Dressed as the Fujiao bag of the captain's house

Chapter 529 Shen Family's Secret Guard, Shen Yi
After the girl chatted with Mrs. Shen for a while, she was arranged to rest in another room by the servants.

Mrs. Shen watched the girl gradually go away with a smile on her face, and when she was completely out of sight, her smile turned cold instantly.

"Go and find out when Xiaoxi returned to China, where she went the first time she returned to China, and who she met, and find out one by one."

Her cold tone made it impossible to see that she loved the girl who was whispering with her arm just now.

Qinglian didn't look flustered at all, she only said yes, and stepped back to give orders.

Not long after, she returned again.

"Miss Shen Xi got off the plane this morning, and then took the car Shen Cheng arranged for her to go to a newly opened western restaurant for dinner, and stayed in the western restaurant for more than half an hour before taking the car straight to our place. "

"That restaurant has private rooms. The secret guards didn't find out if Miss Shen Xi saw anyone."

After she finished her report respectfully, she waited for Mrs. Shen to speak.

"Shen Sheng?"

"It's him again."

Mrs. Shen relaxed her body, leaned on the soft couch, and ordered lightly:

"It's just a dog who joined our Shen family's side branch and changed his name with no backbone."

"Does he think that because Shen Xi, who was born with Shen Meng, has won some favor in front of me, he can violate my order and let the descendants of the Shen family go back to the country?"

Seeing that she was about to get angry, Qinglian hurriedly comforted her:

"Shen Cheng's dog barks and jumps wildly because he is an ungrateful beast. Madam, don't be angry, we don't have the same sense as beasts."

"Humph!"

Madam Shen snorted coldly:
"I'm not as knowledgeable as a beast."

"However, it is not allowed for the dog to make some small movements blatantly."

She fiddled with the incense burner casually, and suddenly called out a name in a deep voice:
"Shen Yi!"

Qinglian only felt a gust of wind blowing around her, and a person knelt down opposite Mrs. Shen.

"Subordinates are here."

Shen Yi bowed his head, kneeling respectfully.

His hair was half-length, not short, revealing an unhealthy white forehead and a little scarlet lip.

Mrs. Shen did not directly assign tasks, but asked casually:

"Your master has stepped down as the chief of the dark guards, and I have already appointed you as the next chief of the dark guards."

"Are you confident that you can do it?"

Shen Yi was kneeling on the ground straight, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but look up.

His whole face was exposed, his complexion was extremely pale, and he looked very unhealthy.

But his extremely beautiful facial features have been pieced together into a face that is thousands of times more beautiful than a woman's.

Especially the lip embedded under his nose, like a plum blossom growing out of the snow, its unique color.

"You, you..."

His lips opened and closed, and finally he only said firmly:

"This subordinate will definitely not betray your trust."

Mrs. Shen was extremely satisfied with his reaction:
"Ah."

"I know you are only 16 years old, it is too early to appoint you as the chief of the secret guards now."

"But I have confidence in you, you are the most outstanding seedling among our Shen family's group of hidden guards."

"My subordinate thanked Madam for her praise."

There was no expression on Shen Yi's face, but the loyalty in his eyes had already revealed his emotions at this time.

After all, he is still a teenager, no matter how well he hides his emotions, there will be times when his emotions will be exposed.

Mrs. Shen valued his potential, and didn't care about his mistakes at this time.

"I have a task for you to do."

"You go to the second branch abroad and take Shen Cheng's life. After the task is completed, return immediately."

"Yes."

Shen Yi's face was calm, and after accepting this task, he quickly disappeared.

Qinglian has served Mrs. Shen in the Shen family for so many years, and it is rare to see a hidden guard with kung fu as powerful as him.

"This hidden guard has a talent for learning ancient martial arts, and it can be said that he is not low."

She smiled and praised:
"Our Shen family's dark guard department has been established for more than a thousand years, and I have served you in the Shen family for decades. This is the first time I have seen a dark guard who can truly come and go without a trace."

The lineage of ancient martial arts is really incomparably mysterious.

Mrs. Shen's focus was not on Shen Yi's martial arts, she asked with a smile:
"Qinglian, do you think Shen Yi's face looks good?"

Although Qinglian was confused and didn't know why she suddenly asked this question, she still answered respectfully:
"Nature is good."

She recalled the face that Shen Yi showed at the moment when she raised her head, and she couldn't help saying:
"The complexion is unparalleled, beautiful and charming, I see, he is even more beautiful than the most beautiful woman born."

Mrs. Shen was very helpful to her evaluation.

"Shen Yi is good-looking, good at martial arts, and loyal to the Shen family. When my precious granddaughter comes back, I want to promise him to our Shen family's baby..."

