Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly looked in the direction he pointed, but found that it was empty, only a towering tree standing quietly in the sun.

"Daddy, what did you just see?"

"Someone I've been looking for a long time. Mu You said, he rubbed his eyes, "Maybe I'm wrong! I've been trying to find them, but I haven't been able to find them." I used to have such an illusion in the past, but I didn't expect it to be like this again when I first arrived here today. ”

But having said that, after returning to the county office, he couldn't help but ask Mu Jiaojiao: "Recently, has anyone approached you intentionally or unintentionally, and has been close to you, and even the little lady refuses to let go?"

Mu Jiaojiao chuckled helplessly. "Daddy, since Liulang became an official, have there been fewer people who have done this in the past four or five years? Now there is a little lady, and they can see a doorway to get in touch with us. It's also a shame that the little lady has a big temper, and no one pays attention to her except her own family, otherwise they don't know how many means to use to make her happy!"

"Is that so? Maybe I'm thinking too much!" Mu You rubbed his temples, "I'm really old. Now, even the ninth lady is going to get married, and soon Eleven Lang will grow up to say goodbye. In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and I am old, old!"

Hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao's heart ached again.

"Daddy, don't talk about that. It's easy to get to Yangzhou, you can relax here for a while! There are a lot of fun places here, and there are more delicious foods. ”

"Good. Mu You nodded with a smile.

Cui Pu finally couldn't help it, so he asked, "Father-in-law, I see that you seem to be very nervous before, who are you looking for?" ”

"Forget this, you little ones can't be busy yourself, how can I use these trivial things to bother you?

Cui Pu wanted to say something, but Mu Jiaojiao quietly glanced at him, and he shut up.

Now that he has arrived in Hailing County, as a father, Mu You naturally wants to have a long talk with Wang Qilang. Fortunately, although Wang Qilang is shy, he is also a gentleman of a family, he has a clear bearing and talks well. Mu You is well-informed and does not oppress him too much, and the future son-in-law chatted quite happily.

Then, the marriage was vigorously prepared.

The good day that the Wang family calculated was at the beginning of May, and the time was very tight. Cui Pu firmly believes that this is the closest auspicious day set by the Wang family in order to quickly solve the burden of Wang Seventeen.

But Wang Seventeen, the quail, had no intention of resisting the Wang family's decision. Now that the man has made a decision, and Mu You has not vetoed it, this good day is set.

When Gong and Mu Hao's mother and son arrived in Yangzhou, they lived in Yangzhou City, and Mu Haoyi married from the Wei family. I don't know how Mu Haoyi persuaded the Gong family, she really didn't make any more trouble.

Busy days always have to go by very quickly. Soon came the day of marriage, the big red sedan chair took the bride over, saluted, made a hole in the room, and tossed until midnight The crowd dispersed.

The next day, the newlyweds got up to pay their respects to their aunt. But the Wang family sent a steward over this time, and he was naturally not qualified to accept the tea salute from Mu Yiyi and Wang Qilang. So, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu discussed, and simply let Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Wu and others act as the man's family, and sit on the top seat to drink tea in a grand manner.

Since the Wang family doesn't give face, why should they be polite to them?

Mu You was also a little dissatisfied with the Wang family's actions this time. After all, Mu Jiaojiao gave birth, and the Cui family also knew to send two daughters-in-law to settle her. As a result, Wang Qilang got married for such a big thing, and the Wang family refused to come under the pretext of having something, pushed back and forth, and finally sent a third-class steward, which is enough to show that they don't care about this family business. Since they are not good at handling this matter, only the Mu family will help manage it!

It was easy for this marriage to come to a successful conclusion, and Mu You had to get up and leave again. He had already set a schedule to go to Youzhou to find someone. Mu Jiaojiao was reluctant to give up, but she couldn't keep him.

Before leaving, Cui Pu accompanied him to go around Hailing County.

In these days in Hailing County, he heard Cui Pu mention the construction of a leisure villa, and he was very interested in it, and he also participated in their discussion group and put forward some opinions. However, the more in-depth the discussion, the more interesting he found the project, so he simply asked Cui Pu to take him to the place where he was going to demarcate and go around.

Cui Pu has always respected this father-in-law. Now that my father-in-law has made this request, he is naturally happy to meet it. So he ordered two horses to be prepared, and the two sons rode away on horseback.

