Mu Jie had already recognized the Huo family. That year when he returned to the capital from Songjiang, he encountered water thieves and stayed one night on the Huo family's boat. His mother was still there that year.
Mu Jie's eyes darkened.
He didn't remember much about his childhood, but what happened that day was so clear that he remembered it as soon as Huo Nian told him about it. He was very happy, and he even regarded the Huo family's elder brothers and younger brothers as real brothers. To Huo Xi and Yang
It's also more affectionate.
Mrs. Yang was afraid that he would miss his mother at night, so she asked him to live in the same room with Huo Nian.
Every night Huo Nian told him a lot of interesting things. All of this was too new for Mu Jie. He fell asleep after listening to it and didn't cry again at night.
When he gets up every morning, he doesn't stay in bed and imitates Huo Nian to take care of himself.
There was nothing he could do if he didn't take care of it. He didn't have any maids to help him. His cousin was so cruel that he didn't even let him take care of a maid. He didn't let him know about the two secret guards hiding in the dark.
Yang would help in the first few days, but later he could take care of himself, except that he couldn't comb his hair, dress, fold quilts, or wash himself.
Every morning after having breakfast at Huo's house, he would happily go to the book school with Huo Nian after saying goodbye to his brother An An. In the evening, after everyone had finished school, he would stay with Huo Nian and practice horse steps with Master Wu.
He was in poor health, and Master Wu was not too strict with him.
After school, he and Huo Nian would go to Qin Changzhi's place for private lessons. Then he would return to Huo's house and compete with Huo Nian and Huo An for dinner. He could cook a big bowl in one meal and the amount of food would be better than what he would eat in his own house.
There is a lot more. And the food tastes delicious.
Waiting for Xiu Mu, I went to play in the workshop with my elder brother and younger brother. We had so much fun that we didn’t miss Shu.
Within a few days, my body was healed visibly.
When Mu Xin and Yan received the news, they breathed a sigh of relief. They also sent a lot of food to the Huo family, and they were relieved that he would live there.
During this period, Mu Yan often came to Huo's house to see Mu Jie.
Yang was used to him coming and going in her house, but Huo Xi frowned tightly.
This stingy young man, like an older man, treats his home as his home as soon as he comes, and is not polite at all. Her mother just asked politely if she wanted to have dinner at home, and he nodded.
Is her food better and more delicious than that of the Houfu chef?
"We are vegetarian during this period." The stingy young master had a dull look in his eyes and elegant movements, but he ate a lot.
Just for the sake of eating meat and an excuse to see my cousin, come to someone else's house and eat in public? That's no one else.
Mu Jie was always very happy when his brother came. As soon as his brother came, he no longer felt like a guest. He even invited his brother to eat this and that, as if he were the master.
He likes to eat at Huo's house. Even the youngest An'an sits at the table and eats with everyone. He likes such a lively atmosphere.
An An didn't know how to use chopsticks, so Sister Xi'er made him a wooden spoon and gave him a wooden plate. He put the rice and vegetables on the plate and asked him to scoop it up and eat it himself.
My brother won't eat everywhere. Sister Xi'er hung a piece of cloth around his neck. If the food falls into it, he will pick it up and eat it without wasting anything.
He likes to watch his younger brother eat. Every time his younger brother eats well, he eats well too. He sits next to his younger brother. When the younger brother finishes eating the vegetables in the basin, he will give him delicious food. He likes to serve his younger brother some delicious food.
Mu Yan's eyes flashed when he saw that Jie'er's appetite was much larger. After eating one bowl, he went to refill half a bowl.
"Brother An'an, what else do you want to eat? I'll give it to you."
I saw that my cousin not only took good care of himself, but also took care of his younger brother. He was no longer the child who had to be chased by the wet nurse and maid to feed him when he ate at the Mu Mansion.
Mu Yan raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Huo Xi. He felt that it was right to send Jie'er to the Huo family.
Mu Yan did not leave after dinner, but told several children stories about the battlefield in the Huo family courtyard.
Maybe men, no matter how big or small, are all passionate. There are several children, big and small, Youqing and the others, even Zhu Feng Ta Yue listened with great interest.
This guy came to Huo's house even more diligently.
When the day doesn't come, Mu Jie will still pull Huo Nian and Huo An at the door and look forward to it.
Today, he came again.
Huo Xi just wanted to touch his forehead. Before Huo Xi could say anything, he said, "Jie'er has lived here for a while. I haven't been to Mochou Lake to take a cruise. I'll take them to have dinner on the boat."
I came here for my younger brother, so it’s hard to blame him. Just young master, can you tell me in advance that cooking a lot of food at home won’t be a waste?
"You can still eat it tomorrow."
"Save it for tomorrow on such a hot day?"
Mu Yan looked away and clasped his hands behind his back: "Send it to the workshop to give the craftsmen extra food."
When the children heard that they were going to have dinner on the cruise ship, they jumped in and let them go. Yang was not worried, so the whole family went. In the end, the extra meals had to be sent to the workshop.
The boat swayed slowly in Mochou Lake, and several children clung to the edge of the boat to watch the excitement, chattering happily.
Mu Yan stared at Mu Jie for a few times and felt happy when he saw that his health had improved and that he was lively and energetic. "My fourth uncle and Grandma Yan said that they wanted to come and thank your family."
Huo Xi waved her hands in panic: "No, no, your family sends a bunch of food every few days. I've already thanked you. Mu Jie, a little person, can't eat so much, so we all eat too. My family doesn't either
Whatever you do, don't come here. If others know Mu Jie's identity, he won't feel comfortable staying here. If you miss Mu Jie, take him back to your house to stay for a few days."
Mu Yan nodded.
Huo Xi breathed a sigh of relief. But don't come to the door all the time. As soon as her mother heard that the noble man came to the door, she worked hard for several days without saying anything. She didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and she couldn't sleep well at night.
After Mu Jie's affairs were arranged, Huo Xi wanted to leave for Songjiang, but he was delayed again. Gong Ziyi came to Beijing.
When Gong Ziyi came to Beijing this time, Huo Xi found it strange that he no longer called her "virtuous brother", nor did he put his arm around her shoulders as soon as he came up, but he also looked at her secretly from time to time.
"What's wrong with you? Are your eyes lame?"
Gong Ziyi immediately became furious: "Your eyes are just lame."
Right, this is normal. "What are you doing in the capital?"
"There is also property belonging to my palace family in the capital. My grandfather has designated part of the property as my private property. I came here to take a look."
"Awesome, it seems that you are very favored by your grandfather, and now the family property will be classified as your private property."
Gong Ziyi looked proud: "Then, who made me favored? However, these properties are not family property, but my grandfather's own private property. They were just given to me in advance."
In the evening, Huo Xi planned to invite Yang Fu to treat him to a delicious meal, but he refused.
"Just don't disturb your uncle. He is busy with his marriage and the shop. Can't you let him have a rest?"
Huo Xi thought so, so she had no choice but to take Ta Yue to Mochou Lake. She didn't see Gong Ziyi let out a sigh of relief.
After drinking and eating, Huo Xi looked at him: "You are really weird this time."
"What's weird?" Gong Ziyi felt a little uncomfortable.
"In the past, I wanted to snatch everything I wanted to eat, and ate meat and drank wine from a big bowl in front of me, looking so wanton. How come you are so slow this time? Have you asked the nuns in the palace to teach you the rules?"
Gong Ziyi couldn't help but rolled his eyes at her.
He must have misjudged it last time, because instead of seeing the virtuous sister in front of him, he was clearly the virtuous younger brother who always quarreled with others.
