Chapter 48
Before Su Lin could finish speaking, he heard the old man's voice from the gate of the second courtyard. Mu Xiaolu looked out through the screen window, and saw the white-haired and bearded old man holding Xiao Fei's hand, trembling. Weiwei came in, followed by two young servants carrying burdens, food boxes and other things, followed by Zhao Qing and the doctor carrying the medicine box.
Zhao Qing was wearing a brand-new gray cloth robe with a belt around his waist, a turban of the same color on his head, and a pair of black cloth shoes. He was very low-key, but he still had broad shoulders and a straight back. He had a handsome face and stood out from the crowd.Mu Xiaolu thought to himself, if this person is reliable, he would be a good match for his cousin.
Going up to meet him with a smile, he bowed to the old man and said with a smile: "Hello, old man, let the doctor take a look first. This time, I got involved with the general. Fortunately, no life is in danger."
The old man smiled and said: "I know, Xiao Fei told me all about it. Well, it was just a coincidence to meet a tiger and leopard. Thanks to Ah Hong's martial arts skills, if you are alone, if something happens, you will scare my old man to death. The old man patted Mu Xiaolu's head and sighed pitifully.
Mu Xiaolu wrinkled his nose secretly, thinking to himself, if you feel sorry for me, you should help me marry a wife, why do you still want to sell your grandson to me?
Mr. Wang went into the room to see his grandson. Seeing that Wang Hui was in good spirits, he felt relieved. He sat on the chair beside the couch and watched the doctor undo the wound and examine it again.
Mu Xiaolu looked at the hideous wound, although it had been bandaged with medicine before, it was still red, swollen and turned out, dripping with blood, and his heart tightened again.Thinking of Wang Hui standing at the entrance of the cave fighting desperately with the leopard, his heart fell silent.
Seeing that Mu Xiaolu bowed his head and remained silent, Wang Hui was afraid that he would feel guilty, so he hurriedly said to his grandfather, "It's just a little skin injury, it's fine, it will be fine in a few days, don't worry about it."
Sensing the subtle atmosphere between the two of them, Mr. Wang stroked his beard and smiled, "Don't worry, you have to take good care of Xiao Lu, and don't let him be wronged."
"Don't worry, I take all his matters to heart." Wang Hui answered immediately.
Mu Xiaolu watched his grandparents and grandson singing in unison, he couldn't get in the mouth, and he couldn't get in the way, so he felt a little hot.Changing the subject, he asked Zhao Qing: "General Zhao is here to see the general?"
Zhao Qing respectfully bowed to Mu Xiaolu, and Mu Xiaolu hurriedly returned the salute, Zhao Qing said: "I came to see the old man, I didn't expect the general to be injured, so I came to visit, the general is fine, so the subordinates can rest assured gone."
"Oh, Mu's house is simple and poor, and the hospitality is not good, please don't be offended."
"No no, where, Mr. Mu is being too polite, Zhao Qing took the liberty to visit and caused you trouble."
"Don't be polite." Wang Hui coughed and said with a smile, "Zhao Qing is not an outsider, Xiao Lu, you don't have to be polite to him, we should all be brothers."
Zhao Qing couldn't wait for this, and hurriedly cupped his hands to Mu Xiaolu and said with a smile: "Zhao Qing dare not not listen to what the General said, I wonder if Young Master Mu minds?"
"Uh, then... let's be brothers." Is there such a bias?Brothers match, I am the younger brother, and Zhao Qing picked up the ready-made bargains. I think he is eager to be my brother, so good that he is close to marrying my sister!
Zhao Qing smiled slightly and cupped his hands, "My dear brother."
"Uh, brother Zhao." Mu Xiaolu could only smile and cup his hands, expressing basic courtesy to this brother who came for no reason.
After applying the medicine, the doctor re-bandaged the wound and bowed: "Old Master, the general's injury will be taken care of, and it will recover soon. You don't have to worry."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Laifu, take the money and send Dr. Li home." A servant promised to take the doctor out.
Seeing that nothing happened here, the old lady touched Mu Xiaolu with the hand holding the walking stick, and said with a smile, "I want to see my great-grandson, so Xiaolu can go and hug him?"
Mu Xiaolu refused for no reason, got up and went to the backyard.
Here Mr. Wang smiled at Xiaofei: "Xiaofei, you can sit with Ah Qing in the front yard for a while, and I will talk to Ah Hong." Then he said to Zhao Qing: "Don't worry, I will help you with your affairs." become."
Xiaofei went to the front yard with Zhao Qing.
"How is it? I think he's much softer, so he doesn't hate you, does he?" Elder Wang leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
Wang Hui said with a smile: "Grandfather's strategy really works, alas, you have to grind him."
"However, you are so dangerous this time, you scared grandfather to death."
"Grandfather, don't worry, the little leopard is nothing. In fact, I can kill the leopard with the first blow, but hey~" Wang Hui smiled triumphantly at the old man, and said in a low voice, "Bitter tricks are always the best."
