stormy clouds

Lindu Qingxiangzhai is a pastry shop that just opened in the past two months. The pastries it makes mainly have a light taste, and business has been booming since it opened. If you want to eat pastries from Qingxiangzhai, you must queue up in advance to buy them.

Chang Luoyun told Qing Luo to go to Qingxiangzhai to buy some fresh cakes early in the morning. He also washed up early and prepared to go to greet Mrs. Mu.

As soon as she walked into the yard, Mu Jingyi walked in from outside. Seeing her about to go out, he was stunned for a moment, "I slept late yesterday, why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Chang Luoyun's cheeks warmed up, and there was a hint of shyness in his smile, "My mother said that she would invite my aunt and Lian Zhen to come over today for a get-together. I will go over to my mother's place early to see if there is anything I haven't thought of."

Mu Jingyi's eyes were deep and dazzling, making him look even more noble and noble. He looked at her with a smile and said: "Auntie and Lian Zhen are both our own people. Even if there is any shortcomings, it won't be a big deal. You don't have to work so hard."

"Having said that, my mother and aunt are at odds because of me."

"This has nothing to do with you," Mu Jingyi's voice was filled with rare tenderness, "Don't think like that."

Chang Luoyun smiled and changed the topic, "Today is not a holiday, why are you back again?"

Mu Jingyi pulled her back to the room and pressed her on the chair in front of the table, "The last time I came back from Zhuangzi, I was thinking about setting up a memorial tablet for my mother-in-law at Wanfu Temple. Firstly, I can enjoy the incense and offerings, and secondly, Wanfu Temple is not far from home. It's far away, so you might as well go and worship often. The monks from Wanfu Temple came over early this morning and said that the spiritual tablet has been placed properly. If you are free, you can go there and worship from time to time."

Chang Luoyun was startled, but he didn't expect that he was so intentional.

Grandma was not able to enter the Chang family's ancestral grave, and she was left alone after her death. In the past, she often went to worship when she was in Qingzhou. Now that she has arrived in Lindu, because of the long distance, she cannot worship Grandma on her birthday and death. Every time I think of it, , and felt sad.

Now, he actually thought of enshrining his mother's soul in Wanfu Temple to enjoy the incense. Chang Luoyun felt hot in his heart. Without saying a word, he just put his hands around his waist and pressed his face tightly against his chest.

Mu Jingyi allowed her to hold him, and after a while he smiled and coaxed: "It was rare to see you cry in the past, but now you look more and more like a child. If my mother-in-law knows about it, she will definitely say that I bullied you."

Chang Luoyun didn't care and just held him tightly. After a while, he said with a nasal voice: "Come back early tonight, and I will ask the kitchen to make wine-stuffed duck for you."

"Okay." Mu Jingyi touched her head and agreed with a smile.

"Auntie and Lian Zhen are coming over today, so they don't have time. You will have a rest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and come with me to Wanfu Temple to see my grandma!"

"it is good."

Chang Luoyun then let go of his hand, straightened his clothes, and said sheepishly: "I can't wear these clothes anymore. I'll find another one."

After Mu Jingyi changed his clothes and left, Chang Luoyun sat in front of the dressing table again. Bi Yan came in with some water and was startled when he saw her reddish eyes. The lady was fine when she got up. The Marquis just came back. Could it be that they had a quarrel.

Bi Yan wanted to ask but didn't dare. She was secretly angry with Mu Jingyi.

Chang Luoyun washed his face again. Seeing Biyan's bulging cheeks and pouted lips in anger, he asked strangely: "Who made you angry this morning?"

After all, Bi Yan couldn't help but said: "Who else could it be? It's not the Marquis."

"Master Hou?" Chang Luoyun's hand holding the hairpin stopped in mid-air, "What's wrong, Master Hou? Did he scold you?"

Although Mu Jingyi looks cold and solemn, and rarely speaks to her personal maids, she does not embarrass them for no reason. She was a little surprised when Bi Yan said that it was Mu Jingyi who made her angry.

"Madam," Bi Yan spoke very quickly when she was anxious, "If the Marquis makes you angry, I will naturally be angry with him."

"When did the Marquis make me angry?" Chang Luo Yunhao raised his wrist slightly and inserted the hairpin on his head. The pomegranate flowers inlaid with rubies on the hairpin are bright and bright, making the bun even more shiny and black.

