The guests gasped when they looked at the open gifts, and they all looked at Yu Zimei without squeaking.

Sensing the strangeness of everyone, James asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Mu Yi looked at the Western clock brought by James, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Gardenia!" Mu Shaoqing stepped forward and scolded in a low voice, but he didn't say anything else.

Mu Wenqin, who was closest to Yu Zimei, sank his face, put the wine glass on the table with a "click", and scolded coldly, "What's the matter with you girl!" How can you give this thing to your grandmother on her 80th birthday! What kind of heart are you? It's nonsense! ”

Send the bell.

Finale.

James doesn't understand, Mu Yi does.

She originally prepared this Western clock and didn't say that it was given to Yu Zimei on her birthday, who knew that it would be like this, and she couldn't argue for a while.

"Am I doing something wrong?" Although James didn't understand the moral of it, he also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, especially Mu Wenqin's words, he felt as if something was wrong with the gift he brought.

"Nope." Mu Yi shook his head. "It's none of your business."

After all, he doesn't understand, and he is also well-intentioned, and James is no wonder about this. She couldn't put the blame on James.

"That's good." James was a little relieved and said to Yu Zimei, "When I was studying in London before, Zhi kept asking me to take her to Switzerland, saying that this Western clock is special to you. This thing was shipped from Switzerland, and it was also in a hurry, but fortunately there were no problems. ”

No one else knows, but Yu Zimei knows.

She stepped forward, walked to the Western clock, stretched out her vicissitudes of life, gently stroked the Western clock, touched every inch, she looked at Mu Yi with tears and a smile, "Grandma's good girl, it's not easy, right?" ”

Mu Yan smiled and shook his head, "Grandma likes it." ”

"Good!" Yu Zimei raised her hand and touched Mu Yan's face, then took her in her arms and gently touched her little head.

This makes everyone scratch their heads, after all, on this birthday, someone gives such an obscure gift, and no one can stand it.

Could it be that Mrs. Mu's bearing is not ordinary, or that Mrs. Mu has spoiled Mu Yu to this extent, or is it like that James said, this gift is really special to Mrs. Mu?

Everyone was at a loss.

But I couldn't figure out the situation, and the situation was special, and everyone didn't dare to respond to anything at will, so they had to remain silent and look at a few people.

"Oh! That's right! It was James who broke the deadlock, with a look of chagrin, turned around, took a jewelry box from another person behind him, and then opened it to Yu Zimei, and stepped forward with both hands, "This is the congratulatory gift that my brother asked me to prepare for the old lady." ”

Everyone's eyes looked over.

It's okay not to look at it, but this time, it's another gasp.

I saw that in the blue gift box, there was a pigeon's blood ruby, shining in the sun.

"This ......" Yu Zimei looked at the ruby the size of a pigeon's egg, and hesitated for a while.

It's not that the family doesn't have a collection of gems like jadeite and emerald, but a pigeon's blood ruby of this size is too precious to give away on one of her birthday gifts.

What's more, what James also said just now was that this gem was brought by his earl's brother.

I don't know what it means to send it out, and Yu Zimei didn't dare to accept it at will.

Seeing Yu Zimei's hesitation, James explained, "This gem was auctioned by my brother at an auction and was about to be given to Zhi. However, there is one thing I hope Mrs. Mu will not mind, and that is ...... Originally, when I came to Lingcheng, I didn't know that these two days were the old lady's birthday, so I temporarily changed this ruby as a gift. Be careful, and I hope you don't dislike it. Otherwise, I will come to the porcelain country again and make up the congratulatory gift in person. ”

Then he turned his head to look at Mu Yi, "As for Zhi's gift, you don't care about it, do you?" ”

As soon as everyone heard this, this earl gave such a big deal as soon as he made a move, was he ready to pursue Mu Yi?

Doesn't that mean that the Mu family may really have a countess in the future?

Everyone secretly marveled at themselves in their hearts.

After Yu Zimei hesitated for a while, she took the gift box and made a gesture to James, "Let you and the earl bother." Come on, please take a seat. ”

Seeing Yu Zimei accept it, James was also relieved.

During this time, I also understood some Chinese etiquette, and I also humbly made a gesture of please, "Old lady, please first." ”

Yu Zimei was a little surprised, turned her head to look at Mu Yi, and saw her look of being a child, so she didn't shirk anymore and walked forward.

First, she is an elder and the lord; secondly, although his brother was an earl, he still did not have a title; Yu Zimei goes first, and she still deserves it.

Although there are new products for the birthday banquet prepared, most of them are still prepared according to the traditional dishes.