"You~" Mr. Wang patted his grandson's tightly wrapped right arm, and sighed, "Be careful next time. Don't really cause any danger."
Wang Hui immediately gritted his teeth and took a breath, and shouted softly, "Take it easy, it hurts!"
After a while, Mu Xiaolu came over with Sister Su carrying the child, and Aunt Jing and Taoye also came to say hello.Mr. Wang hugged the child, smiling from ear to ear. Aunt Jing came up to salute with peach leaves. The old man hurriedly handed the child to Mu Xiaolu. Reunion, my old man should have come to visit a long time ago, alas, it is difficult to start when I am old."
Just as Mu Xiaolu was about to speak, Su Lin came to report outside the door: "The old man's horse and the family's donkey are biting." Mu Xiaolu hurriedly got up and told Mr. Wang, and went out to the front yard to watch the donkey.
Here, Aunt Jing laughed hurriedly and said, "What is the old man talking about? The women are juniors, so if you want to visit, you should be the women. There is no reason for you to come."
Wang Lao said with a smile: "We don't need to have such a relationship between our relatives, and we don't need people's women and women's women anymore. The old man sounds awkward." He dragged his white beard and laughed: "The old man is older than you, and his seniority is higher." , if you don't mind, you can call me uncle."
"Ah? Uh, that niece paid homage to her uncle." Aunt Jing was a little flattered, she dared not disobey, and quickly bowed down.
Mr. Wang hurriedly ordered someone to help him up, looked at Taoye and said with a smile, "Is this your daughter?"
Tao Ye hurriedly went forward to bow down, Wang Lao said: "Good boy, grandpa didn't bring anything today, come and get my jade." The servant took out a red sandalwood box from the bag, opened it and solemnly took out a piece of Yuanyuan Mr. Wang took the jade bi and handed it to Taoye himself, saying, "I have kept this piece of jade for decades. Let me give it to you as a gift."
Aunt Jing saw that the jade was warm and transparent, green and deep, although she didn't understand it, but it looked like a valuable item, she quickly excused her daughter: "Uncle, this jade is too precious, Taoye can't afford it."
"Why can't you afford it, but you look down on my old man?" Old Wang pouted his beard and paused on the ground with his walking stick, feeling unhappy.
Aunt Jing quickly took the jade bi, handed it to her daughter to put it away carefully, and said with a smile: "What did uncle say, how could he look down on you? We are the ones who made the move."
"Don't talk about these things in the future, my family's saying this makes my old man sad. Alas, I don't have a daughter or granddaughter. No one hurts~" He wiped his tears with his hand that didn't hold a walking stick.
No matter where Aunt Jing passed by, she couldn't help it, she stepped forward to support her and said: "Uncle, please don't be sad, my niece doesn't have any parents, so I will respect my uncle as my own parents in the future."
Taoye also cried when she saw her mother was sad.
Qiuqiu yelled "ahah" in Sister Su's arms, and smiled straight at the old man.Mr. Wang immediately beamed with joy after hugging his great-grandson. He hugged Qiuqiu and put it on Wang Hui's couch. The grandparent and grandson teased the child.
It was also a strange thing, although Qiuqiu seldom had contact with Wang Hui, but he didn't recognize his life at all. He quickly climbed onto Wang Hui's lap, sat and scratched, and laughed "chirp and giggle".
Wang Hui took the child's little hand and made faces for him. Qiuqiu smiled more joyfully, and rushed to grab Wang Hui's robe. Wang Hui held back the pain and let the child play with it.
So Mu Xiaolu went back to the inner room and saw this picture of father and son kissing each other.Surprised.
Old Wang smiled and said to Aunt Jing: "Good niece, the old man is hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
"Uh, right now, my niece is confused, it's time for lunch. Wait a moment. Taoye is here." Aunt Jing led Miss Taoye to cook.The child stays indoors for the time being.
"When did my aunt become your niece?" Mu Xiaolu couldn't hide his surprise.
Mr. Wang stroked his beard and said, "Taoye has become my granddaughter. We will be a family from now on, don't see my grandson again, good grandson!"
"Uh..." It was just a matter of going to the front yard to look at the donkey, why did this relative get closer and closer?Mu Xiaolu was confused.To say that the old man is really a good person, but his purpose is obviously impure.
Mu Xiaolu saw that this was the end of the matter, so he should investigate Zhao Qing first. If his character is reliable, of course everyone will be happy.As for myself, I will wait until the matter of my cousin is settled.The cousin is still important.Oh, why isn't Wang Hui a woman?If it is a woman, everything will be solved easily.It's really hard to fall in love with a tough big man.
