Mu Changkuan held Baozhu tightly in his arms, lowered his head, and repeated over and over again: "Baozhu, I am your wooden brother. I finally found you. I am Mu Changkuan, do you remember? You
When you were three years old, you gave me a sweet potato. When you were five years old, I took you to play in the mountains and almost lost you. When you were eight years old, I made you a chair. A few years ago, you were in the village.
Send me away..."
At the end of his speech, he was already choked up. Those scenes seemed not far away, they were still vivid in his mind.
In his memory, the little girl with pigtails overlapped with the beautiful grown-up girl in front of him, which made him feel so unreal!
Baozhu took it and said with bright eyes: "That day you were leaving, I gave you five big steamed buns as a gift."
"Yes, you still remember me." Mu Changkuan smiled and let her go, thinking that it would be fine if he found her. He would visit her grandfather some other time and propose a kiss.
Bao Zhu also smiled, but was thinking about other things: "You said you would bring me a windmill and a candied haws windmill when you came back?"
Mu Changkuan couldn't laugh or cry: "We haven't seen each other for so many years, but you only think about windmills and candied haws. You don't miss me?"
Bao Zhu blinked her big eyes and said cutely: "I think so!"
Just as Mu Changkuan was about to feel better, he heard Baozhu continue: "I was wondering when you would come back with the windmill and candied haws"
"You little girl, you haven't changed at all in all these years. I'll make up for it all for you." You are such a heartless little girl. Mu Changkuan reached out and touched her soft hair, and felt completely soft in his heart.
"Then I'll treat you to dinner!" Baozhu said as the courtesy was reciprocated.
Mu Changkuan said: "It's my turn to treat you. Today's treat doesn't count. It's too hasty. I'll treat you to a nice meal another day. Is your grandpa okay now?"
Baozhu nodded: "Grandpa is very good, he can eat three bowls of rice in one meal."
"That's good. I'll go see him another day. Why are you here with the Shen family?" Could it be that she is married to the young master of the Shen family? But it seems that I heard that the young master of the Shen family is not married!
"My godfather brought me and my godmother to dinner."
Mu Changkuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mrs. Mu who finally couldn't help it. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that her son who rarely smiled could smile so frequently.
When the two of them were talking, there seemed to be a tacit understanding that made it difficult for others to interrupt.
If the daughter-in-law of the Shen family was her daughter-in-law, she would still be a good match, but it would be different for her as a daughter-in-law. From her son's tone, it seemed that this girl was born in the countryside, and she suddenly felt a little alienated in her heart. She said to Mu Changkuan
: "So, you and Baozhu know each other?"
"Mom, she is the girl I often say was very kind to me. She saved Uncle Xu and I with a sweet potato." Mu Changkuan enthusiastically introduced the orb to his mother.
Mrs. Mu smiled at Baozhu: "Baozhu, thank you very much for saving my son, but it's getting late now. You can talk about old times some other time! There are probably many guests downstairs waiting for us to thank our guests, and Baozhu's godfather and stepmother are also here.
It’s time to rush”
Mu Changkuan only focused on looking at the orb and did not notice the change in his mother's tone.
Bao Zhu was even more incompetent. Bao Zhu was a little sleepy. She yawned and followed Mrs. Mu downstairs. She really wanted to sleep!
On the way back, Baozhu fell asleep while sitting in the car, leaning on the eldest lady's shoulder.
Shen Zhiqi was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he took off his coat and handed it to the eldest lady: "Put it on Baozhu, don't catch a cold."
"This child sleeps soundly." The eldest lady smiled and gently put Shen Zhiqi's coat on Baozhu.
Shen Zhiqi said: "This child is so painful and wronged. He doesn't cry or make trouble. He is very like a girl."
The eldest lady nodded, and then after a while she raised her head and asked Shen Zhishan: "How do you plan to deal with Xinru's matter?"
"From now on, she is not allowed to come within ten steps of the orb. This child has also been spoiled by me and her aunt, and has become more and more outrageous. Fortunately, the Mu family did not go into details today, otherwise she would dare to kill people in the Mu family's yard.
Isn't that a slap in Brother Mu's face? It simply doesn't give the Mu family face. If they were severely punished, they could be sent to justice. But Brother Mu spared her for my sake, but she offended Mu Changkuan. I'm afraid
She belongs to Taiyuan's upper class society, and there will be no room for her in the future. She will probably not be invited to any upper class gatherings in the future." In fact, Zhou Xinru was not specially invited this time. How could she have the face?
Her father was invited and she just participated on his behalf, but she didn’t want to bring up such a trap.
He couldn't just let this matter go. He had to give the Mu family some face. After thinking about it, Shen Zhiqi said: "Her aunt is not allowed to see her again within a month to avoid suspicion. I think her Zhou family will have something to do with it."
The best way to deal with it is to think about your mistakes behind closed doors."
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived home, the servant said that the Zhou family had called several times and asked if Shen Zhiqi was back, and sounded very anxious.
Shen Zhiqi called back and comforted Mr. Zhou for a few words. He then heard Mr. Zhou say: "Xinru is so ridiculous. I will book a banquet for your whole family another day. I will treat it as a way to calm Baozhu's shock."
"Baozhu is the second best. What are you going to do with the Mu family?"
"Send a gift, come to the door to apologize, and symbolically imprison the girl for a month, so that she is not allowed to go out." If you go out, you are afraid that someone will throw rotten eggs, but not going out may be a kind of protection.
After hearing this, Shen Zhiqi said: "It's more appropriate for you to do this. I don't think it will affect your Zhou family. The Mu family is also reasonable. People who know right from wrong should not argue with you on this trivial matter."
Mr. Zhou sighed: "I hope! After things calm down, I will find someone far away and marry her, so that I won't have to worry all day long."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhiqi went to the eldest wife's room. He saw that she was not asleep yet. She had taken a bath and was wearing a nightgown and was sitting in front of the mirror applying perfume. He asked, "Has Baozhu fallen asleep?"
"I drank some ginger syrup and then fell asleep." She was a little surprised as to why the master came to her room today, but she was smart enough not to ask. If she did, she would look unfamiliar.
Mr. Shen hadn't stayed in the eldest wife's room for a long time. He happened to see her wearing a sexy nightgown and her long hair shawl. He suddenly felt that although her current appearance was not as bright and attractive as the beautiful second wife, she still had her own charm.
The charm of a mature woman that naturally exudes from every gesture is something that a second wife does not have.
