super rich

Walking into the secluded courtyard at the farthest corner of Mujiayuan, Chen Mingyuan glanced at various scenes, and soon saw Mu Jiayin.

In the afterglow of twilight, Mu Jiayin was standing under a camphor tree by the pool. The light blue lake-colored dress on her body was blowing in the wind. It was elegant and elegant, as if she was in the middle of heaven and earth, and she looked particularly charming. She wore a white belt around her waist. , with her head in a high bun, without powder or decoration, the hibiscus came out of the clear water, matched with her beautiful and beautiful face, and her slender and beautiful figure, like a fairy and picturesque.

After several twists and turns and finally met again, Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but feel an unprecedented emotion, and stood there feeling absent-minded for a moment.

Mu Jiayin also saw him, and she showed a startled smile on her face, and said crisply, "You're here, what are you doing there?" Xia color.

Chen Mingyuan stepped over and got closer. Seeing the beauty in her expression, the stunning beauty couldn't help but intensified. He was silent for a while, and smiled: "Sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time."

Mu Jiayin shook her head with a smile, and said: "It's not too long, it's faster than I expected, at least you didn't break your promise." After a pause, her almond eyes scrutinized Chen Mingyuan for a while, and said in a low voice: "You Your injury...are you alright?"

Chen Mingyuan was startled, and asked, "Did Tianfeng tell you?"

Mu Jiayin snorted softly, and asked back: "Is it because the kid didn't tell me that you plan to partner up and hide it from me?"

"I just don't want you to worry any more."

"You don't tell me anything, and I worry even more!"

Mu Jiayin gave him a dissatisfied look, and then sighed: "Fortunately, it's just a mob. If it was replaced by a few Lianjiazi with knives and guns, you let me..."

Chen Mingyuan held her catkin, stroked the warm and greasy snow skin, and said, "It's all right, I'm back well too."

Mu Jiayin lowered her eyes, and as the softness in Xu Qiubo's eyes gradually faded, a gleam of coldness flickered, and said in a concentrated voice: "Have you found the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Chen Mingyuan shook his head, and said, "I still can't guess for sure, but I think that man will not be able to resist surfacing soon." Then, he repeated his speculation about the old man that day.

After listening, Mu Jiayin pondered for a while, then nodded deeply: "It's almost the same as I thought, this matter should not have been invented by Liang Qiru, and it will not be of any benefit to him...Then what are you going to do next? of?"

"Wait!" Chen Mingyuan said bluntly: "Since that person has gone through so much trouble, he must have a plan next. , by then, it will be moths to the flame!"

Mu Jiayin smiled sweetly, rolled her bright eyes, nodded and said, "You are so confident, I will just wait for the good news."

If it was in the past, with Mu Jiayin's wisdom and city government, nine out of ten she would give him advice and revenge, but now, she has gradually gotten used to restraining her edge and letting Chen Mingyuan show her strength.

She understands that she no longer needs to prove anything to the world. For the rest of her life, she just needs to unconditionally support and believe in the man in front of her, and watch him advance step by step to the peak.

After confiding for a while, Chen Mingyuan caught a glimpse of the camphor tree behind her, and suddenly said: "Just now, when you came in, you seemed to be staring at this tree in a daze?"

Mu Jiayin's jade face suddenly became a little shy, and the rosiness of her dimples became more and more intense, but she didn't answer directly, but reminded: "This camphor tree was planted when I was just born..."

Chen Mingyuan was puzzled for a moment.

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Mu Jiayin gritted her silver teeth and stomped her foot lightly, then said in a low voice: "I, my mother said that after a while, I will cut down this tree and make two big boxes." ..."

Chen Mingyuan frowned and thought about it for a while, then his heart beat suddenly before he understood the deep meaning of Mu Jiayin's words.

I remember hearing that in ancient times, when a baby girl was born in a large family in the south of the Yangtze River, a camphor tree would be planted in the courtyard of the home. When the daughter was ready to marry, the camphor tree would also grow.At that time, as long as the matchmaker saw this tree outside the courtyard, she would know that there was a girl waiting to be married in this family, and she could come to propose marriage.When the daughter gets married, the family will cut down the tree, make two big boxes, and put silk in them as a dowry, which means "two boxes of silk".

And this is probably the origin of the hatchback.

"This dowry is quite ingenious." Chen Mingyuan smiled, and stretched out his hand to gently caress the tree trunk that had been baptized by the years.

Mu Jiayin blushed, with a smile on her lips.

After rubbing for a while, Chen Mingyuan was about to withdraw his hand when he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a few lines of words engraved on the tree trunk. After examining it carefully, he found that these lines of words seemed to have been carved a long time ago. With the growth of the tree, now It has long been unreal.

"I engraved this when I was a child. At that time, the tree was as tall as a person. Now the characters have split and grown on it." Mu Jiayin explained beside him, and raised her hand to gesture, and said with great interest: "Do you want to know what is engraved?"

Chen Mingyuan nodded.

Mu Jiayin's face was dizzy, and she pursed her lips, seeming a little hesitant.