That place is in the east of Hailing County, six or seven miles away from the county office. Because it is already outside the county, there are not many people. When the horse walked there, he saw several large mansions dotted with green trees, and a meandering river behind him, and the scenery was indeed very pleasant.

"It's a good idea to circle this place and build a few more houses. However, this house can't be built too much, otherwise it will destroy the natural scenery here and it will not be beautiful. While walking around this place, Mu You said to Cui Pu.

Cui Pu nodded repeatedly. "I think so too. Of course, how many of those old ministers would willingly leave their families to live here permanently? I think building four or five more houses will be about the same. ”

Mu You bowed his head and continued to ride his horse forward, pointing all the way. Cui Pu also secretly remembered his suggestion.

Before they knew it, the two of them walked to the easternmost side, and they saw a much more impressive mansion in sight. This house is not very solemn and ornate, but the area is obviously much larger than the others, and the gate is more magnificent, and the discerning person can see the difference at a glance.

"That's where the King of Hejian lived, right?" Mu You said. He had already learned about the king of Hejian coming to Hailing County to recuperate in Mu Jiaojiao's letter.

Cui Pu nodded. "This one has always lived in seclusion, and even if he came here, he didn't see him move around much. However, when the Wei's Restaurant here opened, and when the little lady washed the three, he came over to join in the fun, and then disappeared again. ”

Indeed, he is such a person. When I lived in Chang'an for so long, didn't I only hear of him?" Mu You said with a smile, "If there is such a person in the Leisure Villa, it will be like a Dinghai God Needle, and it will definitely be able to do it." However, it would be much easier if you could ask him for his permission to say a few words in advance. ”

Do you want to say good things to the king of Hejian? This kind of thing, if Mu Jiaojiao and the little lady were to talk about it together, he would definitely agree, right? Cui Pu thought secretly, but immediately threw this idea out of his mind again--No! Isn't it obvious that he is in the mouth of a tiger? He didn't want his wife and daughter to have any contact with that old man!

It seems that when the time comes, only I will be cheeky and go through.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the gate of the county king's mansion in front of him slowly open.

Cui Pu and Mu You hurriedly reined in their horses and avoided to the side. Then I saw a carriage come out of it and walk slowly forward.

After walking a short distance, it seemed that he noticed that there was someone here, and the person in the car lifted the curtain to look at this side, and then lowered the curtain again.

But it was this glance that made Mu You's face pale!

He immediately raised his whip and was about to urge the horse to catch up.

Cui Pu's eyes were quick, and he quickly grabbed his reins: "Father-in-law, the king of the county is traveling, we must not disturb his car." Otherwise, if the county king is scared out, neither of us can afford it!"

Mu You came back to his senses at this time, but his face was still not good-looking, and there was a flash of obvious shock in his eyes.

Seeing this, Cui Pu secretly screamed a few times in his heart that there was a problem, so he hurriedly asked, "Father-in-law, did you see something just now?"

Mu You took a deep breath: "Are you sure this is the car of the King of Hejian County, and the one sitting in the car is the King of Hejian himself?"

"Isn't the sign on the car already indicating his identity? And when he comes out of the front door openly, who else can he be?"

"Yes. Mu You nodded, and suddenly turned the horse's head, "I'm done reading it today, let's go back!"

Then without waiting for Cui Pu to react, he rode his horse and galloped away.

Cui Pu's brows immediately furrowed even tighter.

Hurriedly caught up with Mu You's pace, and the two of them returned to the county government back and forth. After Mu You dismounted, he threw the reins into the little girl's hand, and walked quickly to the backyard.

Mu Jiaojiao was watching the little lady learn to climb.

The little girl is energetic, and the back and forth rolling before can no longer satisfy her. I don't know when she will be blessed with her soul, and suddenly she began to learn to crawl up. Look at the lotus-like little arm to push the bed, and the little short leg kicks hard, and the round little body stands up. Then, move your right little arm forward to stabilize it, and then move your left little arm again, still holding it down. Then, I saw that the little short leg on the right had just been raised, and her little body began to shake. But the little girl didn't give up, her right foot staggered down, and she couldn't wait to start stepping on her left foot.

As a result, her small body was crooked, and she fell to the ground with a bang, and she rolled around several times.

"Hahaha!"

Mu Jiaojiao saw this series of changes in her eyes, and immediately clapped her hands and laughed.

