard shouting and cheering in the distance.

That voice was not unfamiliar, arrogant and domineering, and it was one of the people she hated the most in the Hou Mansion - Mu Liangxuan.

There was also the laughter of several people, which had a faint malice in it.

Mu Yao suddenly felt uneasy, stopped her steps, frowned, and listened with her ears pricked up for a moment, she stiffened her little face and said, "Qionglan, go, follow me to see what happened over there!" ”
