Qinghe Pastoral

After talking for another half an hour, Aunt Zhang still had something to do, so she planned to leave first. Before leaving, Lin Mu took out a few bank notes and put them in Wang Xiaoer's second hand, but Wang Xiaoer refused to accept them. Seeing the number in it, his hands trembled with fright, and he stammered his words of rejection.

"Little brother, don't refuse. I'm afraid that the family will worry. We really don't want to stay for a long time, so I can only give you money. You can watch and buy some property yourself. The two places will be far apart in the future, and I have to ask my aunt to take care of me." gone."

Although Wang Xiaoer got rid of slavery, he still wanted to stay in the Mu family, and Aunt Zhang would be the master of the Mu family in the future.

Aunt Zhang said to Lin Mu with a smile on her face: "Chen'er, don't worry, Xiaoer, since it's the young master's wish, don't refuse it, just accept it."

Wang Xiaoer felt that what he was holding at this moment was hot charcoal, which might burn him at any moment, and his heart trembled slightly along with the banknote in his hand.Seeing that he couldn't refuse at all, even Aunt Zhang said so, he had no choice but to put the bank note into his arms tremblingly, but he didn't know whether he should thank him or not.

"The journey is long, and there is an epidemic, so you should be more careful."

"Don't worry, Auntie. Let's go back by boat, and we'll be back home in two or three days."

"Well, let's go back home first."

Several people sent Aunt Zhang and Wang Xiaoer to the carriage, watched the carriage gradually disappear at the reentry, and suddenly felt a few parting melancholy.

After sending Aunt Zhang away, they went to Liu's mansion with the gift of thanks.

Seeing a few people coming, the servants of the Liu Mansion had weird expressions on their faces. Presumably it was the fact that Lin Mu was infected with the epidemic, which made them both startled and terrified.Even so, the little servant did not dare to be negligent, and saluted respectfully and said hello, fully demonstrating the rules and etiquette of the big family.

"Young masters, our young master and wife are entertaining guests. I will invite you to rest for a while, and then I will reply immediately after the masters are done entertaining."

Several people couldn't help lamenting that they came at the wrong time, but they also thought that they would return soon, and there would be no time to thank them after today, so they complied with the servant's words.

He followed the young man all the way, but he didn't want to bump into Mr. Liu with a livid complexion beside the rockery. He was obviously very upset. Although he knew him very shortly, Lin Mu had never seen Mr. Liu like this.

Mr. Liu was very surprised to see a few people coming, but there was an unconscious smile on his face.

"Why are you here? How is Young Master Chen?"

After resting for two days, Lin Mu has recovered, and now his complexion is ruddy, and he doesn't look like he was hesitating on the edge of life and death.

"Thank you, Young Master Liu, for your concern. You are already well now. If you take the liberty to come here, please ask Young Master Liu not to blame you."

Lin Mu is modest and polite, but such respect makes Mr. Liu feel uncomfortable.

"You guys are being polite, I treat you as friends, please don't be so polite, let's go, go to our hospital."

Seeing this, the young man retreated, and they followed Young Master Liu to his yard.

Different from all kinds of delicate and beautiful flowers in Liu's mansion, there is a row of bamboos planted in Young Master Liu's courtyard, which looks very elegant.

Young Master Liu invited them to sit down, ordered the maid to serve tea and pastries, and started chatting with them.

"A few days ago, I was taken care of by Young Master Liu. I was so dazed that I didn't have time to say thank you. Today I have time, so I came here on purpose. It's really presumptuous of me not to say hello in advance."

"No matter what, no one with a bit of righteousness will turn a blind eye to such a thing, but it's just a matter of little effort, you don't have to take it to heart."

While the few people were talking, the maid brought over the tea and snacks. The snacks were quite exquisite, which whetted one's appetite.

"There is a cook in the house who is very good at making dim sum. These are her specialties. Let's have a try."

There are one or two items that can be bought in dim sum shops in Dongzhou, but they are not as good as this cook. Lin Mu couldn't help but praise in his heart after tasting a few mouthfuls.

"It tastes really good."

"You are welcome, if you like, I will ask the cook to make a few, and you can take them away when you leave later."

Although Young Master Liu said so, he had already ordered the maid beside him, Lin Mu quickly waved his hands and said, "Young Master Liu, don't bother, we are leaving tomorrow, and there are still some things to deal with right now, so it is not appropriate to stay any longer. "

Hearing Lin Muru's words, Young Master Liu felt a little regretful, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry, the epidemic is rampant in all states and counties now, why don't you stay for a few more days, and it won't be too late to go on the road after you gradually settle down."

"Thank you, Young Master Liu, for your kindness. It's just that I was kidnapped from home to Dongzhou. My parents must be very worried. Going home earlier will make my family feel at ease."

After hearing such reasons, Young Master Liu couldn't say anything to persuade him to stay. Such a pure and kind person must have grown up under the care of the elders in the family. When it comes to the love of parents, how can he be persuaded to stay?

"Since this is the case, Liu will not stay any longer."

Even so, Young Master Liu ordered the maid to make some snacks. Seeing that Lin Mu and the others were about to refuse, he hurriedly said: "It's just a few snacks, and it's not bad to eat on the road. Don't refuse any more. .”

