The cook is very busy

Chapter 70 It's a lie to say it's not scary
Ziqing squatted on the ground, yawned with his back against the big tree, turned his head slightly, and secretly glanced at the father and son in the garden.

Oh mother, this father and son really look alike, you two are so talkative, what are you talking about, and you left early after talking, she still wants to go back to sleep!
Only then did Mu Guanxiong let the boy carrying the lamp go down, and the father and son just sat in the yard and did not speak again. It has been a quarter of an hour. Is it possible that these two will stand until dawn?

Ziqing smashed his mouth, couldn't help but yawned again, changed into a comfortable position and continued to squat and guard.

The night was dark, the clouds covered the moonlight, accompanied by the phantoms of the plants and trees in the garden, swaying with the night wind, there were a few wisps of wind blowing on people, faintly chilling, as if reminding that late summer is not long, and early autumn is coming.

Mu Guanxiong couldn't help but gathered his clothes. He vaguely remembered that in the garden during the day, the green pines were straight and straight, the green bamboos were peaceful, and there were pleasant scenery everywhere, but at night, it was so cold and desolate.

After a while, he withdrew his mind and sighed secretly, with a tired voice, "Shaoyi, I heard from the boss that the purple jade stone and pear wood incense burner in Lingcheng are all with you now."

Unexpectedly, Mu Guanxiong would ask about this matter, Mu Shaoyi was slightly silent, and then said word by word, "That's right, it's in my hands."

Mu Guanxiong habitually played with the jade wrench in his hand before sending the people from Qi's mansion away. He left everyone behind and said he wanted to visit the garden at night, but he asked the fourth child to accompany him, in order to talk to this kid alone.

If the fourth child wants to play a child's mind and lose his temper, he can let him go, but if the whole Mu family is involved, then he, the master of the house, will have to deal with it!
Mu Guanxiong stroked his beard, "If that's the case, then tell me, why do you want these two things, let's not mention the purple jade stone, and don't say that you don't know about the pear wood aromatherapy burner. Severity. Could it be that you want to use that thing to deal with your father?"

Mu Shaoyi paused suddenly, looked at Mu Guanxiong for a while, closed her eyes gradually, and said lightly, "I don't mean that."

Although he was angry in his heart, facing his biological father, those angry words were still stuck in his throat, unable to utter or swallow.
Seeing his expression, Mu Guanxiong knew what he meant, and secretly smiled. After all, he was born by himself, so it's possible that he really couldn't compete with this old man.

But having said that, knowing a son is like a father, as a father, he knows what kind of temperament the fourth child is like, the brat is stubborn, and he will not turn back until he hits the south wall!

Thinking of this, Mu Guanxiong couldn't help sighing again, this silly boy still can't forget the foolish engagement two years ago, he didn't make all these things because of that girl Yuxuan.

After thinking about it, Mu Guanxiong opened his mouth and asked this kid what he wanted to do. Although he was very reluctant, he had to do it first.

Mu Shaoyi finally heard what he wanted, but he didn't feel any joy. He frowned slightly, "Father, you know very well what I want. At the engagement banquet with Yuxuan two years ago, what kind of relationship did you have with me?" What did Uncle Gu say?"

Mu Guanxiong expected so, no surprises, and said in a flat tone, "Is it important what you said? The Gu family intends to destroy the relationship. I'm just pushing the boat along the way. It's okay to say it earlier. As for making a fuss, it’s better to tear your skin apart.”

"Uncle Gu intends to destroy the relationship? How is this possible? Back then, Yuxuan and I..."

Halfway through Mu Shaoyi's speech, she paused for a moment, and then continued, "The marriage between the Mu and Gu families was not about me and Yuxuan, but about the business interests of the two families. Could it be that the reason why my father regretted his marriage back then was not caused by the outside world?" Said, the Gu family didn't want to merge the jade store with you, and father was angry, so he made this decision?"

Mu Guanxiong's eyes flashed, he didn't speak, just looked at the green pine tree beside him, the lantern was hanging high, standing under the candlelight, he couldn't help but look a little older.