Lunch was eaten in Mu Xiaolu's bedroom, because Wang Hui couldn't move and he insisted on eating with everyone, so he had to move the dining table to his bedside, which was against the rules, but everyone ate happily.Qiuqiu crawls very fast now, let him crawl on the couch, Mu Xiaolu sits beside Wang Hui to feed him, Qiuqiu also rushes over to eat, grabbing spoons randomly.Mu Xiaolu had no choice but to ask Sister Su to hold him and feed him first.Originally, Aunt Jing wanted to eat in the kitchen with Tao Ye, but the old man insisted that they must eat together.Just follow him.
In the front yard, Xiao Fei and Su Lin accompanied Zhao Qing to a banquet.Mu Xiaolu went out to the front courtyard room with the wine, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, drink more, I'm neglecting you."
Zhao Qing got up and said with a smile: "My dear brother, you're welcome. Come, let's have a toast." As he spoke, he filled Mu Xiaolu's wine, and he filled it up himself. Had to drink it all.
Now that you're here, if you don't want to leave right away, just gossip with me.
Zhao Qing patted Mu Xiaolu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Yu has been transferred to Xiufeng City. It is very close. From now on, I will come and walk around the mansion of my virtuous brother. Don't bother my virtuous brother."
Mu Xiaolu's face froze for a moment, and he quickly smiled and said, "Where is it? It's too late to welcome." This must be Wang Hui's idea!
After lunch, Mr. Wang saw that his mission was completed, and his grandson was a little tired, so he left a lot of food and went home.
Mu Xiaolu smiled and said, "Old Master, why don't you let the General go back to his residence to raise him? The conditions here are poor. I'm afraid it will delay his recovery."
"I'm just raising it here, and I'm not going anywhere." Wang Hui rolled his eyes, playing tricks.
Mu Xiaolu looked at Mr. Wang and hoped that he would take his grandson back, but after all, he is a grandson who is connected by blood. Mr. Wang touched Mu Xiaolu with a walking stick and whispered, "Oh, my old man is old and I can't manage so many children." You young people have more to say about your children and grandchildren, so let him take care of you here." After saying that, he turned around and walked away, with a straight body, not at all like an old man in his sixties.Zhao Qing and his servants followed behind, and Mu Xiaolu and Aunt Jing Taoye hurriedly sent them out.The two women were sent to the front yard, and Mu Xiaolu didn't come back until he was sent out the gate.
Dinner is still very rich.The doctor left the recipe and dared not neglect Wang Hui.So the others went to eat, only Mu Xiaolu was feeding beside Wang Hui's couch.
Mu Xiaolu sighed and said: "It's up to now, General, let me just say it straight. You've become very good now. I said before that I don't care about it, but you insist on being with me. This is difficult for others. I look left and right, but I can't see how you can make me like you. Two big men are tough together. It's awkward to be together. Why don't you just find a woman. Why are you twisting like this?"
Wang Hui grabbed Mu Xiaolu's hand holding the spoon and said, "Men and men are not without fun. I can serve you all day and night, as much as you want, can women?"
Mu Xiaolu blushed instantly, shook him off and said, "Go!"
Wang Hui didn't give up: "Okay, don't talk about this, I can shelter you from the wind and rain, I can earn money to support your family, and I can protect you when you meet a leopard. Can these women do it?"
"Uh, I don't need you to shelter me from the wind and rain. I can earn money to support my family. I can escape to the Taoyuan when I meet a leopard. Besides, women can have children, can you?" Mu Xiaolu refused to budge.
"You have Qiuqiu, isn't it enough? You want to get a stepmother for Qiuqiu? Stepmothers rarely treat the ex-son sincerely, right?"
"This..." Mu Xiaolu genuinely hesitated.
Speaking of Qiuqiu, he didn't really want to marry a woman, and he was also afraid that his stepmother would treat Qiuqiu badly, but being with Wang Hui would have too many side effects.
Mu Xiaolu thought for a while, raised his head, and said seriously: "With you, I can overcome my disliking for men, but I'm afraid that Qiuqiu and my cousin will be scolded. Can you guarantee that my cousin will marry me?" Well, won't you be offended because I'm with you?"
"Of course I can, don't you still trust me?"
Mu Xiaolu lowered his head and thought for a while, "I'd better finish my cousin's business first. I plan to open a shop in the future and earn money to support my cousin. Even if there is no man to support her, there is no shortage of money."
"Well, you're very thoughtful, so let's do this. Then wash up and sleep."
"Uh~ You don't want to eat?" Mu Xiaolu stared blankly holding the spoon, seeing that a large bowl of rice had been fed.
So the two slept on the same couch after washing.Because if you don't share the bed with him, Wang Hui can hear clearly when he enters the courtyard three times, it's too disturbing.Since you want to have a serious talk with him, let's share the same bed, anyway, this man won't be able to break free for a while.
Wang Hui said, "It's so hot, I don't want to wear clothes to sleep."
Mu Xiaolu: "I'm hot too, but I don't want to sleep naked, you can do whatever you want."
"You touch my heart, it's beating so fast."
"Row."
"Ah~ it hurts!"
"Deserved!"
"It's time for me to touch you."
"Fuck off!"