Mu Yiyi, who had combed the woman's head, also stood aside, covering her lips and laughing when she saw her little niece.

But the little lady fell and opened her mouth to cry. It's just that her big eyes wandered around, and she didn't find that the daddy who loved her like her life was there, so her little mouth opened and closed silently. She suddenly began to exert strength on all fours again, propping up the round little body, and then continuing the previous movements.

Seeing this, Mu Haoyi couldn't help but praise: "Sister, the little lady is so tenacious! The little lady of the second sister's family is not as good as her." ”

"This has to be when her daddy can't see it. Once her daddy shows up, she doesn't do anything. Mu Jiaojiao said indifferently.

As the sisters spoke, their eyes still firmly fixed on the little girl who had been defeated and defeated on the bed, and the corners of their eyes and lips were full of smiles.

Syllable!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the two sisters turned their heads together, and saw Mu You walking in in a hurry.

"Jiu Niangzi go out, I have something important to say with your sister. Crossing the threshold, without waiting for the daughters to come forward to salute, Mu You said.

Mu Haoyi's heart was shocked, and he quickly retreated obediently.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao's heart was full of puzzlement. "Daddy......"

was about to catch up, but I didn't want to see Mu You striding forward, pressing her shoulders with both hands and starting to look up and down. "You said before that you have treated the king of Hejian how many times, but has he touched you these times, and has he done anything to you?"

"No, he lay there motionless when I was cured, and when I was cured, I left, and he didn't touch me. Mu Jiaojiao shook her head.

Mu You hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Jiaojiao was even more surprised-when did he take care of the affairs of the king of Hejian County?

But before she could say this, Mu You's eyes turned to the little lady again, and his face changed again: "When the little lady washed the third day, did he come?

He hugged it, gave him a set of silver jewelry, and put it on the child on the spot. But when we got the baby back, we took it off. Mu Jiaojiao said.

"He really hugged it!?" Mu You roared.

It's a real roar, a roar of rage, not a roar of shock.

Mu Jiaojiao's heartbeat accelerated sharply, and a bad premonition hit her heart. Cui Pu hurried over, and when he heard his father-in-law's roar, his heart suddenly drooped heavily.

Mu You roared, so he strode over and picked up the little lady who was still learning to climb, and pulled her little arm back and forth to check.

The little lady struggled a few times, squinted at Cui Pu coming in, and immediately opened her little mouth and cried.

However, this time, Mu You didn't let go of her hand in distress, and insisted on checking both of her small hands, as well as around her neck, but found nothing.

"Daddy, the child has tender skin and good recovery ability. Even if there are injuries on the body, it should disappear for more than half a year. Mu Jiaojiao whispered.

"You're right. It's been more than half a year, where will there be traces?" Mu You nodded heavily, and then let go of the little lady and stood up.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu had already felt an ominous omen in their hearts.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

The little lady was crying and her face was flushed, and her little hands kept stretching out towards Cui Pu, pitiful, it was really distressing.

Cui Pu quickly hugged her daughter in her arms, patted her gently on the back, and asked in a low voice, "Father-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"I'd rather I'm not feeling well and going crazy. Mu You chuckled, "By the way, what about the set of silver ornaments sent by the King of Hejian County, show it to me." ”

Mu Jiaojiao nodded hurriedly and asked Hongdou to go to the warehouse to get the silver jewelry.

In this gap, everyone lowered their eyes and breathed, and the atmosphere in the room was very depressing. The little lady wanted to cry a few times, but she keenly found that the situation was wrong, her big wet eyes looked around, and then obediently lay back into Cui Pu's arms, her little nose twitched, and she just snorted twice.

Soon the set of silver ornaments was taken. Mu You opened it, took the collar over, and touched the pendant with his big hand lightly, and heard a soft click, and the pendant was split in half from the middle. And in the middle of this, a black thing comes into view.

"What is this?" Cui Pu's heart sank again.

"Some kind of bug's nest. Mu You replied in a deep voice.

Cui Pu's face immediately changed! He thought of the insect that had been wreaking havoc in Mu Jiaojiao's body for more than ten years.

"You mean ......"

"That's right. Mu You bowed his head, and a coldness spread in his eyes, "I really didn't expect that I had been looking for him for twenty years, but now I found that he was by my side! ”

As he spoke, his voice was cold again: "Now you send him a post, and we will come to him together another day!"