Just as he was about to speak, Mu Tianran's greeting came from the arched door, "Sister-in-law, the banquet is about to start. Uncle asked you to invite grandma out first."

Mu Jiayin agreed, looked back at Chen Mingyuan, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it later, I'll invite my mother first, and you can sit in the back hall for a while...behave better at night."

After finishing speaking, she walked away lightly with a hint of shyness in her mouth.

…………

At night, the Mujiayuan is decorated with lights and streamers.

After all, it is just Xiaoshou, and the scale is much smaller than before. There are not even many guests who come to the door. There are only two large tables and two small tables in the back hall. In addition to the Mu family, there are also a few Taiwan compatriots and Chinese from Europe and America. It is said that they are all members of the Mu family who left the mainland in the early years. Although there are relatively few contacts on weekdays, as the mainland's economy takes off, the exchanges have gradually increased.

On this day, taking advantage of the old lady's birthday, visiting the door is probably just to get acquainted with her.

When the time came, Mu Dingyin, Mu Jiayin and the others pushed the old lady out. According to the usual procedure, the guests came forward to greet and give gifts one by one. The gifts were endless and various.

When it was Chen Guoliang's uncle and nephew's turn, Chen Guoliang first said a few words of congratulations, and then Chen Mingyuan took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, holding the gift box with both hands.

It seems that they have heard about it earlier. At this moment, the atmosphere of the audience suddenly became quieter, including Mu Lunyin and others, all of whom were staring at the old lady's reaction. Perhaps many people understand that once the old lady accepts this A congratulatory gift is equivalent to acquiescing to this marriage.

"The last time I gave this Buddhist scripture, I don't know if you like it or not. Some time ago, I heard that your birthday is approaching. In order to prepare for this birthday gift, I also spent a lot of brainpower. Finally, I listened to the guidance of the elders in the family and friends. It was recommended by someone, so I asked someone to find this hanging seal made of sheep fat jade, and I hope you can always take a look at it."

Chen Mingyuan opened the gift box, and held it in front of the old lady respectfully.

The old lady squinted her eyes, she didn't know whether she was looking at the birthday gift or the young man in front of her, the gleam in her eyes flickered, and after a while, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she nodded and said: "You have a heart. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pick up the monkey climbing maple hanging seal, stroked it, nodded slightly, and gradually showed a satisfied look on his face.

In order to find this treasure, the Chen family also put in a lot of thought this time, and finally got it from a famous old collector in Zhonghai through the relationship of the old man. The sheep fat white jade is the best white jade. The fat jade has a head and feet, and it can be lifted into the water without dripping water. Moreover, the engraving of this Fenghou Hanging Seal is exquisite, and it is from the hands of a master. The implication is that it is most popular with powerful people.

Now that Mu Dingyin is a member of the political/bureau committee, his future political prospects are bright. It is undoubtedly very satisfying for the Chen family to present this birthday gift.

The old lady weighed it in and put it back. After letting Mu Lunyin accept it, she said, "Take that thing out."

Mu Lunyin nodded in agreement, took a mahogany box from the coffee table behind her, and handed it to the old mother.

The old lady opened the box, and when she took out a red rope Jade Avalokitesvara, the faces of Mu Dingyin, Dong Zhenying and others all changed. Others may not know it, but how can their relatives not know about this Jade Avalokitesvara? of significance.

The old lady believes in Buddhism, but she is more resigned. There is no Buddhist hall at home, and she does not force her children and grandchildren to eat fast and chant Buddhism. When her husband died in the disaster of the Great Revolution, all thoughts were lost. She went to Putuo, Zhoushan, and met an old nun who said The old lady had a predestined relationship with Guanyin, and after listening to her Dharma for half a year, the old lady gradually became peaceful. Soon after, the old nun passed away.

The Jade Guanyin was a "relic" given to the old lady by the old nun, so it is of great significance

"It's an old custom for men to wear Avalokitesvara and women to wear Buddha. I got this Jade Avalokitesvara by chance. My children and grandchildren don't believe it, so I'll give it to you as a gift in return." The old lady stroked the jade The jade statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva put it around Chen Mingyuan's neck with his own hands, and said softly: "In the eyes of ordinary people, this statue of Guanyin is not as eye-catching as your seal, but it means a lot to me. , since it is a family, I hope you will pass it on from generation to generation."

"There are too many things that can be changed and diluted by the years, and there are too many vanity temptations in this world, and the human heart is just the most changeable. I don't expect you to be superstitious about gods, but I still hope that this thing can Help you keep a little bit of your heart, and don't forget your original obsession."

These words are tantamount to entrusting their daughter to Chen Mingyuan, and hope that the two of them can pass on this token from generation to generation in the future.

Mu Jiayin watched this scene quietly, and when she was ashamed, her eyes were covered with mist.

Chen Mingyuan felt the solemnity almost like a ceremony, looked at the Jade Guanyin on his neck, and bowed deeply.

The old lady finally smiled with relief.