"Then why is Madam crying?" Bi Yan stood behind Chang Luoyun, looking at the beautiful woman in the mirror with a jade-like face, and became more and more resentful, "Madam is beautiful, has a good temperament, and is a stunningly talented actress. Hou What else are you dissatisfied with?" Chang Luoyun couldn't help laughing after hearing what she said.

She turned around and faced Bi Yan, "The Marquis enshrined my grandma's memorial tablet in Wanfu Temple. He only told me today after everything has been arranged. I am happy to be able to pay homage to my grandma from time to time, so..."

Bi Yan was startled, and then she became happy, "With the incense from Wanfu Temple, Mrs. Han will never be lonely there again."

"I think so too." Chang Luoyun was pleased but a little sentimental.

Chang Luoyun was late when he arrived at Mrs. Mu's side because he had to dress up again.

Mrs. Mu had already gotten up, perhaps thinking that she was going to meet Mrs. Cheng Anbo soon. Her complexion was much better than usual. Seeing Chang Luoyun, she smiled and said, "Yun'er, you can have breakfast with me here without the trouble of running around."

As soon as Yun Cai heard this, he cleverly placed an extra set of dishes and chopsticks. Chang Luoyun had breakfast with Mrs. Mu, and then went to the Chuihua Gate to wait for Mrs. Chengan Bo.

Fortunately, the carriage from Cheng'an Bo Mansion arrived before waiting for a while.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Mrs. Cheng Anbo didn't look as domineering as before, and she was also silent for a while. When she saw Mrs. Mu, she stepped forward with a smile and called, "Sister," but she was not as affectionate as before. .

Mrs. Mu just pretended not to notice, and still smiled kindly and said: "You know very well that my legs can't go out, but you haven't come to see me for so long."

Mrs. Cheng Anbo then moved her eyes to Mrs. Mu's legs, "Sister, are your legs feeling better?"

"A few years ago, I couldn't walk at all. Fortunately, Yun'er took good care of me and Yu Lun gave me good medicine. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I can walk more. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to ask you to come over." Mrs. Mu smiled and said: "I have been thinking all day long about when we sisters will meet and let the children get together. As the saying goes, relatives will grow apart if they stay away for a long time, right, sister?"

Mrs. Cheng Anbo forced a smile and said, "What my sister said is that my sister didn't think well."

Mrs. Mu then passed Mrs. Cheng'an Bo, smiled and waved to Xu Lianzhen, "Lianzhen, come here and let your aunt take a good look."

Lian Zhen walked forward with a smile, took Mrs. Mu's hands and called her "aunt" affectionately.

She was wearing a dark green short jacket, a moon-white floral pleated skirt underneath, and a light green gauze jacket outside. She looked thinner and more fresh and smart.

Mrs. Mu reached out and touched her face, looked at her carefully and said with pity, "You have lost weight again. I will ask Yun'er to give you donkey-hide gelatin to replenish your energy and blood later. It is not good for a girl to be too thin."

Lian Zhen said with a smile: "My aunt really cares about me, so she thinks I have lost weight, but other people don't think I have lost weight."

Mrs. Mu clapped her hand and said, "Auntie is not stupid yet, please stop fooling me."

Lian Zhen looked at Chang Luoyun and smiled. A woman standing behind Lian Zhen also took two steps forward, walked up to Mrs. Mu with a smile, and called "Aunt."

The woman has a slightly plump figure, a face like a full moon, and a pair of very lively eyes. Her voice was clear and she smiled before saying anything, "My nephew-in-law is paying my respects to my aunt."

When Xu Youkang got married, Chang Luoyun had not yet married into the Changping Marquis Mansion, and had no chance to move around since then. This was the first time he met Zhang, and Chang Luoyun couldn't help but take a second look at her.

Mrs. Zhang also looked at her with a pair of smiling eyes, and bowed slightly to her, "This is my sister-in-law. I have long heard that my sister-in-law is very popular. After meeting her today, I realized that her appearance is also outstanding."

Chang Luoyun returned the gift with a smile, "My younger brothers and sisters are so beautiful and smart, they are indeed from everyone."

Mrs. Mu looked at the girls and smiled more and more happily: "Today is a rare gathering, and the family does not need those false gifts. Now that the weather is getting hotter, the lotus pond in the Hou Mansion is a good place to escape the summer heat, so we went to the lotus pond to eat Have some snacks to cool off the heat."
