Chapter Twenty-Three: Fame
Everyone thought for a while, and when they saw that the three people had no answer, they couldn't help but give up, and said, "Boss, tell me the answer." ”
Cao Shu smiled and announced the answer directly, "It's a coffin." Anyway, he guessed for a long time and didn't guess correctly.
After listening to it, everyone thought it was reasonable, and secretly blamed the person who asked the question for having too crooked head, but they couldn't help laughing.
After the Lantern Festival, the Cui Book House is a big seller!
Mu Bingyue's new work, after being brought home by some people who visited relatives and imitated relatives and friends, was even more widely circulated.
Some of the students who traveled to the book were attracted by the fantasy world in the book, and finally gathered in Huai County, the story in the book is not only attractive but also far-reaching, attracting students to finally gather funds to establish a church of friends, where all scholars can come and go freely, making tea and discussing the past and the present.
As a result, the library became famous, and the wonderful anthologies in the book were widely circulated.
It is said that knowledge changes fate, Mu Bingyue is now completely convinced, she only needs to use her pen at home now, and the silver will come like water, and in the end she will earn more than the textile factory at home.
"Miss...... Miss ......", Mu Bingyue was struggling to write, when she heard Shen Xue calling her dissatisfied, she didn't stop writing, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Who knew that Shen Xue was even more dissatisfied when she heard this, and raised her voice and said, "Miss, are you listening to the slave?"
"You say." Mu Bingyue still hasn't stopped writing.
Shen Xue said weakly: "The slave maid said that the prince and the young lady of the Wei family are going to get married."
"Which one?" Mu Bingyue asked casually.
When Shen Xue heard this, it was like a volcanic eruption, and she stomped her feet vigorously and said, "Ah, I'm so angry!"
Outside the house, Li'er came in with tea and saw Shen Xue's appearance, and raised her eyebrows obliquely, "It's already time, and you still have a child's heart, I think you are going back more and more as you live." ”
When Shen Xue heard this, her angry eyes only breathed fire, "Dead girl, you are bold, dare to teach your sister and me a lesson." ”
Li'er listened, put down the tea, and said slowly: "It's just that I was born two years earlier than me, and I hold my sister's shelf every day, and the young lady is more mature than you."
Shen Xue raised her chin angrily, and her beautiful face was full of pride: "I was born two years early, and I am also your sister, you will never be able to move back in this game."
Li'er didn't argue with her, picked up the paper that Mu Bingyue had written, took the brush and began to copy, fortunately, Li'er didn't worship Mu Bingyue, who only had half a bucket of water, as a teacher, under the teaching of Li, wrote a beautiful hairpin Xiaokai, with her help, Mu Bingyue saved a lot of time.
Shen Xue saw that Li'er was not replying, sat down proudly, reached out to tease the snow fox in the cage on the flower table, and saw that the snow fox still ignored her, and stopped angrily, "Little conscienceless, sister, I serve you every day, but you ignore people every day." ”
After speaking, seeing that Mu Bingyue didn't pay attention to her, she coaxed her angrily: "Just like someone, they are all cold-blooded animals."
Mu Bingyue saw Shen Xue say it, and turned to herself, she couldn't help but laugh, looked at Shen Xue and said, "Okay, where did I provoke you again."
Li'er grinned, "When someone's sweetheart marries, they are naturally angry and want to find someone to vent their anger." ”
When Shen Xue heard this, her apricot eyes widened, "Which one...... Which one said, he is a sweetheart. ”
Li'er gloated: "I'm angry, look, it's not good to say anything."
Shen Xue choked angrily and hurriedly moved the rescuers, "Miss, look at Li'er." ”
Mu Bingyue swept the two of them, and said idly: "If Xiaoxue likes Wang Gongzi, I will ask my mother to entrust someone to say, if the Wang family does not agree, I will make his family affairs yellow, so that no one can rob you."
Shen Xue was really angry this time, pointed at the two of them, but couldn't say a whole word for a long time.
Li Shi entered the house and saw it, knowing that the three of them were arguing again, and hurriedly said: "Come on, try this almond cake, it has just been done." After speaking, Shen Xue, who was in a hurry, sat down first.
Shen Xue reluctantly sat down, took a vicious bite, and took another piece to feed the snow fox in the cage.
The snow fox didn't move, Shen Xue saw it, and said angrily: "I don't recognize people until now, I'll starve to death."
Li Shi looked at Shen Xue and Xue Fox and was angry, smiled helplessly, and brought another plate to Mu Bingyue and the others.
Seeing this, Li'er quickly got up and took it, and sat down when she saw Li sitting.
Li touched Mu Bingyue's tea, and couldn't help frowning, "Why does Yue'er drink herbal tea again, your physique is already cold, and you hurt your body carefully." ”
Mu Bingyue hurriedly said: "It's my daughter who is greedy for a while."
It's a good thing for her daughter to know books and etiquette, but Li always feels that her daughter is becoming more and more estranged from her, thinking that maybe her daughter has grown up and is no longer attached to her mother.
Seeing Li's trance, Li'er asked, "Madame, but the master has sent a letter."
Li Shi came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "Future letter, last time I said that I would come back at the end of the year, and it will only be a few days, and I shouldn't have come to the letter if nothing has changed."
"Oh." Li'er answered.
Mu Bingyue put down her pen and said, "Mother, my daughter has something I want to ask my mother to answer."
Li looked back at his daughter lovingly, "What's the matter?"
"Li'er has come to our house since she came to our house, and she is very close to her daughter, and her surname is Mu, so why don't you be a companion with her daughter and follow her father's name, so that her father and mother are also honored by many people."
Li smiled: "Mother still thought it was something, Mother had long regarded Li'er as a daughter."
When she heard this, she hurriedly stood up, "This...... How does this work?"
