Mu Ying thought that she would have to embroider again, but Liu Shi didn't let her continue, and asked her to rest.

In the afternoon, Mu Ying went to the shop, there were a lot of people coming, and she was busy for three hours before she returned home before it was dark.

In the evening, Liu made a plate of mapo tofu, put a lot of shredded pork, and finely chopped green bamboo shoots, stewed very deliciously, as well as the leftover cakes and chicken legs at noon, Mu Ying was a little hungry, and after a while, she ate two large bowls of rice, ate some cakes, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and sent rice to the man.

Pei Jingxing was also extremely hungry at this time, but he had no choice if he didn't deliver food for a long time. Seeing Mu Ying coming, he moved to the table with a stick and ate, Mu Ying came back and picked up the dishes and chopsticks, brushed and washed, cleaned his hands, and made two more paintings, a picture of a bamboo forest in the breeze, and a picture of begonia flowers.

It was later than usual, and she washed up and went to sleep on her own. The next day, Mu Ying was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, Pei Jingxing watched, and saw that she was faster and faster, with great strength, and a vigorous and agile posture.

After Mu Ying finished practicing, Liu's had already cooked rice, it was three bowls of braised pork rice, the meat slices were cut to a moderate thickness, the oil was bright and dark red, and the green bamboo shoots, fungus and cabbage were put together, eating salty and sweet, Mu Ying ate two big bowls in one go, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and sent rice to the man.

Pei Jingxing ate two bowls in a row, but he felt that it was not enough, but he had already bottomed out, and he put down his chopsticks with some regret.

Mu Ying came back and saw that Pei Jingxing had maintained a posture and did not move, his face was expressionless, obviously a little bored.

She was helpless, but she also understood that if she was also injured, had difficulty moving, and was trapped in the house and couldn't get out, I was afraid it would be boring, and he was quite calm.

I have nothing to do now, so I picked up the flute and played a song, the right to relieve his boredom, this time she played a folk tune, lively and beautiful, but with the elegance of court music, which made people feel brisk when they listened to it, Pei Jingxing had a little spirit, and felt less stuffy, he naturally wanted to listen to such a natural sound every day, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, Mu Ying had work to do every day, and it was impossible for him to listen to it at any time, Pei Jingxing finally understood why when he asked who the piper was, Mu Ying always didn't answer.

Pei Jingxing also knew that he was a little annoying, he was in trouble now and sent people under the fence, but he asked for more.

Mu Ying said with a smile

"If I have leisure, I will play a song for you, but it can't be every day" Pei Jingxing said with difficulty

"Thank you" breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but fortunately Mu Ying didn't blame him. Mu Ying picked up the dishes and chopsticks, brushed them, and went to the field.

In the Yihong Mansion in the capital, a handsome middle-aged man wearing a gray-blue brocade robe came in, and the old bustard stepped forward to receive him warmly, this is a rare guest, it is Wu Yong, the head of the Wu family, and the current An Guogong, she has seen it in the crowd once, and she definitely did not admit it.

No one knows that the old bustard had the power to remember when he was young, but now he is old, but it is not bad. I heard that he has never set foot in the land of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and today, this is the sun coming out in the west?

"The master is here to be served, or to listen to music and watch dance," the old bustard said tentatively.

"I'll pay 10,000 taels to call your Suxin and Begonia girls here," Wu Yong said lightly.

"Whether you want to listen to music or watch dance, I want them to prepare," the bustard added

"No need, this is their selling fee" Wu Yong smiled.

"It's... Su Xin and the begonia girl are clear, don't sell their bodies" The old bustard stiffened for a moment, and his voice was a little unnatural, this one is probably prepared, not a person in the party, and should be unfamiliar with this place, how could he name the girl without being introduced, she must have sent someone to inquire early in the morning, she had already heard that the Wu family and the Weiyuan Hou family had a disagreement, and the defeat of the Weiyuan Hou family was inseparable from the Wu family.

Now it seems that this rumor is true nine times out of ten, no matter what, this matter must not come true, firstly, because of the grace of Wei Yuanhou back then, and secondly, this is also the meaning of the saint.

"Twenty thousand taels" Wu Yong took out another silver ticket, the old bustard was silent, and lowered his head to think about countermeasures.

"Thirty thousand taels" Wu Yong raised the price again... The old bustard had no choice but to say

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that they were sick yesterday, and they couldn't get up, and they were afraid that they would be sick and angry, and they really couldn't serve." Wu Yong didn't force it

"Then I'll come back tomorrow"

"Then the master walks slowly" The old bustard breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time his heart rose again, just hoping that this master would not really come every day.

Mu Ying finished her work and came back from the field to find that her uncle Liu Mingyuan had come. She remembered that half a month had passed, and her uncle should indeed come.

Before she was fourteen years old, her uncle lived at home almost every day, helping her and her mother, and he was always worried about them.

It wasn't until she was fourteen years old, when she was able to do all kinds of work, that her uncle moved out and came to visit her once a month.