The other guests were used to eating, but James was starting to be curious again.

always asked Mu Yi in a whisper, so that Mu Yi finally sat next to James, while explaining to him how to cook this dish and the meaning of this dish.

James nodded in surprise as he paused.

He thought that coming to the Porcelain Mausoleum City was the most meaningful trip in his life.

It's night.

After the guests have dispersed.

left the Mu family behind.

Because Mu Wenxi was still arranging follow-up matters, Song Jinglin was also sitting in the hall waiting for her.

Song Jinglin is the son-in-law of the Mu family, and he can be regarded as his own person.

Mu Wenqin had no intention of leaving, and sat on the newly added chair, no one spoke to him, so he drank tea by himself.

When Mu Wenxi was almost busy, Yu Zimei beckoned over, and then sent her a big red envelope, "You have worked hard during this time." ”

Ordinary people usually give out red envelopes when they pay homage to their birthdays, but in the Mu family, they basically give red envelopes at night when they are full of guests.

Mu Wenxi took it, "What did my mother say, isn't this what I should have said!" ”

Yu Zimei smiled and patted her hands.

Speaking of which, Mu Wenxi can be regarded as a good daughter, except for the fact that the Song family and the Mu family had a very stiff quarrel some time ago, everything else is considered for the Mu family, in fact, it was quite difficult for her to be caught in the middle before.

Yu Zimei looked at Song Jinglin, also beckoned to him, handed him a red envelope, and said seriously, "I have always been worried about handing over Wenxi to you, and later you also proved that it is worth it to be with you, yes." Some time ago there was some unpleasantness, and when it passed, it will pass, and you guys live a good life. ”

"Yes, Mother." Song Jinglin took the red envelope and bowed respectfully.

"Wen Qin." Yu Zimei took out another red envelope and shouted.

Mu Wenqin immediately stood up and walked towards Yu Zimei, "Mother." ”

Yu Zimei handed him the red envelope, opened her mouth, and finally closed it again, just patted his hand and said nothing.

Mu Wenqin took it, pinched the red envelope, and then returned to his seat.

"Shao Qing, Shao Li." Yu Zimei took out the last two red envelopes, looked at Mu Yi, and said with a smile, "The one from Nan Nan was given to you earlier!" ”

Hearing this, Mu Yi pretended to be at a loss, "Is there one?" Where? Didn't you? ”

Then he deliberately pouted and dissatisfied, "Grandma, you can't be partial, everyone has it, so don't give it to me!" ”

Mu Shaoli got up and went over to take the red envelope, took the red envelope, and knocked it on Mu Yi's forehead, "Talk to grandma well." ”

Mu Yi pursed his lips, stuck out his tongue at Mu Shaoli, and coquettishly coquetted with Yu Zimei, "Grandma, look at him!" ”

"Your little sister said a joke, what are you doing beating her!" Yu Zimei glared at Mu Shaoli with disgust, handed the red envelope to Mu Shaoqing, and then said to Mu Yi with a smile, "Okay!" Grandma Ming'er will give you the biggest red envelope again. ”

Mu Yi smiled and said crisply: "Thank you, grandma!" ”

"Grandma, don't get used to her like that. It's all spoiled. Mu Shaoqing shook his head helplessly.

"Why shouldn't you give it? It should be given, not only to give more, but also to give more! Yu Zimei made a straight face, "You guys, you don't care about me!" ”

Hearing this, the two brothers of the Mu family have become accustomed to it, even Song Jinglin already feels that this is the norm, and the only one with big mood swings is Mu Wenqin.

He pinched the red envelope and pinched the shell of the red envelope to change its shape.

"Grandma, it's not been a day or two since you've been partial to your little sister, why do you have to say that we don't have a little sister who cares about you." Mu Shaoli said.

Hearing this, Yu Zimei snorted and glared at Mu Shaoli, "That Western clock." ”

When it came to Western clocks, several people's faces changed.

"Grandma, this matter is not the responsibility of the little sister. I think ......" Mu Shaoli, who was still burying Mu Yu, immediately began to protect her.

"What do you think I'm going to say?" Yu Zimei asked with a smile, looking at Mu Shaoli's puzzled gaze, she asked angrily: "That Western clock, don't you anyone look at the familiar one?" ”

When several people heard this, they were puzzled, and they all looked at the Western clock.

