auspicious time has come

Chapter 96 What a fight

"This mother in Mrs. Miao's family is a brave person... For money, she dares to take any risks. When she is in a hurry, she is not afraid of offending Lord Hou."

Hengyu's voice was very soft, her eyes were still far away when she spoke, and she only slightly leaned her upper body towards Xiao Mu: "The couple who were called Second Uncle and Aunt by Mrs. Miao were so eager to pull people back, not so much because they were afraid of things. If it gets bigger, it's more like I'm afraid that Mother Miao will say something that shouldn't be said when she gets excited..."

"You are very observant." Xiao Mu said, "It seems that your previous guess was correct."

Heng Yu withdrew his gaze, looked at him, and asked in a low voice: "Then, do you want to investigate?"

"There are many people involved. Since they are within our jurisdiction, it is natural to investigate."

"This is indeed... and this matter is considered official business to the Marquis, but it is not just a business." Heng Yu looked at Liu Miao and the two who were not far away, and said seriously: "After all, it is also related to the prospective daughter-in-law of the Marquis. -"

Just now Liu Zhubo recognized his father in public, and the scene of Xiao Hou appearing in time to claim this identity was still in front of her eyes.

Xiao Mu also looked at her seriously, and raised one hand to put his fingers on top of her head: "I wonder if Painter Ji suffers from itchy skin?"

Hengyu subconsciously wanted to cover her head.

However, the hand hanging above her head moved extremely quickly——

It hit her on the head with a "dang".

"...What a fight!" Heng Yu covered her head and hissed lightly.

Xiao Mu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and walked forward with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this scene, the young man behind him had a complicated expression on his face. Master Hou hit Painter Ji on the head, and it seemed that the beating was not light - can this be said to Madam?
Or because he was really at a loss, he couldn't help but look at Vice General Wang beside him.

Vice-General Wang's expression is not normal either - the general is getting more and more abnormal.

Looking at those backs, Wang Jingyong had an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart that "if this continues, something bad will happen", so he strode forward and came to his general's side.

The next moment, my general looked back at the young man who was dusting his body, and asked him, "Have you learned it yet?"

Wang Jingyong: "..."

Can't learn.

It is possible to waste learning.

"Master Xiao, Master Ji, if you don't mind, please go and sit in the hall." Mrs. Miao stepped forward to greet her.

Seeing the girl beside him raise her foot, Xiao Mu nodded.

The two walked in front, and Jia Yuan supported Lady Miao's arm from behind, comforting in a low voice: "...Sister Miao, please don't get mad because of this, it's not worth it, just ignore those people from now on. "

Just now seeing all this in her eyes, she was angry for Mrs. Miao, but also felt that the world is impermanent.

Not long ago, she was still a homeless orphan girl, and Miao Miao, who kindly took her in, had a well-connected natal family to rely on behind her——

But in an instant, everything changed suddenly.

Things are always tricky.

Fortunately, shopkeeper Miao is self-reliant enough to have the confidence to deal with these people.

Just in response to what A Niang said, as a woman, if you have the opportunity to be self-reliant, even if the chance is slim, you should never become a dodder flower that depends on others for the so-called easy moment.

Now being "forced" by her family to practice calligraphy, reading, and learning to calculate accounts is a bit difficult for her, but it is also her luck.

"It's good to see clearly, it's a good thing to see clearly as soon as possible." Mrs. Miao used two "see clearly" in a row.

Seeing that she could see clearly, Jiayuan felt relieved, and subconsciously looked at Liu Xun on one side, her voice was lowered, with a hint of a smile: "Sister Miao is right, after this incident, I can see clearly the things around me." People are sincere..."

Recently, she learned that "you can lose your horse without knowing it is a blessing", maybe this is what it means?

Behind, the young guy wiped off the mess on his face, and when he was about to follow up, someone grabbed his arm.

"Mom? Why are you here?"

"Why did I come here? I've been watching all the time!" The woman asked in a low voice: "...I let you break the catastrophe, what were you doing just now?"

"I can't stand seeing them bullying people..."

When the guy was trying to explain his outrageous behavior just now, he only heard his mother praise: "As expected of being born by me, well done! The only downside is that the scolding was too light!"

He said again: "... I didn't see that my son still has this ability. In the future, the stepmother will quarrel with your aunt and the others, but I will count on you!"

"..." I imagined the scene of myself playing against my aunts, and the buddy was in a complicated mood.

