Thinking that Yuan Min was about to take part in the imperial examination, she felt excited and uneasy at the same time.
His phoenix eyes were raised slightly, and a casual smile appeared in the corner of his mouth.
"I just said that there is no need to say thank you between you and me. I have helped you and you asked Doudou to accompany my mother and concubine. I should also thank you."
When he mentioned Doudou, his eyes showed infinite tenderness.
During this period, Doudou went to accompany the concubine every other day. The concubine was extremely happy, and the queen mother was also overjoyed.
She didn't know that she liked Doudou when he was her grandson, but she liked him even more when she found out.
Su Mu'er nodded lightly and pondered for a moment. She raised her pure eyes and looked at him,
"I am planning to go on a long trip next month. During this time, I can see that the concubine really likes to do so. I will ask the concubine to take care of me when the time comes."
"Where are you going?"
"Northern Xinjiang."
Without thinking, she gritted her teeth and said that it was inevitable to go see her grandfather and father.
Hearing her answer, Ye Shihan's cold and handsome face was suddenly full of doubts.
His phoenix eyes have been watching her. This woman is going to Northern Xinjiang to see her family?
It was extremely cold in the northern Xinjiang. Even strong men could easily catch wind and cold if they went there. How could she go there as a woman? How could she withstand it?
But he did not continue to ask. He knew that once she decided something, it would be useless for him, a person she rejected, to say more.
So he looked at her with eyes like midnight stars, nodded, and then said softly:
"Okay, the mother-in-law must be asking for it. She will take good care of Doudou."
If the mother-in-law knew this news, she would definitely be extremely happy. She wished that Doudou could stay with her all day and all night.
The day of the imperial examination came in a blink of an eye. Before Yuan Min left, Su Muer personally arranged his clothes, then raised her hand and punched him on the shoulder.
"Just work hard and don't care too much about the results. Third sister believes in you."
"Come on, little uncle, Doudou is waiting for your good news. You must be the top scorer."
Doudou clenched his fists and looked up at him with his plump little mouth.
Yuan Min nodded heavily, raised his fists and clenched them, "Don't worry, Third Sister, don't worry Doudou, I will bring honor to my grandfather and father."
She nodded heavily and patted his shoulder,
"Go ahead, the emperor will personally interrogate you today. As long as you show your talents, you will not be buried."
"The third sister is right, so that's why I have confidence. The third sister is waiting for my good news."
After saying that, he left with confidence.
Doudou held Su Muer's hand and stood at the door, watching him leave Wutong Lane and disappear into the street.
"Mom, what do you think my handsome brother will do if my uncle fails to pass the exam?"
Doudou pursed his lips and looked at Su Muer with big furry eyes, "Handsome brother doesn't want to marry those two women."
She lowered her eyebrows, raised her hand and touched his head, and said softly:
"Doudou, this is his business and has nothing to do with us. Besides, adult matters are not something you, a child, should worry about."
"Why does it have nothing to do with us?" Doudou's childish voice contained a little dissatisfaction, "He made the bet with the emperor so that my uncle could take part in the imperial examination. If he loses because of this, wouldn't we have failed our benefactor?
"
Su Muer was stunned for a while after hearing this.
But she didn't want to discuss this matter with him anymore.
"Okay, it's time for you to go to school. I don't have my uncle with you today, so my mother will send you off."
"Really?" Doudou opened his big dark eyes happily, "That's great, mother hasn't given Doudou a gift for a long time."
Seeing his excited look, Su Muer suddenly felt a little sorry for him. She really didn't spend much time with him recently.
Holding his little hand, she was walking on the way to school when she was suddenly blocked by someone. Just as she was about to speak, Doudou waved her fist and hit the person in front of her.
I have to say that his kung fu has improved a lot. The man opposite him was kicked back several steps before he could react.
Su Muer hurriedly spoke to stop her, "Doudou, don't be rude."
Upon hearing his mother's call, Doudou stopped what he was about to do and looked at the man in front of him with raised eyebrows.
Xiao Mo looked at his cute look and couldn't help but purse his lips and chuckle, "Little guy, you have good skills. Where can you learn from?"
"I won't tell you." Doudou raised his head, "Who are you?"
Su Mu'er hurriedly pulled him to her side by holding up his collar, "Doudou, this is General Xiao. You must not be rude."
General Xiao?
Although he was very famous, his kung fu was definitely inferior to that of the handsome brother. However, he still greeted him politely.
Xiao Mo looked at him and grinned: "This child will definitely succeed in the future."
"Thank you for the compliment, General Xiao. I don't ask him to get ahead, I just want him to live out his life in peace."
"Ms. Su, that's very polite. I'm so lucky to have such a smart child."
Su Muer chuckled lightly, the breeze blew across her face, and her smile stunned Xiao Mo who was standing opposite her.
"Where is General Xiao going?"
"oh,"
Xiao Mo looked back with some embarrassment. During these years of marching, he really had no chance to come into contact with women.
However, people often came to propose marriage, but he rejected them one by one. Firstly, he didn't like those squeamish ladies, and secondly, he was afraid that his little sister wouldn't get along with them.
So until now, the position of his general's wife is still vacant, and he has not thought about finding someone to fill it.
But since the day he rescued Su Mu'er, her shadow has always lingered in front of his eyes.
That day he found out about her from Sujiazhuang, and his affection for her doubled.
"Since it's not convenient for General Xiao to say it, I'll take my leave. Doudou has to go to school."
Xiao Mo scratched his head in embarrassment. This look was inconsistent with his image as a general, but for some reason, when he saw her, he either lost his mind or became nervous.
"Oh, I want to buy some braised eggs. Since Miss Su is busy, I'll come back another day."
"General Xiao, just go directly. There are people in the store."
"No, no, no."
Xiao Mo waved his hand, his purpose was not to buy braised eggs, it was just an excuse.
"Let's go another day. I just remembered that I have something else to do. I'll say goodbye."
After saying that, he strode away in a hurry.
Su Mu'er looked at his back, pursed her lips in confusion, and continued on her way while holding Doudou's hand.
"Mother, are you familiar with this General Xiao?"
Doudou looked up at her with his big round eyes as he walked.
She nodded, "Well, he was my mother's savior. That day, my mother was in a hurry to return to Sujiazhuang and met a gangster on the road. Fortunately, he passed by, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see my mother at this time."
Thinking of what happened that day, she couldn't help but shudder.
Doudou held her hand tightly and looked at her with some worry, "Mother, don't scare Doudou, Doudou can't live without mother."
She lowered her eyebrows and looked at him tenderly.
How could she not know? She also cannot live without Doudou.
"Mother knows, so General Xiao is my savior. He is a good man. You were too impulsive just now and even beat him."