After a while, Mu Wenxi asked hesitantly, "Is this...... Isn't it the same as the broken Western clock in my mother's room? ”

Hearing Mu Wenxi say it, Yu Zimei's face looked much better, and she nodded with a smile, "That's right!" ”

"That Western clock, it's your grandfather'......" paused, and then looked at Mu Wenxi and Mu Wenqin, "Your father bought it for me when he was alive." ”

"At that time, your grandfather took several trains to buy this Western clock for me." When she said this, Yu Zimei's expression and eyes were full of tenderness, staring at the Western clock, as if staring at the person she loved most in her heart.

"And I heard that this shop that sells this Western clock has only one kind of clock, and it will not be the same again. Since the Western clock was broken, there has been no opportunity to go to Switzerland to find this shop, but in the country to find a lot of people to repair, but it is not good. ”

Yu Zimei sighed, "I thought that I, when I was in the ground, would go to see the old man with this shabby Western clock." ”

"Mother." Mu Wenxi spoke up, as if complaining reproachfully, "What are you doing on this good day?" ”

Yu Zimei smiled disappreciatively and waved her hand, "People, you're old, you're living about the same age at this age, and you don't have so many taboos." Anyway, I'm my age, and I'm getting older. Now, I'm not relieved of you. When you are all married and settled, I will have no regrets to worry about. ”

"Grandma! You are not allowed to say that! The three of us brothers and sisters haven't settled down yet, so you have a lot to worry about! Mu Yi pretended to be angry and glared at Yu Zimei.

"Good, good. Grandma doesn't say, grandma doesn't say. Yu Zimei said three good words in a row, leaned on Mu Yi, and nodded with a smile.

"By the way, Nannan, how did you convince the store manager to make another identical one?" Yu Zimei was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that she didn't know which store she bought this clock from, although she could find it, but she didn't have the energy.

Even if I find it, I can at most send it over to repair it, and then make the same ......

"No, I showed the master in the store a photo of my grandmother, and when the master saw it, this lady was dignified and elegant, and immediately said, no problem!"

"You're still joking about grandma, aren't you?" Yu Zimei glared at Mu Yi with disgust.

"Talk to grandma!" Mu Shaoqing reprimanded in a low voice.

"Hehe...... Mu Yi smirked twice, stuck out his tongue and confessed: "I didn't do anything, but I didn't say that I traveled to Europe with my friends during the holiday last year?" In fact, it was in Switzerland that I worked as a child worker in this shop for two months. The old master saw that I was still capable, so he allowed me. ”

"Originally, I wanted to wait until I returned to China and ask someone to take a photo and mail it over. As a result, the master said that every clock made in the store has a base map on file. I just had to tell the master the code, and the master found it and made another one. However, because the previous master's order had not been completed, he did not let him do it in a hurry. ”

Mu Yi thought about what happened today, and it was necessary to explain, "At that time, James went with me, and the contact information written was James's house, maybe after the master did it later, he called the school and didn't find me, so he found James." ”

"Because James came to Lingcheng this time for a mission, the ancestors came, and the Western Bell and ......" Mu Yi paused, "The gift was personally escorted by a trusted subordinate." He didn't know the customs and taboos of our China, he just thought that I had prepared a surprise for you, and he thought that you would be happier to send it on your birthday, so that's why he did this. ”

"Grandma, James is actually a good friend, I hope you don't get mad at him." Mu Yi looked at Yu Zimei carefully, her little face was hope and caution.

"Countries are different, cultures are different, grandma knows. What's more, grandma is at this age, and life and death are also seen, it is a matter of time and time, and these are not taboo. Yu Zimei stretched out her hand, waited for Mu Yi to step forward, and patted her hand, "It can be seen that he is a sincere child." ”

Speaking of this, Yu Zimei suddenly remembered, "By the way, Nannan, will that child return to China tomorrow?" ”

Mu Yi nodded.

"Then you wait a while, go to the storeroom, and choose a few ......" Yu Zimei thought about it carefully, "It seems that there is a Tang Sancai collected by your grandfather when he was alive in the warehouse, you asked someone to take it out, put it up, and give it to the earl, and you should thank him for taking care of you and his gift in the past two years." ”

When my grandfather was alive, he collected a lot of things.

But since Grandpa's accident, no matter what happened, Grandma didn't let anyone touch those things, but now it's ......

"Grandma'......"

"Alas! Why is this look. Yu Zimei sighed and said softly, "These things are not brought in life or death, and they are kept, just to have a thought." Now, I don't have many years to think about it, let alone ...... There is also a Western clock that I brought back to my grandmother. With this, it's better than anything else! ”

Originally, I wanted to bring back this Western clock to make Yu Zimei happy, but now the situation is ......