Qinglian was shocked by her words:
"This……"

Miss has been missing for so many years, and she still doesn't know if she is dead or alive, let alone a granddaughter who is nothing more than a granddaughter.

"I know what you want to say."

Mrs. Shen glanced at her without anger and prestige:
"Xin'er must still be alive. I dreamed that she gave me a beautiful and lovely granddaughter."

"You don't know, my granddaughter is very beautiful, just like her deceased grandfather, she has a pair of cute little dimples when she smiles..."

She thought of that dream a few years ago, and also thought of the baby's face that flashed by in her dream, and the eyes around her eyes gradually became moist.

Seeing that her master was sad, Qinglian quickly raised her hand and slapped herself on the mouth a few times:

"It's my quick talk, it's my stupid talk."

"Miss must be living a good life, maybe she is living a very happy life..."

Mrs. Shen blinked, forced back the tears, and replied softly:
"Xin'er must be happy to have her baby's granddaughter by her side..."

Qinglian was afraid that continuing to talk about this topic would make her master even more sad.

So he just kept silent.

The master and the servant looked at Bai Xue outside the window together, and they fantasized about the only missing daughter from the Shen family...

The 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

"Lan Xin, are the dumplings ready? The water in my pot is boiling."

"There are also longevity noodles made by your mother. Hurry up and take the noodles out for Nanbao to eat."

In the steaming kitchen, Zhang Chunmei was busy on the stove.

Xu Lanxin and Liu Yan sat on a small bench, making dumplings quickly in the foggy kitchen.

Mu Jianfeng came in tall and burly, and left quickly with the bowl of longevity noodles that he had prepared.

His kitchen is too small, he has to stay in the kitchen all the time, it can't accommodate so many people.

"All right."

"It's packed."

Xu Lanxin's hands were covered with flour.

She stood up with a smile and stretched herself, and then she and Liu Yan brought the dumplings to the stove.

Zhang Chunmei immediately put the dumplings into the pot.

After a few minutes.

"Everyone wash their hands and get ready to eat."

She yelled loudly when the dumplings were cooked.

"okay!"

Elder Mu in the main room responded loudly.

It caused everyone in the Mu family to laugh.

Zhang Chunmei, who was in the kitchen with a straight smile, came out with a blushing face.

Bowls of white and fat dumplings are placed on the round wooden table.

Mu Yang, Mu Tian and the others consciously held their bowls to eat dumplings, only Mu Nannan was holding a large bowl of longevity noodles.

Longevity noodles are rolled out of Jingui white noodles, and two poached eggs are placed on top.

Today is her seventh birthday.

It's also the penultimate day of the year.

One more day and it will be a new year.

She has a small appetite, and she can't eat half of the noodles.

In the end, Mu Tian helped her finish eating.

Seeing Mu Tian eating noodles from her bowl without dislike at all, Mu Nannan couldn't help but said:
"My little brother will also eat the rest of my meal..."

Ji Beinian is such a clean person, but he never dislikes her.

Everyone else at the dinner table dared not say a word.

Because they felt the sadness emanating from Mu Nannan.

The little baby in their family is thinking about Ji Bei Nian again.

In the past, on Mu Nannan's birthday, Ji Beinian was always the least likely to be absent, but this year, he was absent for the first time.

In fact, everyone in the Mu family knew that when Ji Beinian returned to the capital, became Master Ji again, and lived the life he used to live as a master, it has already shown that he and Mu Nannan will go farther and farther away.

The separation of the two places far away is not the most distressing.

The huge difference between life and knowledge is the most distressing and helpless.

They were very worried that Ji Beinian and Mu Nannan had come to this point.

"Excuse me, is this Comrade Mu Nannan's house?"

At the gate with red couplets on it, a postman pushing a bicycle, wearing a thick sticky cap and thick gloves, asked politely.

"Yes."

Mu Nannan swept away the sadness just now, and ran to the gate excitedly.

She looked up expectantly and asked:

"Uncle postman, do you have my mail?"

She is dressed festively today.

The big red padded jacket and the two braids tied with red strings make her look like the baby doll in the New Year pictures.

"Yes, it was mailed from Kyoto."

The postman took out two or three large packages, and when he handed them to her, he could not help lowering his tone:
"Little comrade, the package is quite heavy, so be careful when you pick it up."

Mu Nannan nodded.

The parcel was handed over to her, and the postman rode his bicycle to the next house.

"Happy New Year Uncle!"

Mu Nannan waved at his back.

The red postman with cold face and nose also turned his head and said with a smile:

"Haha, Happy New Year to the little comrades too!"

The sky began to snow again.