Seeing this, Mu Shaoyi became more certain of her thoughts, and her tone became colder, "Father, since we were young, our four brothers have always acted according to your wishes. We can't choose our own way. The second brother and the third brother didn't want to do business at all. Just for your word, they have to obey."

It wasn't until here that Mu Guanxiong found a sentence that could be refuted. He snorted and said firmly, there is nothing wrong with inheriting the father's career. I have worked hard for most of my life, and what I earned is not for you. If you don't Come to inherit, then my decades of hard work will be in vain! "

A sneer appeared on the corner of Mu Shaoyi's mouth, "Father, if I was young, I might have recognized it, but now, I'm sorry for my child's disapproval. The elder brother used to be friends with the third lady in Liu's mansion, but you went to Zhao's mansion The proposal of marriage was not because of their silk and satin factory. The second elder brother devoted himself to his official career, but you let him join the merchants early on. And the third elder brother, my current third sister-in-law, if she hadn’t had a county magistrate in the Wei family, who would have been in the east of the city? How could a piece of land fall into your hands, the eldest sister, the second sister, and the younger sister are also the same!"

Mu Shaoyi closed her eyes, then opened them again, her voice trembling slightly, "You can even trade your children's lifelong events, how can you make me trust you!"

Mu Guanxiong raised his head sharply, with anger in his eyes, "Presumptuous! How did you talk to your father? This is the book you have read all these years. This is your filial piety, loyalty and trust, and this is your courtesy, righteousness and shame!"

Mu Guanxiong walked back and forth angrily for a few steps, and then shouted again, "The boy should be married at the university, and the girl should be married at the university. What my parents ordered and the matchmaker said, what I have done is worthy of you guys. You can't help but criticize me here." !"

Facing Mu Guanxiong's angry reprimand, Mu Shaoyi did not respond, and the night was thick, covering his face, making it difficult to see whether it was sadness or anger.

After Mu Guanxiong's yelling, there was another silence in the garden, only the panting and sighing still expressed the anger in his heart, he frowned deeply, and turned his body aside.

Ziqing crouched behind the big tree and didn't even dare to move his head, didn't dare to vent his breath. He thought that the two of them were just chatting, but it turned out to be a quarrel.

Her feet are numb right now, so she can only scold herself for being lazy, take a short-cut for what she does in the morning, and take a long way, maybe she's lying on the bed right now, so she doesn't have to suffer here , There is no need to hear such things, they are all things she can't hear!

Ziqing sniffed, thinking about finding something to plug his ears up, if he was caught in a while, could he say he didn't hear anything?

However, she hadn't calmed down yet, and she heard Mu Guanxiong speak again, this time her tone was a little slower and colder, after all, the remaining anger was still there.

He said to Mu Shaoyi, "Since you want to know what happened back then, I can tell you."

Mu Shaoyi paused, not wanting that the doubts that had been haunting her for two years would be solved today, he was somewhat disbelieving, "What you said is true?"

Mu Guanxiong snorted angrily, "I don't need to lie to a kid yet, but I can tell you, I have a condition, I want you to get the triennial court offering for our Mu Mansion."

"What?" Mu Shaoyi was stunned. He looked at Mu Guanxiong, "If you want me to get the court offerings, this... this is possible!"

"How can it be impossible? Anyway, the pear wood material is in your hands, so you can send it to the prince, and you can handle the rest by yourself."

Mu Guanxiong smiled cunningly, and left without waiting for Mu Shaoyi to respond.

The young man who was waiting in the distance earlier kept looking at this side, and hurried over to carry the lantern when he saw this. The two were quite acquainted. Seeing the displeasure on the fourth young master's face, he left behind a lantern, and then quietly followed the master and left. go.

And at this moment, a black shadow sprang out from behind the tree on the opposite side. It was so late at night in a garden full of tree shadows. It would be a lie to say that it wasn't scary.

However, Mu Shaoyi didn't even have time to be frightened. Seeing Ziqing's whole body pressed against him, she said to him with a mournful face, "Fourth Young Master Fu'an..."
