Xu Jingchang is now the most favored person in the Wei Dynasty. His father died because of the new emperor, and he succeeded to the Duke Dingguo's title when he was only fifteen years old.
His aunt is the queen, the prince is his cousin, and his grandfather is the adopted son of the founding emperor. Who in the capital doesn't fawn over him?
It can be said that the wind gets the wind and the rain gets the rain.
Seeing Mu Yan going through a difficult journey, I felt pity and helped him in every possible way.
But there are some things that Mu Yan will not reveal too much to his cousin. It's not that he doesn't trust him, it's just that the two of them carry different things.
"I heard that my cousin is pregnant. Congratulations to my cousin."
Xu Jingchang smiled sheepishly: "She has only been pregnant for two months, and her mother was worried that her pregnancy would be unstable, so she was not allowed to visit her grandmother this time."
"Grandma has returned to Beijing to live permanently, and there will be many opportunities in the future."
"Yes. There are plenty of opportunities."
While the two were talking, Kan Er came in with two food boxes: "Master, Miss Huo made some food with foreign fruits and filled two food boxes."
As soon as Mu Yan heard this, he asked him to come closer. Xu Jingchang was also very interested and opened the food box with Mu Yan to take a look.
Seeing that they were all pastries and snacks, they were small and exquisite, with many varieties, so I picked them up one by one to eat.
"Yeah, it's soft and chewy, and the filling is delicious, sweet and not greasy. It's delicious." Xu Jingchang ate several pieces and nodded repeatedly.
Mu Yan didn't really like sweet things, but he ate several pieces.
"There are also a few jars of sweet drinks here, which are also made from the juice of the fruit. Master, you and Duke Ding have a taste."
Seeing Kan Er unpacking two cans and handing them to Li Yi aside, Mu Yan followed them with his eyes.
Kan Er stepped forward to block his gaze: "Master, this is what Miss Huo gave to me and Li Yi by name. You can't steal it."
Mu Yan glared at him. Is he the kind of person who grabs food from his subordinates?
He unpacked a can and handed it to Xu Jingchang. He also picked up a can and smelled it first. There seemed to be a sweet milky aroma, which was very pleasant.
After taking a brief sip, Xu Jingchang shouted that it tasted good and drank half the can.
There was half a can left, but he stopped drinking. He just said: "Leave this half can to your cousin. She is vomiting whatever she eats now, so I just want to give her some of this people's food. Maybe she can eat some."
thing."
Seeing that there were still two cans left, Mu Yan said, "Take one can away, leave the remaining one for grandma and aunt to taste, and pick up some of these pastries and take them back."
"Okay, then I'm not polite. My mother and my mother-in-law tried all kinds of food for her so that she could have one more mouthful of food, but it hurt her mouth and she would vomit whenever she ate."
After he picked some, Mu Yan asked Kan Er to keep some and give the rest to the princess, grandmother, aunt and other people to taste.
When people in the hall tasted this foreign food, they all wondered whether it was their first time eating it or whether it was really delicious. Everyone was full of praise.
The Mu Mansion in the capital quickly integrated into the capital, and there were big and small banquets from time to time. After Xu returned to the capital, the princess's illness improved slightly and she was able to go out occasionally.
On the other hand, over there in Yunnan Prefecture, there were dark clouds.
Jun, the side wife of the Marquis of Xiping, was furious when she learned that her eldest brother had sent a killer to rob and kill Mu Yan and others, but the operation failed.
He ran to his parents' house angrily and scolded his parents, brothers and others bloody.
Mr. Jun frowned: "Your eldest brother is doing this for your own good. If Mu Yan is not eliminated, will this title fall into Zhan'er's hands? The wolf cub is now in the capital, right under the emperor's nose. If he gets favored by the emperor,
, and what’s going on with Zhan’er?”
Mu Junshi looked angry: "I didn't stop him from doing it, but there was still time to do it. Wang'er was still on the boat, and he let people do it. Did he not care about Wang'er's life at all? Wang'er is yours too.
grandson!"
"Can your eldest brother still not know that Wang'er is on the boat? That's why outsiders will not suspect us. Don't you see that the Marquis has no doubts about our family? He just thought it was a water thief. Besides, your eldest brother has given orders.
I won’t do anything to Wang’er.”
"What if I missed it? I heard that the whole ship was on fire that night. What if Wang'er couldn't hide in time?" Mu Junshi's heart ached whenever she thought about her youngest son being buried in the flames.
Mr. Jun frowned: "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. If Mu Yan can be killed in one fell swoop, Wang'er will die a worthy death."
Mu Junshi opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "Dad, he is your grandson, your direct grandson! Don't you love him the most? But now you say such things."
Junhua didn't want to see his father and daughter arguing.
He stepped forward to pull her away: "Isn't Wang'er okay? Your elder brother said that he told people to avoid Wang'er. You still don't believe your elder brother? Look at what happened to your elder brother by that wolf cub.
Don’t you feel bad? His legs are broken and he will be lying in bed for the rest of his life. Don’t you feel bad just looking at him? He has the heart to eat that wolf cub alive.”
Mu Junshi suddenly became quiet when she heard her mother mention her eldest brother.
Her eldest brother was taught by his father step by step since he was a child, and he was raised to be the hope of the whole family. In the future, the Jun family will also be handed over to his eldest brother.
Unexpectedly, his legs were broken by that wolf cub Mu Yan, and he could only lie in bed for the rest of his life.
Mr. Jun thought of his outstanding eldest son. There were so many noble families in Yunnan Mansion, and no one in the chieftain's family could compare with Ming Zhang.
Unexpectedly, the wolf cub tortured Ming Zhang's legs, leaving him paralyzed on the bed in pain.
Mingzhang hated it, and so did he. Mingzhang wished he could eat the wolf cub's skin and flesh alive, and he wanted to eat him too!
As long as the Jun family is with him, that wolf cub will never be able to become the Marquis of Xiping.
Seeing the hatred in her father and mother's eyes, Mu Junshi sighed deeply: "I'm going to see my eldest brother."
Before entering Jun Mingzhang's yard, he heard teasing laughter coming from a distance. The closer he got, the louder the sound became.
The sound of rumbling and laughing inside reached Mu Jun's ears, which was unbearable.
"Climb, crawl over, come on, come to me and eat it... Yes, that's it, eat it bit by bit... Hiss, um, yes, that's it... Hahaha
…”
Mu Junshi closed her eyes in pain.
His eldest brother was so famous that he was unrivaled among the young men from aristocratic families in Yunnan Mansion. People who wanted to marry him back then could queue up from the city gate to the gate of Jun Mansion.
But now he can only stay in the house and collapse on the bed.
Mu Yan, you wolf cub, you and I are at odds with each other!
In the Guangfeng Shui shop in the outer city, Kan Er found Huo Xi again, bringing with him the cloth and jewelry rewarded by the Duke of Dingguo.
"After Mrs. Dingguo became pregnant, she vomited whenever she ate, but after drinking your sweet coconut milk drink and eating the snacks you made with shredded coconut, she was able to eat. Duke Dingguo and his wife were overjoyed.
Let me see if you still have those things at home."
"There are still about ten more. However, they are all my brother's favorite things, and he protects them very well." Huo Xi was a little embarrassed.
"That's great. Please make sure you part with me, young master. I will tell Duke Dingguo about it. His family's sacred heart is prosperous. It will be beneficial to your family if you have good relations with him. You will also be able to do business in Beijing."