Mu Nannan returned to the main room with the packages in his arms, then squatted on the ground, carefully unpacking them one by one.

The package was sent by Song Jing and the others.

It was a birthday present for her.

What Song Zichen gave was a small bracelet made of bullet casings.

The bracelet is very exquisitely made, and the bullet case is also polished very smooth, which shows that it has really put its heart into it.

What Song Jing gave was a bright red children's cheongsam.

The red fabric and the fluffy white outside made her open the package, and I heard Xu Lanxin, Zhang Chunmei and others breathe in.

What Mingzhe sent was a longevity lock made of pure gold.

The longevity lock is solid, with a few pieces of emerald embedded in it.

With its luxurious appearance and considerable price, Mu Nannan knew it was a gift from him.

What Shengjing sent was a few thick books.

Mu Nannan opened the book on it, and what he saw was densely packed with annotations.

These books are about learning, but also about doing business.

It is indeed of great benefit to Mu Nannan.

She was moved and happy to continue scrolling down.

The gifts given by the other brothers are very thoughtful, and the gifts given by the younger brother are definitely not far behind.

But she rummaged through the package, but couldn't find Ji Beinian's birthday present for her.

The Mu family watched as the expression on her face changed from surprise to disappointment, and from disappointment to sadness.

"There is no gift from my little brother."

Mu Nannan's eyes slowly turned red:

"All the elder brothers have given gifts, but there is no one from him."

Xu Lanxin squatted beside her, Mu Nannan comforted her softly:
"Nanbao, don't be sad, maybe the postman missed it just now."

"Bei Nian loves you so much, he will never forget that today is your birthday."

Mu Nannan squatted pitifully, tears rolling in his eyes.

Xu Lanxin was afraid that if she tried to persuade her again, her tears would fall down with a bang, so she could only squat beside her and accompany her silently.

The happy atmosphere of the Mu family disappeared from this day on.

Mu Nannan's seventh birthday was very bad because of Ji Beinian's absence.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the crackling sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the village.

Mu Tian and Mu Yang also lit firecrackers and set them off in the courtyard.

Ma Yuehong and the others watched the two from a distance in the main room.

"I remember at this time last year, our family was still reunited together."

"But this year, the fourth child is busy doing research in the laboratory, and my eldest and second child are also busy preparing for the exam at Kyoto University. Without these three people, I always feel uncomfortable."

Zhang Chunmei said sadly.

She missed Mu Qi who was far away in Kyoto, and also missed Mu Chen and Mu Sheng who were admitted to Kyoto University with excellent grades in October this year.

As the saying goes, a child travels thousands of miles and a mother is worried. This sentence is true.

She has been married to Mu's family for nearly two years, and she treats Mu Qi as her own son. On the night of New Year's Eve, all three sons are not around...

Liu Yan patted her hand comfortingly:

"Sister-in-law, we should think this way. The three children of our family who are not here tonight are going to contribute to our great country."

"If you think about it that way, it won't be so sad."

Xu Lanxin didn't interrupt.

She just looked worriedly at the sullen Mu Nannan.

Since yesterday, her daughter has been in a state of not saying a word or laughing.

No matter what jokes or wisecracks the family said in front of her, they could not attract her attention.

She seems to be immersed in her own world.

This state is very similar to Ji Bei's autism when he was young.

"Nanbao, will mom take you to set off the fireworks?"

She tried to communicate with Mu Nannan again.

Mu Nannan shook his head listlessly.

Xu Lan felt relieved.

The daughter's reaction to the outside world proves that it's nothing serious.

"No fireworks, can mom take you outside to make a snowman?"

Mu Nannan didn't shake his head this time.

She looked at the snowflakes fluttering outside, and said in a low voice:

"it is good."

On the last day of the year, Mu Nannan's depression lasted for two days, and slowly showed signs of improvement.

Kyoto.

In a brightly lit villa.

Mr. Ji, who was dressed in a Tang suit, came back from the Shen family's party, and asked his servants a little tiredly:
"Is the young master's fever gone?"

The servant quickly replied:

"The young master hasn't come down from upstairs since the doctor found out he had a fever this morning."

"We went upstairs and knocked on the door, but the young master would just tell us to leave in a cold voice..."

"Humph!"

Before he could finish his sentence, old man Ji snorted heavily, and then strode up the stairs with meteoric steps.

When he came to Ji Beinian's room, he didn't say hello, and let the people around him kick him away fiercely.

The room was pitch black and the light was not turned on. He skillfully found the position of the switch and pressed it.

When the lights came on, his pupils shrank suddenly:
"What about people?!"

The servant looked at the empty bedroom, and his legs became weak in fright:
"I, I don't know..."