"Okay, Xiao Gardenia, your grandmother will spoil you when she comes. It's just Tang Sancai, and it's not a particularly tight thing. What's more, Lord Earl, but gave the pigeon blood ruby, although our Mu family is not as noble as the royal family, but in the end, one or two gifts can still be obtained. You, don't say it again, otherwise your grandmother will be even more distressed. ”

Mu Wenqin's words, although he was persuading Mu Yan, had a different flavor in and out of his words.

Mu Yi looked over suspiciously, Mu Shaoqing's face was also a little stiff, and Mu Shaoli's face immediately sank.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

In the end, Yu Zimei said, "Your uncle, you are jealous!" "Eased the atmosphere.

"By the way, there's one thing that Grandma wants to discuss with you." Yu Zimei looked at the three brothers and sisters of the Mu family.

After a pause, he continued, "Your uncle has also been back for a few days, and recently, your uncle has nothing important to do in Shanghai, so you can stay for a while, if not, let your uncle move back to live?" ”

Yu Zimei's question, Mu Yi sounded a little strange.

Although Mu Wenqin is not very familiar with her, he is Yu Zimei's eldest son, and their uncle, even if he is not in Lingcheng all the year round, it is normal for him to come back and live at home.

Even Mu Wenxi was puzzled, but she could see that Yu Zimei was asking for the ideas of Mu Yu's three siblings, so she stopped talking.

Only Song Jinglin's face was as usual, he reached out to hold Mu Wenxi's hand, and also signaled her not to speak.

"What grandma said, uncle is an elder, and living at home should be." Mu Shaoqing replied.

Mu Yan's thoughts were the same as Mu Shaoqing's, she just wanted to speak, but when she caught a glimpse of Mu Shaoli, whose face was very dark, she swallowed back the words when they came to her mouth.

She looked at Mu Shaoli, who had a gloomy face, then at Mu Wenqin, who was expressionless, and then at Yu Zimei, who had a soft face, and always felt that since the uncle came back, the atmosphere in the house was very strange.

"Since you have nothing to do with each other, then this matter is settled." Yu Zimei said stubbornly, and then glanced at the sky outside, "It's too late today, and the people at home are also tired, let them rest, and let them clean the room tomorrow and move back." ”

"Yes, Mother." Mu Wenqin returned.

"Okay, everyone is busy and tired today, let's go back and rest!" Yu Zimei stretched out her hand towards Aunt Gui Xin, and she helped herself to stand up, seeing everyone standing up, she waved her hand, "You don't need to send me back to the house, you can do it yourself!" ”

With that, he walked inside.

Leave a few people, you look at me, I look at you.

The first to speak was Song Jinglin, who took Mu Wenxi and left first.

Mu Wenqin also took advantage of these words and left.

Mu Yi's three siblings got up and they went to the door.

After sending Song Jinglin and them away, Mu Shaoli didn't care about Mu Shaoqing and Mu Yi, turned around and entered the courtyard.

made Mu Yi and Mu Shaoqing look at each other.

"Big brother, second brother, he ......" Mu Yi looked at Mu Shaoli's back and disappeared from sight in three or two seconds, and asked.

Mu Shaoqing was also a little dazed, but in order to appease Mu Yi, he didn't show anything special, just patted her shoulder, "It's okay, I'll take a look." ”

Back in the boudoir, Qingge had already prepared hot water, and Mu Yi took a hot bath beautifully.

She lay on the chaise longue, drank a cup of soothing tea, and went limp for a while.

"Miss, why don't you go into the house and rest? You're busy today, too, so don't fall asleep here for a while. Qingge asked while asking someone to take away Mu Yan's changed clothes and wash them.

"Yes." Mu Yi answered lazily and turned his body sideways, "By the way, Qingge, have you paid attention today, did Wei Qing send someone to give gifts?" ”

"Yes, Miss." Qingge has been waiting next to the housekeeper except to pick up James today, and he knew that Mu Yi would definitely want to know in the future, so he still asked.

Hearing that Wei Qing had sent a congratulatory gift, the corners of Mu Yi's mouth rose slightly, "What did he give?" ”

"Some good old ginseng deer antler velvet, and a necklace!" Qing Ge thought back, thinking of the set of jewelry, "That necklace looks like it should be emerald!" ”

Qingge was quite excited, but Mu Yi did freeze his smile.