Liu Mingyuan saw Mu Ying and smiled

"Has A-Ying grown taller" Mu Ying ignored him, his height was more than seven feet, and he was not short among men, he actually wanted to make himself taller, he was afraid that he would not be able to get married.

Liu also glared at Liu Mingyuan. Mu Ying cleaned up and went to the shop, there were not many people today, but it has been intermittent, and at noon, Mu Ying closed the door and went home, very happy, this month is not yet the end of the month, she has already earned two taels of silver.

When I got home, Liu's had already cooked the meal, there were pepper chicken, capers and fried meat on the table, shredded green pepper meat, toon sprout eggs, squirrel osmanthus fish, ginger fish fillet, and a sake lees fish piece, the fish piece was first marinated with sake lees, etc., and then fried to the shape, and finally fried, the wine flavor is rich, the soup is viscous, my uncle loves to eat fish, there are fish in three of the eight dishes today, this sake lees fish piece is my uncle's favorite.

He also made a plate of white cake with cow cream, which is made of fresh milk, mashed yam, glutinous rice flour, japonica rice flour, and melted brown sugar.

My mother also boiled a pot of hot and sour soup, which put a lot of fish curd (fish balls) in the soup, and also added bamboo sunflower, which was sour, salty, spicy, appetizing and refreshing.

Mu Ying drank two large bowls and ate two bowls of rice before stopping. Liu Mingyuan finished eating the last piece of cow cream white cake before stopping his chopsticks with satisfaction.

Liu served a bowl of lychee paste water, this lychee paste water is called lychee, in fact, there is no lychee in it, but with black plum, shrunken sand kernels, cinnamon bark boiled juice, and then added clove powder to boil into a paste.

The entrance is sweet and sour, and my uncle loves it the most. Sure enough, I saw my uncle take it and drink it all, and then drank another bowl.

Mu Ying shook her head, she said that she had eaten too much just now, and now she can't stop. Seeing that she was almost done, she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Mu Ying was a little worried, how would she send food to that person later, if she went out with the food like this, she would definitely reveal the filling.

If my uncle knew that he had saved someone and came back, he would still be a man, and he wouldn't know how angry he would be. Otherwise, don't send it first, it's nothing to be hungry for one or two meals, and then talk about it after the current level.

Mu Ying thought about it and just put down the dishes and chopsticks. I heard my uncle Liu Mingyuan's voice sound, and he was angry and anxious.

It turned out that Liu Mingyuan would pass by Mu Ying's room when he went to the toilet, and this Liu Mingyuan was originally a martial artist, taller than Pei Jingxing, and was taught by his brother-in-law Qianwei Yuanhou, Pei Jingxing was injured at this time, Liu Mingyuan immediately noticed it, and wondered in his heart, his niece was washing dishes in the kitchen, why did he go back to the room so quickly, he came over and looked, the window was open, and it was facing Pei Jingxing's stunned face, he exploded all of a sudden, almost roaring

"Who are you, why did you appear in A-Ying's room, did you coerce their mother and daughter?" Pei Jingxing was stunned for a moment, he had never seen such an unreasonable person, and questioned him indiscriminately as soon as he came up.

Pei Jingxing was about to open his mouth to explain, Mu Ying came over, and hurriedly pulled Liu Mingyuan out, and Liu Mingyuan reluctantly followed her to the courtyard.

Mu Ying said in a low voice

"Uncle, this is the person I rescued from outside, I will stay here for the time being, and when he recovers, I will send him away"

"I don't agree, do you know your own identity, rashly save a man back, do you want to get married in the future" Liu Mingyuan said angrily.

Mu Ying said with a smile

"You don't know how badly he's hurt," Liu Mingyuan interrupted her

"What does this have to do with you" Mu Ying knew that Liu Mingyuan had always been hard-hearted, so she said helplessly

"Uncle, I'm afraid his injuries were caused by someone assassinating, if you send him out at this time, we will also be affected." Liu Mingyuan gasped, walked around, and aired

"You shouldn't have brought him back in the first place"

"Uncle," Mu Ying said coquettishly. Liu Mingyuan was soft-hearted and said helplessly

"Okay, but when he recovers, he can't stay longer for a day" Mu Ying relieved herself and went back to the house to serve the food to the man.

Pei Jingxing saw that there were vegetables, meat, and soup, so he picked up chopsticks and ate them, ate two large bowls of rice, and drank a bowl of hot and sour soup before stopping.

Mu Ying was brushing the commode outside, Liu Mingyuan thought that she was brushing herself and her sister, so she carried it into her room, what else did she not understand, and he was angry in an instant, he walked over quickly, opened the door and opened the door to Pei Jingxing, Pei Jingxing saw that it was wrong, blocked it a few times in the middle, and persuaded

"Uncle, stop fighting, I have something to say."

