Chapter Thirty-Nine

"Mother, this is a variety of choices for grandmother, it can only be said that there is a heart to honor you, how can it be said that it is a ghost?" Mu Yu leaned over, raised his hands to his chest, and waved to the old lady, "If grandmother has no other instructions, then I will go back to help my mother prepare for the reception." ”

The old lady didn't care about her, and waved her hand in disbelief to let her go quickly.

On the day Mu Yi came back, Mu Yu was picking peach blossoms and preparing to make peach blossom wine.

Biyue trotted over happily, "Miss, the eldest young master is back!" Now it's in the main hall. ”

"You're back today?" Mu Yu twisted a pink peach blossom, and couldn't help but feel a little distracted. In fact, she is not familiar with her eldest brother.

When she came to this world at the age of seven, Mu Yi had already gone to the military camp and only had one chance to come back once a year, and Mu Yu missed Mu Yi because of the morning class.

So in the past few years, her impression of Mu Yi is only the never-ending small gifts and letters of greetings, and when she heard that she was going to see Mu Yi, she couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"Do I want a change of clothes?" Mu Yu put the basket full of petals on the ground and frowned, "This dress seems to have rubbed into dust." ”

Biyue smiled, "Miss, it's the first time I've seen you so nervous!" There is no dust on the clothes, and the pale pink color complements your skin tone the most. ”

"After all, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I must be nervous." Mu Yu looked down again to make sure that there was no dust on his body before nodding, "Let's go, let's go to the front yard." ”

"Rumor, why don't you come out to pick me up?" Before I saw him, I heard his voice first, and Mu Yi's hearty voice came from the corridor.

As soon as Mu Yu took a step, Mu Yi had already walked to the courtyard first, "Yu'er, do you remember your brother?" ”

Mu Yi is dressed in a light green official uniform, with tight waist and cuffs, and is very capable with black riding boots, her long hair is raised high but a little messy, which is enough to see how anxious Mu Yi is to see her little sister.

He had just returned from the barracks, and before he had time to rest, the first thing he did was to meet his sister, whom he hadn't seen for seven years, and even if he saw his mother in the front yard, he just hurriedly said hello.

"Big brother." Seeing the comer, Mu Yu blurted out. Although for her, the eldest brother in front of her was the first time she had met, but there was no sense of estrangement.

Mu Yi has been exposed to the wind and sun all year round, his complexion is a healthy wheat color, and his exposed teeth are even whiter, which makes his smile extraordinarily cheerful.

"When I left home to go to the barracks, you were still like a little bean ding, and you became a big girl in a blink of an eye." Mu Yi circled around her sister a few times, both happy and regretful.

"It's a pity that I, as an elder brother, can't protect you to grow up."

Shen Mei followed behind Mu Yi, taking a step slowly, his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, but his mouth said unforgivingly, "You kid, I raised you so big, do you only have a sister in your eyes?" ”

Mu Yi was very honest, and hurriedly quibbled, "Why is my mother the same as my sister?" Mother is protected by her father. ”

"Then the ballad is still protected by me!" Shen Mei smiled and glanced at his son, but he was not really jealous, the relationship between his son and daughter was harmonious, which was a good thing.

"Okay, okay, you go and rest first, and hurry up and meet your grandmother, she has been talking about you for a long time." Shen Mei gently patted Mu Yi's back, and couldn't help but ask. "Don't forget etiquette when you see your grandmother."

Although Mu Yi was not at home, he also knew that his grandmother was embarrassed by his mother and sister, so he didn't like his grandmother very much, if it wasn't for his mother's urging, he still wanted to take a good look at his sister.

"I see." While answering his mother, he gently touched Mu Yu's head, and said softly, "Sister, wait for me, my brother has brought you a lot of gadgets back, you must like it." ”

Shen Mei looked at Mu Yi, who was reluctant to leave, and couldn't help shaking his head, "Look at your brother, he still treats you as a seven-year-old child!" ”

Urged by her mother, Mu Yi didn't have time to catch up with Mu Yu when she arrived at the reception banquet.

The old lady sat on the main seat, smiling with a spring breeze on her face, "Yi'er, the military camp is hard, you have lost weight, this time when you come back, you must eat some good food to make up for it." ”

"Grandmother, I look thin, but my flesh is solid, and my body is very strong, you don't have to worry."

Mu Yu subconsciously glanced at Mu Liangxuan, only to see Mu Liangxuan pick up a piece of pig's foot and stuff it into his mouth, chewing Zhengxiang with a mouth full of oil.

Look, this is the consequence of grandma's raising, they are all fat pigs, and they still eat it.

"Skinny! No matter how real your meat is, it's thin, you see that Xuan'er can match the two of you. The old lady was happy, and she picked up the meat in front of her and was about to give it to Mu Yi.

This seat is according to seniority, Mu Yi and the old lady are far away, and they have to stand up and hold the bowl with both hands and accept the meat.

"Mother doesn't care about him, what does he like to eat, such a big person, where do you need to take care of it?" Mu Heyun looked at the old lady and said with concern.

The old lady was about to refute, but Mu Yi echoed, "Yes, grandmother, I will not go to the barracks when I return home now, and the days when I need you to take care of me are still ahead, not the time for this meal." ”

Mu Yu secretly looked at Mu Yi with an inquiring eye, when the eldest brother had just come back, and when his mother asked him to see the old lady first, it was obvious that he was unwilling, but when he came to the old lady's side, he completely put away his emotions, and her eldest brother was not as simple as it seemed.

