Chapter 37 Ginger is old and spicy
Chapter 37 Ginger is old and spicy
Wang Hui went back to sleep full of regrets, resenting his elder brother who didn't live up to expectations and really owed a lesson.Since Mu Xiaolu changed his name, he must want to abandon his past.If the eldest brother provokes him again, won't it make his plan of chasing his wife worse?
The cold bed made people feel even more lonely, but the person he was thinking about was in a room not far away, sharing the bed with another man and talking secretly. Served with biscuits.
what to do?After the elder brother did this, Mu Xiaolu must now hate his elder brother and himself to the core, and the little goodwill he had accumulated with great difficulty will probably disappear without a trace, right?
Alas, the only way out now is to let the old grandfather rescue him. It seems that Mu Xiaolu still respects him very much.
Yes, that's the idea.But we can't let Xiu Qing show up to spoil things.
Wang Hui thought of a way out, and after thinking about it for a long time, he slowly fell asleep.
The next day, not long after breakfast, Mr. Wang arrived at the yard where his grandson lived.
Mu Xiaolu was coaxing Qiuqiu to play. Seeing Mr. Wang coming in, he quickly wanted to salute. Mr. Wang rushed up a few steps to support him and said, "Good boy, get up quickly. Don't be so polite when you see the old man in the future. I have already said that I am not here. So many rules."
After finishing speaking, she turned around and said, "Bring Chen'er over here." The nanny came up with a baby in her arms.
Mr. Wang hugged the purple-red baby and said with a smile: "Look, this is my great-grandson. It's not a few days away from Qiuqiu's birthday. Come on, let the two of them get to know each other. My great-grandson is also a motherless child." , as pitiful as your son. Sigh, just thinking about it makes me want to cry." As he spoke, he slowly sat beside Mu Xiaolu's couch with his great-grandson in his arms and showed the child to Mu Xiaolu, his eyes were really red.
Mu Xiaolu: "..."
A servant woman suddenly said: "Ah, young master Qiuqiu and young master Chen'er really look alike! They really are brothers!"
Mr. Wang wiped his eyes and took a closer look. One was red and the other was purple, the two infants were both tender and beautiful. Their appearances were indeed somewhat similar. When they glanced at each other, they thought they were twins.Mr. Wang immediately said excitedly: "It's really fate, it's really fate. Xiao Lu, I want to recognize you as a great-grandson, do you think it's okay? My great-grandson is also an only child, without any brothers and sisters, so lonely. Let them be brothers so that they can take care of each other when they grow up."
Qiuqiu saw the baby opposite in his father's arms, his two grape-like black eyes suddenly rolled up, he giggled and babbled, and he stretched out his little hand like a steamed bun and waved it forward.
Mu Xiaolu: "..."
So Young Master Qiuqiu became the great-grandson of Mr. Wang.
In the next few days, Wang Hui seldom stayed in Mu Xiaolu's room, but ordered someone to take care of him carefully, and occasionally showed his head every day to see Mu Xiaolu's injuries, and then left to tease the child.
Mu Xiaolu suddenly remembered that Qi Cheng had said that Lao Chai's family was here, so he told Wang Lao that he wanted to see him, and Wang Lao quickly ordered someone to call Lao Chai here.
Needless to say, when the brothers met, they almost burst into tears.
Seeing that Mu Xiaolu's complexion was fine, Lao Chai was so excited that he started to squirm and could only say "Okay, okay".
Mu Xiaolu has always been resentful towards Wang Hui, a great general, who has searched for him so deliberately, is he not afraid of people making jokes if word spreads?At the same time, he also apologized endlessly for getting Lao Chai and Qi Cheng into trouble. Fortunately, they didn't suffer any serious crimes. Compared with ordinary dignitaries, the Wang family is quite kind.Mu Xiaolu rejoiced in his heart.
In the next few days, Wang Laoke will be busy, running to Mu Xiaolu's house all day, holding Qiuqiu and laughing from ear to ear.Gold, silver, jade, and good things were sent to Mu Xiaolu's house like water. As for food and clothing, they were as good as they could be. Even Sister Su's son, Xiaocheng, was covered.
Mu Xiaolu resolutely declined, and Mr. Wang said it was for the children. If he refused, it would be a disgrace to my old man.Mu Xiaolu had nothing to do with this old man.
So Mu Xiaolu seriously suspected that Mr. Wang and his grandson were singing oboe.And I seriously suspect that this old man is not like a person from this world!If he was wearing modern clothes, he would be a modern old man, elegant and funny, kind and cheerful, and a little cuddly and cute.But even if they are people from their own world, shouldn't ordinary parents urge their children and grandchildren to marry wives and have children?This old man is really advanced. He is a matchmaker for his grandson and finds a man!