"It's easy to talk about a fart" Liu Mingyuan was angry, she had always been elegant, and he couldn't help but spit out dirty words. pointed to Mu Yingdao again

"You're about to become an old mother, does he have no hands or feet, I want you to brush him with this filthy thing" Mu Ying understood, she didn't know that her uncle was angry with herself, and bowed her head and said

"Uncle, his leg is injured and he can't walk freely, uncle, don't be angry" Liu Mingyuan looked at Pei Jingxing and found that his leg was indeed not lightly injured, and he couldn't get out of the fire.

Liu Mingyuan aired

"Then I'll brush him, you don't have to do it." Pei Jingxing

"..."Let this one brush him, is he still thinking about it?" Mu Ying glanced at Pei Jingxing, and when she saw that he was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she stopped him in time just now, otherwise he would have to add new injuries to him.

picked up the dishes and chopsticks, pulled his uncle out, and when he left, Liu Mingyuan glanced at Pei Jingxing with a warning in his eyes.

At noon, because her uncle came, Mu Ying escaped the difficulty of her mother teaching embroidery. Mu Ying told some anecdotes about the streets and alleys, which family's daughter got married, and which family was lucky and rich... Mu Ying herself has a cold temperament and doesn't like to inquire about these things, but her mother likes to listen, so she pays more attention to it.

Liu Mingyuan took out a begonia hairpin and handed it to Mu Yingdao

"This is my birthday gift to A-Ying"

"Thank you, uncle" Mu Ying took it and looked at it, the thickness of the hairpin rod was uniform, the position of the hairpin head was a five-petal begonia flower, and the center of the flower was a round and huge pearl, white and pink, it was top-grade at a glance, and it was also decorated with a string of tassels, which was strung with many small pearls, and the color was also excellent, the workmanship was very exquisite, and the price was expensive.

Mu Ying likes it very much.

"What's the matter, A-Ying doesn't think it's in line with her heart" Liu Mingyuan teased her.

"It's very satisfying," Mu Ying said with a smile. My uncle is good at business, and in the past three or five years, the family has also accumulated three or five hundred gold, which is nothing at all.

And his uncle is also measured, this is also his intention, so Mu Ying accepted it. In the afternoon, she went to the shop, her uncle was at home with her mother, today there are fewer people, she took a pen and paper, started to paint, drew a picture of the river and snow, painted on the cold winter season, the river was covered with a thick layer of snow, and there was a thin layer of ice, everywhere was covered in silver, there was no end in sight, there were two or three families not far away, the bamboo fence hut was also soaked in wind and snow, the lights were sparse, there was a flat boat parked by the river, it was cold and quiet, but it was far away.

She painted another chrysanthemum, only one, the branches and leaves are sparse and moderate, the color is dark green, the flower color is pink, the petals are stacked, the pieces are stretched, and they are extraordinarily clear.

She took a moment to finish the rest of the drawings, dried them and carefully put them away. At this time, there were more people, and when Mu Ying was busy and it was already dark, she closed the door and went home.

Mother has already cooked the meal, there are spicy chicken thighs, pine nut meat, braised river shrimp, fried river fish, sauerkraut fish, and bamboo shoots and stewed meat, of course, there is a bowl of hot and sour soup, Mu Ying sat down to eat, almost finished, mother brought up a plate of mung bean cake, Mu Ying took a piece, soft and glutinous sweet, with glutinous rice and mung beans unique to the light fragrance, uncle ate a lot, most of it went into his stomach.

Mu Ying picked up the dishes and chopsticks and sent them to Pei Jingxing, Pei Jingxing saw that there were shrimp and meat, etc., it was very hearty, and picked up the chopsticks and ate them.

Mu Ying was just about to get the commode, when Liu Mingyuan's voice sounded faintly behind him

"A-Ying, what did I say, I'll come" Liu Mingyuan took the commode and didn't go outside, he brushed it directly in the house with gloves, and there was a faint smell of urine in the air, Pei Jingxing looked at him expressionlessly, endured the vomit in his stomach, and looked at him expressionlessly, Liu Mingyuan glanced at him and said deliberately

"Does it smell bad? A-Ying brushes you every day, but he doesn't even frown, he doesn't owe you" didn't arrive after brushing, put the commode on the ground heavily, and pulled Mu Ying out.

Pei Jingxing was silent for a while, he felt a little sorry for Mu Ying, she rescued him back, not only to provide food and clothing, but also to take care of Lazar's affairs for him, he was born in a family, there were a group of slaves, and he was served all day long, except for being a little embarrassed at the beginning, he naturally didn't feel anything after a long time.

It's just that Mu Ying is not his subordinate, and he is kind to him, he felt a little unpleasant just now, but Mu Ying never said anything.

If it were him, he might not be able to do it. He thought about it for a while, this kind of thing should be left to the dark guard to do, Mu Ying really doesn't owe him.

Mu Ying went back to the house and rested, feeling a little reluctant in her heart, the person didn't mean to do so, and her uncle's move was really a bit too much.

She was a little sad in her heart, her uncle seemed to be hostile to him, but this was the first time they met, and that person would not offend him, fortunately, my uncle would leave tomorrow, and the man would leave after he was injured, and they would not have a chance to meet again.

Mu Ying was no longer entangled and fell asleep on her own.