Mu Yi shirked the relationship with the old lady, but turned her head and sandwiched a piece of braised pork for Mu Yu, "But you have to eat more, and with my brother taking care of you in the future, no one can bully you." ”

After that, his eyes glanced at Mu Liangxuan intentionally or unintentionally.

Mrs. Ruyang was a little overwhelmed when she saw the scene of father's kindness and filial piety, and this Mu Yi also sarcastically mocked them Xuan'er from time to time, and she couldn't hold her breath, "What Yi'er said, the rumor is the pearl of our Luanping Marquis Mansion, who dares to bully her." ”

"My brother and daughter-in-law are too sensitive, Yi'er didn't mean that." Shen Mei patted Mu Yi's hand privately and asked him not to say more, after all, it was Yi'er's reception banquet, and no one wanted to make a fuss.

Although Mu Yi didn't make a sound, the corners of her mouth were smiling, and her eyes wandered around, even the old lady sitting on the high seat did not fall.

His smile was quite a declaration of war.

Mu Yu also didn't expect that Mu Yi would give the second and third rooms a dismount as soon as he came back, and he was even more curious about his eldest brother.

At the reception banquet, everyone had their own thoughts, and few people really ate well, and Mu Yu couldn't eat more because of the cumbersome rules, so he prepared pastries early, and waited for the end of the reception banquet to fill his stomach.

"Rumor, can you eat enough with just pastries?" Mu Yi leaned sideways, sat on the edge of the window, her slender legs resting on the room, and her toes on the ground, so unscrupulous.

"Big brother?" Mu Yu was surprised, "You've been running around all day, why don't you take a good rest?" ”

"I'm used to the march every day." As he spoke, Mu Yi paced to the table and put down the oiled paper bag in his hand, "As soon as I looked at you, I knew that you didn't eat well just now, and look at what delicious food my brother brought you." ”

The smell of burnt incense can be smelled through the oiled paper, and with Mu Yi's movements, the aroma is even more tangy, and a golden roast chicken with an oily shine shows the whole picture.

"Taste it!" The brother and sister have nothing to be pretentious about, Mu Yi tore off the tight chicken leg and handed it to Mu Yu, "I found this shop a long time ago, every time Xiu Mu comes back, I have to buy one, I have always wanted to bring it to you to taste, but I didn't have a chance." ”

Mu Yu first rolled up his sleeve twice to prevent it from falling off, and took a big bite of the chicken thigh, the chicken skin was crispy, the chicken girl was tender, and the juice flowed in one bite, and the taste of the seasoning penetrated between the shredded meat, which was really a delicacy that could not be eaten in Luanping Houfu.

"Delicious! Much better than pastries. ”

Mu Yu likes it, Mu Yi is also happy, and carefully tears the whole roast chicken into small pieces, just enough for Mu Yu to eat in one bite, "I'm a big brother, I still understand you!" ”

Mu Yi's action of tearing the chicken gradually slowed down, and the smile on his face was gradually replaced by melancholy, "Now that you are fourteen years old, you will soon get married, and you don't need me as a big brother at that time, but what should I do?" ”

"What about Ji Lu, who said that Ji Lu must be married?" She still has six months to go, is it possible that she will marry someone she doesn't know in six months? "Besides, I'm married, and my eldest brother is still a big brother, how can I not need you."

"If my sister doesn't want to get married, my brother will support you." Mu Yi, who is an elder brother, wishes that Mu Yu couldn't get married, he didn't worry about handing over his sister to another man, "If you have someone you like, you must tell me first!" Brother will check for you. ”

Mu Yu licked his round fingertips with satisfaction, this roast chicken is really delicious, "Don't worry, I'll be the first to tell you." ”

"There's still a leg to this." Mu Yi made a gesture to stuff another chicken leg into her hand. As long as my sister likes it, everything good is hers.

"I can't eat it! This chicken leg is full! Mu Yu shook his head again and again, this ancient time was early, and it was uncomfortable to sleep if he ate too much.

Seeing that Mu Yu really didn't want to eat, Mu Yi shook his head and sighed, "You have eaten too little!" I'll have to feed you well in the future. ”

After that, he naturally grabbed the remaining chicken and put it to his mouth, although he had been in the military camp for a few years, but the elegance that this boy should have was not at all.

"Big brother, can you tell me about life in the barracks?" Mu Yi has been away for seven years, and she has a lot of questions about her eldest brother.

"Barracks? The days in the barracks were quite boring, and if you were unlucky, you had to go to the border gates, in short, to suffer. ”

"Since it's so bitter, why don't you go home early, big brother?" Mu Yu has been puzzled for a long time about this matter.

It stands to reason that when she went to the barracks, she was not necessarily sent to guard the border passes, and there were many people guarding the city, and she didn't believe that the Luanping Marquis Mansion couldn't do the trivial matter of leaving Mu Yi in the capital.

Mu Yi was slightly stunned, put down the chicken in his hand, and his face was serious, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" What did your father say to you? ”

"Not really." Looking at Mu Yu's reaction, she really guessed correctly, Mu Yi didn't want to go home, but didn't want to go home.