Lowered his eyes to hide the loss in his eyes, "Okay, I know, you go and rest." ”

Obviously perceiving the change in Mu Yi's mood, Qingge called out suspiciously: "Miss? ”

"Go ahead, you've had a busy day today." Seeing her looking at herself worriedly, Mu Yi said, "Don't worry, I'm not sleeping here, I'll go to bed by myself in a while." ”

"But......" Qingge was a little relieved.

This is obviously in a good mood just now, why is it not so happy all of a sudden?

"That's it! Go for it! Mu Yi waved his hand.

After the green pigeon left, Mu Yi thought for a while and let out a long sigh.

How to say it, the key is not what Weiqing sends, but what he sends.

It's a contradiction, but the starting point is different.

She thought, after all, she is the one who will be brought home in the future, although she has not been officially introduced now, but Mu Yi feels that even if she doesn't come to the table, she should still behave it! So at least everyone will put it on the table in the future, and everyone will think back, oh, he took it very seriously at that time, no wonder......

At least I'll feel better!

Mu Yi was alone and thinking nonsense, and he didn't know what Wei Qing thought.

Moreover, she felt that Wei Qing was not like such a person who couldn't do things, he had always arranged things very well, and she didn't know what he meant this time.

Mu Yi thought about it, tossed and turned on the chaise longue, and finally tossed himself on the bed, tossing and turning again.

Outskirts.

Mommofuku kept pacing back and forth in the courtyard with his hands clenched into fists.

His face was full of anxiety and worry, like an ant on a hot pot.

It wasn't until a long time later that the door of the courtyard was pushed open.

At this time, Momofuku happened to have his back to the door, and when he heard it, he turned around suddenly, saw Wei Qing coming in from outside, stepped forward, looked up and down for a while, and didn't see any injuries, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he hurriedly crossed Weiqing, walked to the door, looked out the door, made sure that there was no one, and then closed the door.

By the time he had closed the deadbolt and turned around, Wei Qing had already walked into the house.

Baifu hurriedly raised his feet to catch up, and asked nervously, "How is it, second master?" ”

Wei Qing tore off the square towel covering his face, frowned deeply, and looked solemn.

This look, in Momofuku's eyes, was like something big had happened, "Didn't get it?" ”

Weiqing shook his head.

"What then?" Baifu's face also became solemn, that thing, I have been in Lingcheng for two years, and I have searched for the places I should be looking for, but I haven't found it.

Now there is only such a place left, if you haven't found it, then how can you explain it to your hometown.

Wei Qing pinched the square scarf, pondered for a moment, and lifted his thin lips, "I got it." ”

Hearing this, Baifu was stunned, then breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Second Master, you did it on purpose!" I don't take you to gasp like that! ”

The man didn't seem to feel the slightest joy of Momofuku, but his eyebrows were still tightly locked.

Momofuku's smile froze on his face, and after a few seconds, he smiled, "Discovered?" ”

Wei Qing pursed his lips and said nothing, and his tightly locked eyebrows were tightly wrinkled into the shape of "Chuan".

He looked like this, but he was in a hurry to die of Baifu, "What's the matter, second master, what do you say!" ”

After a long silence, Wei Qing let out a long sigh.

After a while, he slowly spoke, "Do you remember what Mu Yi has been asking Le Chengshan to help investigate?" ”

Baifu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and nodded, "I remember that she said in the Qing Mansion before that it was for the truth about her parents' unexpected deaths." ”

"Seems like this." Baifu was not particularly sure, after all, he had only listened to it once, and he didn't pay much attention to Mu Yi at that time, so he didn't remember it very carefully.

He paused for a moment, suddenly thought of a possibility, and then looked at Wei Qing with wide eyes, "Could it be ...... Second master, have you found it? ”

Celestial Bow of the Eye.

"Isn't that good? It just so happens that Miss Mu has been looking for so long, if you tell her the truth, she can't do it but she has been thinking about it in her heart, will she thank the second master? Maybe, isn't it more in line with the second master's mind to make an excited promise? ”

Momofuku thought it was a big deal, and he was a little depressed at Wei Qing's deliberate expression today, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was specifically picking on and bullying him!

Whether it is getting what you want, or finding out the truth that Miss Mu wants, it can be said to be an unexpected joy and icing on the cake. "How nice!"

"Do you know who killed her parents?" Wei Qing raised his eyes and looked at Momofuku.

His stunned face and hesitant look were reflected in his amber eyes, "Second Master laughed at me again, I'...... How will you know. ”

"It is written in the dossier that the real murderer behind the scenes - Mu Wenqin."

Hearing this, Momofuku was so shocked that his mouth grew, "You...... You mean...... Mu Yi just came back two days ago...... Target...... Her uncle? ”