Mu Bingyue said excitedly: "What? Don't you want to?"
Li'er panicked even more and shook her hand.
Mu Bingyue saw it and said undoubtedly: "That's okay, just when Dad comes back, let's also have a lively table." Shen Xue is the only daughter of the Shen family, although she was kicked out by her family, she is also the blood of the Shen family, and this era pays great attention to blood, so Mu Bingyue did not pull Shen Xue this time.
Li'er is not clever enough to speak, and she can't find the words, so she stared at Mu Bingyue dryly.
Shen Xue laughed on the side, "It's really a brine tofu ~ one thing drops one thing!" ”
The matter ended with the four of them joking in a few words.
This year, on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Mu Chengjie finally came back, the whole person was lean, his skin was also dark, but his eyes were bright.
The family has been separated for nearly nine years, and this is the real reunion, the Li family is inevitably sentimental, and the family is busy persuading, and it takes a while to break into tears and laugh, and everyone sits down and writes about homely things.
After talking for a while, Mu Chengjie looked at his well-behaved daughter standing beside Li, stretched out his arms and said, "Yue'er, I miss my father, come and let my father hug me."
Mu Bingyue looked at his posture and hurriedly pushed Li'er out to be a shield, "Dad, who do you think this is?"
Mu Chengjie reluctantly withdrew his hand, looked at Li'er according to his words, and saw that his eyebrows were clear and beautiful, and he stood next to Shen Xue in a proper manner.
Seeing Mu Chengjie looking at him, Li'er was not afraid, and slowly saluted him.
Mu Chengjie said: "But the pity mentioned in the letter? ”
Li smiled and told Mu Chengjie in detail about what Mu Bingyue proposed.
After listening to this, Mu Chengjie looked at Mu Bingyue with a smile, "It's good that Yue'er likes it, I'm really ashamed of you two for my father all these years." ”
Mu Bingyue smiled and bowed, "Thank you, father." ”
Mu Chengjie shook his head helplessly, secretly sighing that his daughter was not close to him, and his face was lost by the vicissitudes of the wind and sand.
When Li saw it, he knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly poured him a cup of tea and asked him about his situation in the barracks.
Mu Chengjie said briefly, and asked about the situation at home.
Because it was also mentioned in the letter, Li only briefly talked about the family's business.
Mu Chengjie hurried for days, his face could not hide his tiredness, Mu Bingyue and the others saw it, found an excuse and went back to the house.
Because of Mu Chengjie's cold attitude, although he agreed to accept Li'er as a righteous daughter, he didn't pay much attention, Mu Bingyue was afraid that Li'er would be sad, so she couldn't help but look at it secretly, and only relieved her heart when she saw that Li'er was still as usual.
After Li waited for Mu Chengjie to freshen up, he continued to say something, and then carefully looked at his expression, she first mentioned that the family's business was her daughter's idea, but her husband didn't react much, this would be the two of them left, she carefully brought up her daughter's matter, and secretly paid attention to his reaction.
Mu Chengjie looked at the environment around the house, and when he heard his wife mention his daughter, he said proudly: "It seems that my father's business mind has not been passed on to me, and it has been passed on to his granddaughter." Alas, the Mu family's business fell into my hands, and I always felt ashamed. Now that he has been revived by his daughter, his father can smile if he learns about it underground. ”
When Li heard Mu Chengjie say this, he also felt reasonable, so he put the matter down.
Li Tong made dinner and brought it to the hall with Shen Xue, and Li'er also stepped forward to help, because it was almost the end of the year, and those Xiu Niang were all at home, and there were only six of them left in the family.
After Mu Chengjie rested, he brought Li to the table, and when he saw a table of dishes with good color and fragrance, he couldn't help but move his index finger, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down and start eating.
After a while, Mu Chengjie saw that his daughter only ate vegetarian dishes, although his wife mentioned it to him in the letter, but Mu Chengjie looked at his daughter's bloodless face, how could he not feel distressed, and he sandwiched a piece of chicken leg and wanted to send it to Mu Bingyue.
Mu Bingyue saw the chopsticks and raised her eyebrows, "Mother......"
Li smiled and pulled her husband's hand back, "Husband, it's harder to let Yue'er eat a piece of meat than to let that snow fox eat a ginseng." ”
Mu Chengjie retracted his hand, "How can you grow up without eating meat, Dad is still looking forward to Yue'er growing up soon!"
Mu Bingyue shook her head and insisted, Mu Chengjie had no choice but to stop depressed.
Mu Yue paid attention to Li'er's expression was a little gloomy, and hurriedly said: "Father can't patronize Yue'er now, be careful that Li'er is jealous." ”
Li'er shook her hand, "Miss made fun of me again, and Li'er just remembered the past." ”
Mu Bingyue knew that Li'er's biological parents were extremely patriarchal, and when she saw her gloomy expression, she didn't make fun of her, so she hurriedly sandwiched a chopstick dish for her, and also a dish for Shen Xue.
Mu Chengjie was very relieved to see that his daughter was calm and thoughtful, and he couldn't help but drink more wine in a good mood, and after a while, he was a little drunk, and Li hurriedly helped him back to the house.
Although Mu Bingyue stayed up late the next day, because Mu Chengjie had just come home, it was not good to stay in bed, so she got up early in the morning and waited for Mu Chengjie to get up in the hall with everyone.
Mu Chengjie overslept because he drank wine yesterday, and it took him half a day to get up, and he was waiting for him to eat, so he hurriedly packed up and went to the hall.
"It's been a long time since I've slept so peacefully, so I've been waiting for a long time." After Mu Chengjie sat down, he hurriedly asked everyone to sit down, the frontier was unstable, although he was just an accountkeeper, he didn't need to practice, but he still had to get up early.