Seeing Young Master Liu's resolute attitude, Lin Mu no longer refused.

After talking to Young Master Liu again, thinking that it was getting late, Lin Mu thought about going to visit the elders of the Liu family, and they should leave.

"I wonder if it's convenient to see the elders?"

It was just the most common sentence, but I don't know what Young Master Liu thought of, but his face froze and he didn't speak for a long time.

The few people were at a loss and couldn't ask further questions, so they quietly waited for Young Master Liu's reply.

"It's too shameful, is the young master back yet?"

While the atmosphere was quiet, a voice came from outside the yard. Everyone present, except Lin Mu who was unconscious before, recognized this voice as Mrs. Liu.

However, in the impression of several people, Mrs. Liu is an extremely dignified person, but now hearing this tone, there is a bit of anger hidden.

Young Master Liu sighed almost inaudibly. It seemed that the two of them had an unpleasant quarrel, and while they were thinking blankly, the master who spoke had already walked over with the help of the maid.

"You are so outrageous, how can you leave Mrs. Qiao and Miss Qiao? You..."

Mrs. Liu came in cursing, but when she saw a few people, she pushed back the curse words she was about to utter, with a bit of embarrassment on her face.

Don't blame Mrs. Liu, in fact, her demeanor is too calm and generous, even Ji Ruixiu can't believe it.

"I don't know how many people are here, and I made a few people laugh."

The three hurriedly stood up and greeted Mrs. Liu with a bit of respect on their faces.

"No need to be like this, please take a seat quickly, a few of you are coming, why don't you say hello in advance, I'll make arrangements for it."

"Thank you Mrs. Liu for your kindness. I was bothering you a lot earlier, but I came to thank you today. I hope you won't be abrupt."

"What are you talking about? Looking at Young Master Chen's complexion, I think his injuries have already healed?"

For some reason, several people always felt that Madam Liu was a little out of order today, and she had a smile on her face, thinking that she was still thinking about Lin Mu's previous epidemic.

Lin Mu thought about thanking him and giving him a present. There was really no need to stay and cause trouble for others, so he thought of leaving Liu's residence immediately.

"Of course, it's also delaying your blessings. I heard that there are guests in the house. We will be heading back to Yong'an Continent tomorrow. We still have some things to deal with, so we should say goodbye."

Mrs. Liu froze when she heard what Lin Muru said, as if thinking of something again, her whole face was froze, making people bewildered.

Seeing this, Lin Mu and the others hurriedly stood up. Seeing this, Young Master Liu also stood up, and said to the others: "It's still early, everyone, please sit down for a while, it's not too late to leave after dinner."

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu also stood up and followed Young Master Liu to agree, but Ji Ruixiu could clearly see Mrs. Liu staring at Young Master Liu. Although it was only for a few seconds, Ji Ruixiu saw it for real.

This Mrs. Liu's behavior today is very different from that day. This change of attitude seems very abrupt. Several people don't understand the reason. They only think that it is related to Lin Mu's previous illness, and they don't want to stay any longer. , indicating to leave immediately.

Young Master Liu was a little helpless, seeing that several people insisted on leaving, and his mother had such an attitude, he could only sigh in his heart.

"Since you are in a hurry, Liu will not force you anymore, and hope to see you again in the future."

"Naturally, when Young Master Liu is free, come to Yong'an Continent to play. We have many interesting places in Yong'an Continent, and we will definitely accompany you to have a good time."

Young Master Liu naturally nodded yes, he sent the three of them to the gate of the courtyard, and said goodbye to them with fists in their hands.

When Master Liu returned to the courtyard, he saw Mrs. Liu with a very bad complexion. Thinking of what happened today, he also felt that his behavior was very rude.

"Mother, I'm sorry."

Hearing what he said, Madam Liu sneered and said: "You are not sorry for me, you will only ruin your reputation by doing this, in the end it is because you still have greed for Master Nachen, don't tell me The two are married, and look at the affectionate appearance, my silly son, you can wake up."

Mrs. Liu's words can be said to be sincere, she thought of her son's appearance when she first saw Mu Xianchen in the Mu Mansion, and then thought about his behavior in the past two days, and she sighed in her heart.

She is not a bad person. Lin Mu looks harmless to humans and animals, and is quite polite. With such a background, Mrs. Liu is inevitably moved with a little compassion, but if his tired son has daydreams all day long, she is Duan Duan will not give up and compromise easily.

"Mother, what are you talking about? When I saw Young Master Ji being so affectionate and the two of them so affectionate, I lost my mind and just regarded him as a friend. As for seeing Mrs. Qiao and Miss Qiao, you never told me, mother." Hearing, my son really doesn't have the heart to take care of his children's love right now, I hope my mother will forgive me, and don't arrange any more famous daughters for me, it's a lifelong event, and when my son gets a good ranking this time, he will naturally consider it."

Mrs. Liu was skeptical, but thinking of her son's behavior today, she really didn't dare to make decisions in private. If something was said to damage his son's reputation this time, it would not be good to affect the scientific examination.

"As long as you are willing to pay attention."

Hearing what Mrs. Liu said, Young Master Liu smiled, and hurriedly put Mrs. Liu's favorite pastries in front of her, and the mother and son finally spoke happily again.