Mu Xiaolu thought hard but couldn't understand it.But even if he recognized his son as his great-grandson, Mu Xiaolu didn't want to have anything to do with his grandson.
Until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, my feet got better and I could barely walk. Mu Xiaolu decided to go home the next day. How can there be any reason to celebrate the New Year at someone else's house?
But it was so unfortunate that there was no snow all winter, but it started to snow on the evening of the 28th.
Elder Wang held Qiuqiu in his arms and persuaded: "Look, I can't keep you, the sky can keep you, right? With such heavy snow, you have the heart to let Qiuqiu go out? If my grandson gets sick from the cold, the old man will not agree! "
Mu Xiaolu "..."
So Mu Xiaolu's family had no choice but to stay in the palace for the new year.
Although it was snowing heavily and he couldn't go home, Mu Xiaolu still asked Qi Cheng to go home to see Xiao Sulin. It was very worrying that he was alone at home.Qi Chengcheng stayed there to watch the house with Su Lin. Anyway, all the things for the New Year are ready at home, so there is no need to buy anything.
On the evening of the [-]th, the custom here is also to watch the night and eat the New Year's Eve dinner. The whole family sits around the stove, eating, having fun, and gossip.
Mu Xiaolu's feet were still not healed, so Wang Lao gave an order and ordered the scene to be arranged in the north room of his house.Mu Xiaolu lives in the East Wing, with the door facing west. Once you enter the door is the living room, the south is the bedroom, and the north is the dining room.This saves him from going out.
Wang Hui was extremely grateful to his ancestors, and he was almost in admiration.Mu Xiaolu was filled with resentment for doing so many things by himself, and let all his sincerity be wasted.The grandfather can subdue him with just a few words, not only recognizes his son, but also lets him stay here obediently, and can also create a chance for him to share a room with Mu Xiaolu, what a masterful technique!Ginger is still old and spicy!
As the sky darkened slightly, Wang Hui helped the old man to come.
Stepping into this room, he was very moved, except for a quick visit to Mu Xiaolu's wound every day, he didn't stay in this room for more than half an hour.
The rooms in this courtyard were lived in by Wang Hui when he was an adult, and he was already very tall at that time, so each room was wider than ordinary people, and the doors were higher.Everything in this room has to be big to fit.So no matter the big vase in the corner, the copper charcoal stove on the ground, or the Boshan incense burner, they are all very big.There are so many rich and expensive furnishings in the room, but it doesn't look vulgar at all. Everything is just right, warm and comfortable, spacious and bright.
On the big kang in the north room, a big kang table was placed. Seeing that everyone was there, Mr. Wang ordered dinner to be served.
In fact, there are only three masters in this family, Wang Lao and Wang Hui Xiuqing. Xiuqing said he was sick, so he dared not come. His younger brother's eyes could kill.Although Mr. Wang was surprised, he didn't force it. As long as the eldest grandson didn't go out and cause trouble, the old man would chant Buddha's name.
The nanny and servant girl are also here holding two babies, and the housekeeper and housekeeper's wife are also waiting on the side with a few servants.
The number of people in the family is too small, and those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, all the maids and servants let them go to rest, except for those who serve here.So at this time, apart from the grandparents of the Wang family, there are only Mu Xiaolu and Xiaofei.
Wang Lao saw that there were more people standing than sitting and eating, and he thought it was not lively, so he ordered someone to move a few small tables underneath, and all the servants went to eat too, instead of serving on top, everyone had fun together.
In order to make Mu Xiaolu happy, Wang Hui called Lao Chai's family over.Old Chai and his daughter-in-law were cautious and didn't know where to put their hands, and they were determined not to go to the kang, so they had to let them eat at the small table with the servants at the bottom.His son is only ten years old, he has been in this house for a long time, but he doesn't know how to admit his birth.Running around underneath, this kind of gathering made it seem much more lively, the two babies laughed and cried from time to time, and had to be coaxed quickly, Mr. Wang was simply too busy.
Seeing that the people he cared about were all well, Mu Xiaolu sighed inwardly, and felt lucky again.
The family is nothing more than talking, talking and laughing, and the servants and servants are making fun of each other, which seems lively and lively.
Wang Hui sat across from Mu Xiaolu, from time to time he used the opportunity of drinking and serving dishes to make friends.The table was big enough, and ordinary people would not be able to reach it to serve the people opposite, but Wang Hui was tall and had long arms, so it was no problem at all.
