The cook is very busy

Chapter 56

When Mu Shaofeng came to the front yard, he met the old lady and greeted her, and then rushed to Hexing Hall.

Hexing Hall is in a remote corner of the front yard, and two servants are guarding the door, waiting for orders.

The outside of the house is surrounded by precious flowers and trees, which are growing well at this time, and through the wooden window, they are ostentatiously inviting the people in the house to pet them.

However, Mu Guanxiong didn't pay attention, holding an ink pen, staring at the rice paper on the Nanmu desk, frowning.

When Mu Shaofeng went in, seeing this scene, he didn't dare to disturb him, and went forward quietly.

I saw the words "Xianyun Yehe" written on the paper, and everything else was good, but the wooden word "Xiannei" was left blank, and the pen was not written for a long time.

Mu Shaofeng stepped forward to help grind, "Father, did you practice this word today?"

Mu Guanxiong replied as if he hadn't heard it before, and it didn't change because there was one more person in the room.

He is holding a pen and gesturing on the rice paper. It is really difficult to write too lightly and too frivolously.

After a stalemate for a while, Mu Guanxiong still couldn't find a good place to start, so he had to rush the last stroke.

In the end, it was because he had more than enough heart but not enough energy. It seemed that he would never want to be an idler in his life.

Passing the writing brush in his hand to his son beside him, Mu Guan didn't even look at it carefully, and left the desk.

When he came to the outer hall, Mu Guanxiong sat on the chair. Xu Shi had just stood for a long time, so he couldn't help but snorted comfortably, and then he spoke.

"I heard from Brother Mu Xi outside the door that you've been running here these two days, what's wrong?"

Mu Shaofeng couldn't keep up with his father's change, he was slightly stunned, hurried over to pour a cup of tea and served it, and sat down.

After Mu Guanxiong sipped his mouth lightly, he said, "Father, that pear wood incense burner with animal ears..."

Mu Guanxiong coughed lightly, and removed the teacup from his lips, "Well, the tea is cold."

When Mu Shaofeng heard this, he called the two servants at the door, and asked them to change another cup, and bring some refreshments that had to be eaten.

The people who were waiting to be dismissed all left, and Mu Shaofeng recounted the events of the previous few days.

At the end he hesitated for a while, and said again, "Father, the purple jade stone and incense burner in Lingcheng are all in the hands of the fourth brother at the moment."

Mu Guanxiong didn't speak when he heard the words. He was silent for a moment, put down the teacup, and asked unhurriedly.

"Feng'er, do you know what that pear wood aromatherapy stove means to our Mu family, and even the entire Mu family industry?"

"Father, child..."

Unexpectedly, his father would ask such a question, Mu Shaofeng had nothing to say for a while, he was already prepared to be scolded, but this made him feel so embarrassing.

The pear wood incense burner was prepared by my father for the three-year court offering. Three years ago, their family lost to their old opponent, and it was this wood that they lost.

The materials they used to make wooden cabinets, tables and chairs are all old avocados, and they have been stored for a long time, and the oil and water in the wood have dispersed. Although they still have some appearance, these materials are actually dry chaff. It sucks.

In the past two years, my father sent many people out, and finally found this new material some time ago.Although the color is light, but the oil is very rich, and the lines are surrounded by the atmosphere and greasy.

At that time, my father ordered someone to bring a piece back, and he asked a skilled craftsman to carve and grind it to make a new look.

Firstly, it is to deceive people, and secondly, it is also to please people. When it is sent to the palace in the future, it will definitely win a good intention.

His father gave him the wood because he valued him, but now he made something bad happen in his house.

He just said in the room earlier that this aromatherapy burner was just something displayed at a street stall, and he bought it because he saw it well.

He wanted to say something inconspicuous, so as not to attract people's attention, but unexpectedly, it backfired.

As Mu Shaofeng thought about it, the expression on his face became more and more guilty. His father was so cautious, but he was nothing when it came to him.

Mu Guanxiong is a father after all, seeing his son like this, he didn't say much, "Then what exactly do you want, your fourth brother?"

"He, the fourth brother said, he just wanted to understand that Yuxuan had already engaged him that year, why..."

While talking, Mu Shaofeng carefully raised his head, looked at his father, saw that he was not angry, and spoke again.

"As for the matter of father's coming to withdraw from the marriage, the fourth brother, he just said that he didn't want to be kept in the dark."

Mu Guanxiong's eyes sank, and after a long time, Fang sighed, shook his head, and said a word without beginning or end.

"It's really not that the whole family doesn't enter the house, and they are just as stubborn."

Mu Shaofeng didn't understand what he heard, and was about to ask in detail, but saw that Mu Guanxiong had got up and went to the desk.

"Okay, you go back, I have made arrangements for this matter, and the things are still in the hands of our own family, it's not a bad thing!"

Mu Shaofeng didn't know what to say, so he had to bow his head, "Father is right, the child will go down first."

Mu Guanxiong changed the paper on the table, and picked up the brush again, "Boss, your mother asked Mu Fu to pack up the outer study at noon, and you can go back to the room to rest today."

After Mu Shaofeng heard this, he immediately raised his head, "Father, what are you?"

"Yesterday your daughter-in-law came to the front yard, crying and crying in a bad way, it's not a big deal, if you get annoyed, forget it.

It's just a quarrel between the couple. Do you need to be so conspicuous so that the servant girl can see the joke. "

Mu Guanxiong said casually, his eyes fell on the blank rice paper, as if thinking about something.

Mu Shaofeng was still angry, but when he heard that his daughter-in-law made trouble with his parents because of this matter, he became even more angry.

"Father, you don't know, this time it's all due to her being greedy, otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed fourth brother to succeed!"

Mu Guanxiong still didn't raise his head, "Okay, think about your two children, and go back to the house and talk to your wife in a while, and ask her to bring the two little ones back."

Mu Shaofeng was reluctant, "But Dad, I..."

Mu Guanxiong's voice sank, "Don't worry about it, that's what I meant too. It's been more than half a year, and my in-laws have also let go."

Mu Shaofeng's face was sullen, and he was still about to argue, so he heard the first sentence "Family and everything will prosper", which made him speechless.

After being silent for a while, seeing his father's thoughts on the desk, stained with new ink and waiting to write, he had no time to pay attention to his side.

Mu Shaofeng finally agreed with a mixed feeling, and went out of the house.

The room fell silent for a while, only Xuan pens falling to paper, splashing ink and swiping freely.

Looking at the words "Hide your strengths and bide your time" on the table, the corners of Mu Guanxiong's mouth curled up, and low smiles drifted out of the window.

I originally thought that the fourth child, who was studying, would not be able to get out of those four books and five classics.

But if you want to talk about a gentleman in this business, it can't be done. It's just that he didn't expect that the scholar's tricks are so smooth that no one can find any mistakes.

good!Good boy, have some ability!