"Okay, go in and serve Lord Xiao!" The woman quickly urged, her face full of excitement and joy: "It's better to turn around so that your father and I can also enjoy the Buddha's light..."

Meeting his mother's eyes, the man suddenly felt as if he had become a magic weapon—the kind that was about to be sent to the Bodhisattva for consecration.

In the hall, Heng Yu and Xiao Mu sat down at a table.

Mrs. Miao went forward and saluted solemnly to thank: "I am really grateful to Lord Hou and Painter Ji for today's matter."

Otherwise, she alone would not be able to scare off those savage wolves who could devour people alive.

And her closest relatives suddenly became wolves, if no one was around to give her some confidence, she might not be able to treat each other calmly and rationally.

Liu Xun hurriedly saluted along with him, "Thank you, Lord Hou and Painter Ji, for your help."

Wang Jingyong glanced at the two people who were standing and saluting, and then at the two people who were sitting there accepting the salute from them——

What is this doing?
Do you pay homage to the high hall?

At this moment, the waiter brought a pot of tea, Lady Miao took it, poured out two cups and handed them to Xiao Mu and Heng Yu.

"...!" Lieutenant Wang's pupils shrank for a while.

I still want to offer tea, right?

Just hang the lobby with red silk!
Rao is Deputy General Wang, who is usually unconventional, but this scene is too obvious for an outsider like him.

Holding the tea, Hengyu sniffed the steamed stuffed buns in his nose, and asked Xiao Mu, "Master Hou hasn't eaten steamed stuffed buns from Shopkeeper Miao's house, has he?"

Hearing the implication behind her words that she wanted to eat, Xiao Mu lowered his eyes to the tea room and said "Mmm".

"... How can you entertain the Lord Hou with the small snacks and simple meals that are not available on the table?" Mrs. Miao said with some panic: "There are a few restaurants across the street that have good dishes. Why don't I go and order one?" Table, right to chat to express our thanks."

Hearing how expensive and picky her general was, Wang Jingyong straightened his back and said seriously: "When my general marched in the past, he always shared drinks with the soldiers in the army. When the march was difficult, he would drink rainwater and chew grass roots to satisfy his hunger. Things--"

Hearing that his subordinates had nowhere to place their untimely ambitions, Xiao Mu was speechless for a moment.

Although it is true, but saying it at this moment, inexplicably feels like drinking blood and raw hair...

Not surprisingly, the surroundings were quiet for a moment, and sure enough, they fell into a cold spot.

"The quality of eating depends not only on the ingredients, but also on each person's craftsmanship. It is the real ability to make ordinary steamed buns that everyone praises." In the end, it was Hengyu who said with a smile: "You Lao will make all the existing buns Steam them all in one basket, and ask Lord Hou to taste it."

Shopkeeper Miao didn't say any more, and responded with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, please rest, there are ready-made steamed buns, just steam the small ones!" The clerk grinned and hurriedly washed his hands.

"Ah, by the way, I came out today to help my aunt pick out the materials to wear on the day of her appointment... and I still have work to do, so I'll take my leave first." Jiayuan saluted at the right time, and looked at Mrs. Miao with a smile before leaving. He glanced at Liu Xun.

Seeing that his subordinate hesitated and stood still for a long time, Xiao Mu put down the teacup: "...to eat together?"

Liu Xun suddenly came back to his senses: "Subordinates...just eat!"

After speaking, I saw my general and Ji painter looking at me together.

The overly quiet eyes seem to be asking——

So, when will we stand?
Liu Xun looked nervously at Lady Miao.

After a long while, he finally opened his mouth and said, "...Dahei, has he been fed?"

"?" Lady Miao shook her head.

"Then I...then let's go and have a look at it?" Liu Xun showed a nervous smile.

"..." Lady Miao nodded.

Therefore, the two headed towards the backyard together.

Seeing that the curtain separating the front hall and the backyard fell, Heng Yu asked in a low voice: "Master Hou, I heard that all of you martial arts practitioners have very good hearing, is it true?"

Xiao Mu: "...It's not so good."

Heng Yu let out a slightly disappointed "Oh".

Xiao Mu suggested: "If you want to eavesdrop, you can go behind the curtain."

Hengyu looked embarrassed: "It's not good to be so deliberate?"

After all, hearing is very good. There is a big difference between hearing "accidentally" and eavesdropping behind a curtain.

Xiao Mu really admired her self-deception ability, and fell silent in admiration.

　Go to bed early today, good night everyone!