Mu Xiaolu lowered his eyes and ate his food quietly.Occasionally pour wine for Mr. Wang and serve dishes.
Wang Hui couldn't see what he was thinking clearly, he was anxious, but he couldn't speak out, even the wine he drank was tasteless.He poured cup after cup into his mouth, frowning.
Mu Xiaolu was eating with his head down, when he suddenly heard Elder Wang sighed, he raised his head quickly.
I only heard Mr. Wang sighed: "My family is not prosperous, and the children are struggling. I can't even keep a daughter-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law passed away. The old man is sad, but there is no way. But Ah Hong is so old, even a daughter-in-law The daughter-in-law can't be found, the old man doesn't have a few years to live, and I don't know if he can see Ah Hong's daughter-in-law."
No one in the room spoke. Looking at Mu Xiaolu, Mu Xiaolu's chopsticks were still hanging in the air. Seeing this scene, he couldn't escape, so he could only say: "The old man must have a long life. Besides, the general is very powerful and has made great achievements in battle. There must be a suitable lady from everyone to match. When the time comes to marry a wife and have children, the old man can enjoy the family happiness to the fullest."
When Wang Hui heard Mu Xiaolu praise himself, his heart was full of joy, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his face suddenly sank again.
Elder Wang didn't speak any more, turned back to the steward with a smile and said, "Go get Mr. Mu a hand stove."
The New Year passed peacefully, and on the fifth day of the lunar new year, Mu Xiaolu was able to walk on his feet and insisted on going. Mr. Wang didn't deliberately stop him this time.The child was already very docile and polite.Elder Wang sighed in his heart.If my grandson can find such a person, even if he can't spread his branches and leaves, it is not a grievance.
After breakfast on the sixth day, Mr. Wang ordered someone to prepare a carriage to the yard, let the nanny carry the child into the carriage, and then sent everyone out. He took Mu Xiaolu's hand in the room and sighed softly: "Ai, The old man doesn't even want face, so don't be angry if you say something."
Mu Xiaolu nodded.
"Oh, you must know that Ah Hong likes you. It's just that he did something wrong to you before, and he knew he was wrong, so he felt sorry for it. The old man said sorry for him."
"You don't need to be like this, the old man. It's over. I've already told the general to cancel the past. Please tell the general that you don't have to worry about it. I will come to see the old man when I have time." Mu Xiaolu said calmly and politely. , but immediately blocked Wang Lao's mouth.
Elder Wang had no choice but to change the topic, and repeatedly told him to come and see the old man when he was free.
If Wang Hui said this, Mu Xiaolu would definitely reject it straight away.But facing such a kind old man with white hair and beard who treats himself like his own grandson, he really couldn't say anything harsh, so he had to perfunctory until he got out of the gate and got on the car, Wang Lao was still standing with a stick He kept looking at the door, waving his hands.
Seeing Mu Xiaolu's car go away, Wang Laocai sighed and said, "My grandson, you have a long way to go, I'm really worried."
"Oh, grandfather, I can see it too, what should I do?" Wang Hui supported Elder Wang's arm, and the grandfather and grandson walked back slowly.
Wang Hui was very worried.Mu Xiaolu is not close to himself, like the two ends of a magnet, as soon as he gets close to him, he will run away, cold.There is no way at all, but let him go like this, firstly, he is worried, and secondly, he is afraid that he will gradually alienate him, and it will really be over.So how about having someone next to him?Not only can it protect him, but it can also inform him from time to time, so that he can wait for the opportunity.Just do it!
In early spring and February, the wind was a bit milder, Mu Xiaolu and Xiaofei discussed, and when Qi Cheng came back and asked him to help watch the house, they would go back to Xiushui Village to have a look.Although the things Mrs. Wang gave were enough for him to spend a long time, but Mu Xiaolu didn't want to spend other people's money, so he should find a way to make money by himself.
The reason why Qi Cheng is always running around is because the old man of the Wang family is so enthusiastic.Every once in a while, he ordered people to deliver things to his great-grandson. If Mu Xiaolu refused, the servants who delivered the things would kneel and beg for mercy, saying that the old man would be sad if the young master didn't accept it. He also said that he cried when he returned the things once. For half a night, no one can persuade you.
Mu Xiaolu really wanted to yell: Stop being cute!Granny!
But there is no way, who can have trouble with an old man who is almost seventy years old?I had to accept it.Since you have received a gift from someone else, you have to return the gift, right?Mu Xiaolu could only do his best to prepare things.He also didn't want to go back to see Wang Hui and Xiu Qing, so he had to ask Brother Qi to deliver the things instead.
Oh, what a helpless life!
