She received a jade pendant from him a few years ago. Looking at it now, she can't tell what it is. It looks like two birds. Are they biwings?
The point is not to be a winged bird, the point is...
"Isn't that a token of gratitude from you?" What kind of token is it? It was passed on to the eldest daughter-in-law. Who should I scare?
"My family is short of gold and silver? How about a personal jade pendant as a token of appreciation?" Mu Yan raised his eyebrows.
"What kind of personal jade pendant, you didn't tell me."
"Aren't I trying to save some face for you in public? I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed."
Huo Xi Luck said, "I need you to save face!"
"Then, how about I go to the city tomorrow to make a fuss? Just tell me, who took the keepsake passed down from my Mu family to the eldest daughter-in-law. They kept it a few years ago."
Huo Xi was so angry that she wanted to bite him so much.
"I didn't realize you were such a scoundrel. Besides, I sold the jade pendant a long time ago. As for Xie Zi, of course it would be more suitable to exchange it for gold and silver. Besides, a few years ago, I was also very short of money."
Mu Yan glanced at her sideways, "I saw who it was last year. There were several jade pendants placed on the table. I clearly saw my family's jade pendant placed among them. Could it be that I saw it wrong?"
Uh... I actually forgot about this.
"I just took it for sale a few days ago."
"A few days ago? That doesn't matter. I sent people to the city to look for it. I guess not many people dare to hide my Mu family's jade pendant at home. Then I will say that the eldest daughter of the Huo family accidentally let her servants steal it and sell it.
Already."
Scoundrel! In this case, wouldn’t others know that this Fang Yupei had been in her hands?
"You don't want me anymore?"
"How do you say this? I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mu family, how can I not wish her well? We share weal and woe. If you are not good, then I am also bad, too?"
Huo Xi was shocked. This stingy young master was so lonely. Did he not expect that he could be so poor in private?
"Who shares weal and woe with you!" She was so angry that she threw a pillow at him.
Mu Yan quickly caught it with quick eyes and hands, with a smile on his face.
He took the pillow and rubbed it again and again, "Your soft pillow is better. My hard pillow made my head go numb when I slept on it. Make me one another day."
What you want is beautiful, I will do it for you! Just wait for you.
Don't want to pay attention to him.
"Girl, we are back. There is no milk in the kitchen. We ordered a bowl of noodles for the girl. The master said that the cow does not produce much milk in winter..."
Huo Xi looked back in panic, but there was no one on the imperial concubine's bed.
Looking towards the window, the window lattice was open, and a cold breeze poured in from the window.
Early in the morning on the third day of the third lunar month, Huo Xi was still asleep and was woken up by An An. He put his cold hand on her face, making her shiver.
"Bad boy, my sister will spank your butt in two."
An An hid next to the curtain and covered her mouth and snickered: "Sister, she must have been stupid in her sleep. Her butt has two parts. Hehe."
Seeing that her sister continued to sleep with squinted eyes and couldn't catch him, she moved her little feet to the edge of the bed, and then moved... until she got to the edge of the bed, not wanting Huo Xi to reach out half of her body and grab her.
He carried him to the bed and spanked him twice. An An twisted his body and laughed.
"Would you like to sleep with your sister for a while?"
The little thing also knew that he was wearing shoes. He stretched his feet out of the bed and raised them high. He shook his head and said, "Sister, play with An An."
"Sister hasn't had enough sleep yet. An An went to play with her brother."
"Brother is practicing kung fu and doesn't want to play with An An."
"Brother is practicing kung fu?" Huo Xi suddenly woke up.
An An lay on Huo Xi and tilted her head to look at her, "Well, brother got up very early and has been practicing for almost an hour. Mom asked An An not to disturb brother."
Since the school is on holiday, the boy has not practiced Kung Fu in the morning and only practices for an hour in the evening. Now, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, he gets up early to practice Kung Fu?
"Okay, sister, let's play with An An." Huo Xi put An An on the ground and got up too.
When she finished washing herself and took An An to the martial arts arena, Huo Nian was sparring with Tayue, Tayue was giving him moves, and Zhufeng was giving guidance.
All three of them were wearing light bunts, the cold wind was biting, their minds were not focused, they didn't feel the cold, they were extremely serious.
"Sister, brother is so awesome! I want to be like him when I grow up." An An encouraged her brother by clapping her hands.
Huo Xi didn't think much about it. Maybe the child was bored during the new year and got up early in the morning to practice.
He lowered his head and glanced at An An, "I want to be like my brother, but I can't sleep in. An An can go up and practice with my brother for a while."
An An stared at her with blinking eyes, then suddenly ran away, "Oh, An An is hungry. Mom has prepared breakfast. Sister, come quickly!"
"This kid." Huo Xi smiled and shook his head. He looked aside for a while and then followed An An.
After breakfast, the siblings played in the courtyard for a while before Huo Nian finished breakfast. Huo Xi thought he would come over to play with An An, but he didn't expect to hear someone say that he went into the study right after breakfast.
Huo Xi was stunned for a moment, asked the servants to look at An An, then turned and went to the study.
Huo Nian was sitting at the table, reciting loudly. Huo Xi listened outside for a while, waited for him to pause, and then pushed the door open and entered.
"elder sister."
Huo Xi glanced at him and walked closer.
After flipping through his desk, he said, "Haven't all the homework assigned by the gentlemen been completed? It's the Chinese New Year and it's time to relax and unwind. An'an is still waiting for you to play with him. Do you want to go see the little girl with him?"
Huo Nian pursed his lips.
Huo Xi was waiting for his answer when he suddenly rushed over and hugged her.
Huo Xi felt that Nian'er felt a little strange today, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night? Or was it a nightmare?"
Huo Nian rubbed her waist and shook his head, "Sister, I just want to read more books and learn more skills."
"Okay." Huo Xi felt pleased and patted his head with a smile, "But we must also pay attention to the balance between work and rest. When you get tired from reading, go and play with An An for a while."
"Um."
Huo Nian stared at his sister's back and clenched his fists. Since his mother was gone, he would definitely protect his sister in the future.
He needs to learn more skills, be a strong person, and not let others bully them. Although he did not grow up in a high-class compound, he is not worse than others.
He picked up the book again and started reading loudly.
During the first month of the year, there were constant calls and guests at the British Duke's Mansion, but Zhang Fu was nowhere to be seen.
Wu followed Zhang Fu for several days, trying to find out the goblin behind Zhang Fu, but she couldn't even find out where Zhang Fu had gone. She was so angry that she smashed several tea sets.
At noon that day, I heard that Zhang Fu was taking Zhang Jin and his son out again. Mrs. Wang sent someone to fetch Zhang Jin's wife An.
"Zhang Jin hasn't been at home these days?"
Mr. An lowered his head and said, "Yes. If the Duke of Guo gives orders, he will always follow the Duke of Guo."
"Where have you gone?"
"This slave doesn't know."
"Your eldest son Zhang Liang, I heard that he went out with his luggage early in the morning on the first day of the new year. Where did he go?"
